Fungal growth in the intestine is surprisingly common and largely an unavoidable hygiene issue as 15% of the microbiome is fungus, that people need to understand and address. The term "Candida" has become the buzzword often used to describe this issue by lay persons, though it oversimplifies a more complex problem it does its job and lets people discuss the issue, which is usually straightforward to fix with options like antifungal medications, biofilm disruptors, a carnivore diet, probiotics, and other interventions. Dismissing these concerns as "crank" or "quackery" , the same school of thought as those who play dumb about fungal overgrowth and mislable issues as crohns, ibs etc etc , comes across as disingenuous and seems aimed at discouraging others from educating themselves about basic hygiene and health.
