Could anyone on this site tell me how you tell you've got Candida Also......

I would like to hear from anyone who has taken Kefir probiotic and if it done any good or not,also where would you get it from......... Going back to the beginning can you be tested for Candida and if so what is the test.Sorry but I'm grasping at straws now I don't know which way to turn..........sorry bad day

it could be candida is a state of temporary overgrowth of the fungus candida albican that will cause NO major damage or effects to the body. food supplement industry took advantage of this to crop more income of products they try convince us to buy with a network of sites.

you must take this in consideration and investigate if you got another disease causing the symptoms or the overgrowth of candida.

you can do the spit test at home - it is not science but it is an indication. search it on google. candida can be tested with a tongue surface test, and fecal examination. blood test is done on severe almost uncurable and deadly cases, very rare.

Probiotic is no fun to take it could make you feel stomach disconfort, not all brands are the same or as fresh as you wish them to be and they are not cheap.

i think the way to go is probiotic foods like Kefir, reinforced gout yogourt with good bacteria, fermenterd cabbage, fermented greek olives.

Thanks for your reply the reason I was going down the road of Kefir was the conflicting replys I got in a previous post,not from this site from NHS .
