Scratching the area where there is a candida overgrowth can make it worst.

To help with the itch, try keeping the area as dry as possible. Wear dry cotton underwear to allow breathing. Furthermore, you can avoid eating certain foods which can further irritate the itch during a bowel movement.

To reduce stomach acid and to get your stomach to work better, chewing is very important. Chewing ensures that food is digested properly and excreted as it should after a meal.

Chewing food properly, smaller portion sizes, is the way to go. Stress accounts for so much inactive stomach function.

If the stomach acid is weak or too alkaline, the body can develop candida overgrowth as well. Candida can cause many digestive problems when large in numbers. You will want to ensure that you treat the overgrowth of candida, if that is what you are dealing with.
