Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. In some cases it is due to leaky gut
caused by the Candida hyphae penetrating the gut wall and making it
permeable to very large molecules. When these larger molecules enter the
peritoneal cavity where they do not belong the body sees them as an
intruder and mounts an immune response. Anything that enters your
digestive tract can end up in your peritoneal cavity, including all
kinds of chemicals. Food allergies are a common result, and apparently
so is chemical allergy, although I don't think Candida is the only cause
of MCS. A genetic component has been demonstrated in Irish, English and
Native American populations.
