Where to order candida test please

[Ari3]

Could u suggest me where can I order candida salvia test please? I have done candida spit test at home but I want to make sure it’s 100% candida I have to treat!

Ive found this link online (but no experience of it) directlabs.com/candida/Orde.... It originated from

thecandidadiet.com/testing-...

But note that my understanding is youll never know 100% anyhow. See candidaspecialists.com/cand... e.g. "In our practice we have seen many cases of conflicts between different lab tests done on the same patient at the same time: some tests came as negative while other as positive".

You didnt mention candida in your recent stool test so I assume none present according to that test? (there was some in mine albeit non-pathogenic). Your comment on your spit test implies that the result states it is present - is that correct?

I did a spit test in a jar this morning and saw long “legs” going down so it could indicate that I have Candida ?!

[userotc in reply to Ari3]

But note the false positives in some of my links eg "If you have allergies or have recently eaten some dairy products, you will likely test ‘positive’ on the spittle test. Dehydration can also lead to a positive reading, which in practice means that you are far more likely to test ‘positive’ after you wake in the morning. Clearly, the thickness of your mucus is no reliable indicator for gut-related health issues like Candida" from thecandidadiet.com/testing-....

A quick check of various sites indicates the stool test is probably best e.g. mindbodygreen.com/0-8376/10.... And youve had that.

I have got the link from purplejuicy I will order from there it’s a stool and spit sample just £61

OK keep me posted. My "gut" feeling (excuse the pun!) is you dont have candida if it did not show up in your recent stool test but it will be interesting to see what this new test finds.

My nutritionist said I have yeast but it is different type which mimic one pathogenic bacteria which causes same symptoms as Candida but she said to do the spit test in water which could give us indication if we need further testing .Also she said candidas spores can be erratic and can be and not be in different stool samples so from the safe side I will test. I used to eat so much sweets before but now when I am on AIP (autoimmune protocol diet) I can not think about sweets it makes me sick now how I could just eat pure sugar and cakes etc . I will better stick to kiwis pomegranate and avocados for time beeing maybe few berries .

It it showed sibo indication as there was one bacteria which was very high and indicated SIBO so SIBO test is on its way too.

[userotc in reply to Ari3]

As long as the result doesnt make you doubt the stool test results (indicating no candida) and hence take you around a vicious and expensive circle. The stool test may also give markers to indicate if SIBO may be present.

Good luck with the tests and keep me posted e.g. by PM.

[purplejuicy in reply to Ari3]

I haven’t no but the link was through the college of naturopathic medicine where I studied for 3 years so I knew it was a trusted site. Maybe you could email them to ask?

[Ari3 in reply to purplejuicy]

I already emailed them
