Candida, like all parasites, is a living organism
that feeds and lives on another organism.

what do you mean by 'irritating your host'?

Sorry, I stated that incorrectly. What I should have said
is "they are irritating their host." Meaning by you,the host,
eating fermented foods is disturbing them.

And is it really good to just keep eating the foods if I am, say, feeling very dizzy or my joints are really painful?

I would cleanse my body...colon, liver, parasite and kidney.
A good parasite cleanse will reduce your fungal load.Thus,
greatly reducing or eliminating the reaction you are having
with the fermented foods. You can then use the fermented
foods to heal and nourish your body.

Best of Health to You!
