Description
What this test shows
This test gives a detailed analysis of the microbiome, measuring not just the presence of the candida yeast, but other yeasts, fungus and parasites including protozoa, worms and any parasitic ova. Stool testing is the most reliable way of detecting candida – urine tests for candida measure D-arabinitol, an alcohol formed when candida yeast species are present, however sugar and alcohol intake can influence levels of this analyte.
Who this test is for
Symptoms associated with candida are wide ranging. It can affect mental health (mood swings, depression, brain fog, inability to focus or concentrate, headaches), and skin health (acne, rashes, psoriasis, dermatitis, dry skin, itching all over). Other symptoms include fatigue, thrush, bladder infections, fungal infections, decreased libido, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating.
