Limited effect of refined carbohydrate dietary supplementation on colonization of the gastrointestinal tract of healthy subjects by Candida albicans1,2

Abstract
Background: Infections due to Candida albicans occur readily in situations in which ample glucose is available. In mice, dietary refined carbohydrate supplementation leads to higher rates of Candida growth in the gastrointestinal tract and favors mucosal invasion.
Objective: The modulating properties of dietary carbohydrate supplementation on colonization of the human gastrointestinal tract by C. albicans were evaluated.
Design: A 2-step study was conducted in 28 healthy volunteers. First, we determined the subjects' habitual uptake of refined carbohydrates and correlated these data with the C. albicans blastoconidia concentration in the mouth washes and feces of subjects with no intervention. Second, we compared C. albicans counts in the specimens before, during, and after a high-sugar diet.
Results: No correlation between C. albicans counts in the specimens and the habitual uptake of refined carbohydrates was observed. A high-sugar diet did not increase the frequency of C. albicans–positive samples, the number of subjects positive for C. albicans in the mouth washes, or the concentration of candidal blastoconidia in the samples of the 28 subjects. However, in selected subjects with elevated counts of oral C. albicans, we observed an increase in fecal C. albicans counts in response to the diet.
Conclusions: The effect of adding a high amount of refined carbohydrates to the diet of healthy human subjects has a limited influence on Candida colonization. Follow-up studies should define whether selected patient groups might benefit from dietary restriction of refined carbohydrates.

I am not surprised at all that they found very little influence on the growth of Candida albicans with a high carbohydrate diet. First of all most of the sugar will be absorbed long before it could reach the colon. Secondly, the biggest factor concerning the growth or inhibition of growth of C. albicans is the pH of the terrain. An alkaline pH from a lack of flora turns on the Candida growth gene as where the acids from the flora turn off the growth gene.
This is why people rarely get their Candida under control with a Candida diet. Unless the diet includes means to build up the flora such as fibers and cultured foods the Candida is not going to be put back under control.
As for the sugars and acid reflux this is pretty common. The most common cause of reflux is a lack of stomach acid leading to fermentation instead of digestion. The fermentation of sugars produces a lot of gas in the stomach putting pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When the LES tires out it relaxes and the gas rushes up the esophagus carrying the traces of acid with it.

This is a reply to # 1,945,949I think the study is saying that people positive to C. Albicans showed an increase in the number of them after the high-sugar diet.
" However, in selected subjects with elevated counts of oral C. albicans, we observed an increase in fecal C. albicans counts in response to the diet."
In fact they're saying that they did not count an increase in c. albicans after the diet but they did not say that people already had an overgrowth to begin with. So if the people were healthy, the Sugar had no effect or very little.
But my english understanding is limite, so please correct if I'm wrong.

But my english understanding is limite, so please correct if I'm wrong.Yes, they are saying that in most the subjects there was no increase in C. albicans by the high refined carbohydrate diet.
But they did find a correlation of increased fecal C. albicans in individuals who already had an oral overgrowth.
This ties in though with what I have been saying about Candida all along. In a healthy individual the diet is not going to cause Candida overgrowth because the growth of Candida is regulated by pH. The flora generate acids that control the Candida.
In order to have the overgrowth there has to be a lack of flora to keep the Candida controlled. This includes the oral cavity that also has flora to control the Candida. The acids produced by the flora not only keep the Candida in a benign yeast form it also turns off the growth gene. Since the growth gene is turned off it does not matter if sugar is present the Candida will not grow out of control. On the other hand if the Candida gene is turned on due to a lack of flora acids then the Candida is going to flourish on the sugars.

The only connection I can think of is that the fats slow down gastric emptying. This means more time for fermentation in the stomach thus more gas pushing on the lower esophageal sphincter.
Have you tried increasing your stomach acidity when eating fats to reduce fermentation? If you use a strong acid like betaine HCl this can also help to speed up gastric emptying time as well.
