313: Testing for Candida Overgrowth (Is the Candida Spit Test LEGIT?)
Manage episode 379548925 series 2510351
Testing for candida when you have what you think is a candida rash can feel really discouraging. Especially when you have all the classic signs of candida overgrowth, and yet, your test comes back “clear.”
What a frustrating waste of time and money, right?
These results probably leave you feeling like you don’t know where to turn, or what’s causing your rash.
And maybe you’ve even got symptoms of a fungal skin infection that don’t match up with test results. Now what?
Well first off, your test results may be accurate — maybe Candida isn’t at the heart of what’s going on with your skin.
But it’s absolutely possible that Candida is lurking under the surface…meaning that your test results aren’t exactly accurate.
In this episode, I’m digging into the complexities of testing for Candida and why you can’t always trust the results.
Just know that if you’re looking for answers and struggling to figure out exactly what’s causing your rash, there’s a way to stop throwing money away on tests that come back with inconclusive results.
I outline these tests in my Skin Rash Root Cause Testing Guide here to help you uncover which tests may help you the most (as well as how to order them).
So, let’s talk about testing for candida overgrowth, and why you may be getting a false negative with your candida test results.
In This Episode:
- How to test for candida and fungal overgrowth
- The best test for candida (this will surprise you!)
- The worst test for candida (it’s a worthless recommendation)
- Is the candida spit test accurate?
- How to deal with a yeast fungal skin infection or gut overgrowth
Quotes
“Urinary Organic Acid test is not the same as a Mycotoxin test, and cannot replace the information gathered through a mycotoxin test. So they are NOT interchangeable.”
“Yeast (fungal organisms) are extremely hardy. They’re “survivors” that can outlast your attempts to starve them through die and may even evade different treatment options.”
