About the Candida Test Candida is a normal resident of the human gastrointestinal tract; it is also the most common fungal pathogen of humans. This test measures 4 different types of yeasts; Candida albicans, Candida (species), Geotrichum candidum and if there is occurrence of yeast overgrowth. Candida is a type of fungus that is found naturally in our intestines, mouth and skin. It has the task of recognising and destroying harmful bacteria. Healthy bacteria help maintain a good balance of yeast. However, the natural balance of Candida in the body is often unstable, and as such it can easily become disrupted. This is why Candida infections are very common. Candida overgrowth When there is an overgrowth of this fungus, the problems arise. An overgrowth can occur after, for example, taking antibiotics, when heavy metals are accumulated in the body, when having a weakened immune system, due to incorrect diet, stress or after taking certain drugs. In candida overgrowth, various toxins are created which in turn can lead to a number of different symptoms (see below). Examples of some of these toxins in the body are ethanol, acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. There are multiple types of infections caused by Candida Albicans. There is the infection of the mouth and throat, referred to as Trush, which causes white bumps to appear in the mouth and throat. The test is a simple stool test collected at home and analysed at a ISO certified and accredited lab.

Yeast that the test analyses Candida (species) Candida species are the most common causes of fungal infection Candida species are normally part of the natural microflora. The candida species can cause infections if it grows uncontrollably or if it enters deep into the body, where it could potentially cause infections in the bloodstream, heart or brain. Candida albicans Candida albicans is a yeast that occurs naturally in small amounts. Normally, Candida does not cause any problems or discomfort. However, under certain conditions it can grow uncontrollably. Such conditions include hormonal changes (possibly caused by a pregnancy), a weakened immune system and usage of antibiotics or hormones. Additionally, stress and an unbalanced diet that consist of too much refined carbohydrates, sugar and yeast can also cause an overgrowth, in which case you will end up with a Candida infection. The most common one is a vaginal infection. This type of infection is also called vaginal candidiasis and it affects about 3 out of 4 women at some point in their lives. Yeasts (positive or negative) Not all yeast is negative. For example, nutritional yeast is a great source of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Geotrichum candidum This yeast is often found in dairy products, such as cheese. It appears on human skin, inside the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. There it can cause diseases, mainly in people who have a weakened immune system. The infection it causes is called geotrichosis. Symptoms include prominent chronic cough, gelatinous sputum, lack of fever and medium to coarse rales. 2.
