The effects of Candida infection (often referred to as Candidiasis) can have many nasty effects on the body.. Common symptoms include bowel discomfort all the way to heart palpitations to acne to thrush and many more. Symptoms really do range in annoyance from person to person as well as depending a lot on how much candida overgrowth is present.

One I forgot to mention is feeling feint and shaky..
Candida infection and die-off symptoms are very similar.
Only a doctor knows for sure
It is very hard for a doctor to determine the extend of candida without extensive tests so partly it is the symptoms that help work out the extent for the patient. Unless of course you have a doctor on hand to take samples every day or so..
