I can say with absolute certainty that candida is playing a very strong role in the onset of dementia/alzheimer's like symptoms in my mom. Since going strictly on an anti-candida diet it is day and night the difference. Basically she gets significantly more confused when shes not on the diet and it clears up the longer she's on the diet. She would have 2-day migraines from triggers in her diet (that feed the candida). We had this confirmed through lab testing showing exceptionally high levels of D-arabinitol. Needless to say I'm convinced candida or similar unbalanced microbiomes play a massive unrealized role in dementia/alzheimers, likely the primary role. Gut is the 2nd brain after all, neurons and all.
