The Home Candida Test: How To Tell If You Have Candida

Confirming you have a candida infection is as challenging as getting rid of candida completely. It is therefore advisable to make sure you have candida before you decide to spend your hard earned money on candida medication, supplements or diets. Assuming you have candida symptoms isn't enough you must visit your doctor for proper diagnosis. Alternatively, you can take a home test for confirmation.

The test 

Before going to bed, fill a clear glass with water and place it nearby (preferably by your bed). When you wake up in the morning, rinse your mouth and then gather saliva and spit into the glass filled with water. You must make sure you spit saliva only (not mucus). Examine the water for approximately 30 minutes. If you have candida, you will see the following in your glass;

1. Strings hanging from the saliva.

2. Heavy looking saliva accumulation at the bottom.

3. Cloudy specks suspensions in the water.
 

If within a few minutes (i.e. three minutes after splitting into the glass of water), you notice strings hanging down, cloudy specks or debris accumulation at the bottom, this is an indication that you have extensive candida overgrowth. This will require very serious candida fighting solution. In the case where it takes longer for you to see the above indicators, you most probably have a mild form of candida. If saliva floats on top leaving the water clear, you most likely don’t have candida overgrowth at all.

How the candida test works

The logic behind the above candida test is very simple. If you are suffering from candida overgrowth, it will most likely manifest itself in the saliva which is a perfect environment for yeast overgrowth. Once you spit into the water, aerated saliva is obviously lighter than water. Candida is however heavier than both aerated saliva and water.

Whether it accumulates at the bottom, sinks or floats in the water, these are all candida indications. The faster you see it, the more severe the infection is. Candida is known to concentrate itself in saliva at night. This test is therefore more accurate when done in the morning just after waking up. Rinsing your mouth first is important to eliminate mold that may be present in your saliva if you happen to sleep in a room with mold.

Many people have doubts on the accuracy of this candida test however I have suggested this test to many people and the results have been nothing short of accurate. Clear water with no debris is an indication that you don't have candida overgrowth. The other results mentioned above are a sure sign of candida overgrowth. From my years of experience, everyone who tests positive using the spit test has candida symptoms.

Some individuals with candida have even tested negative on stool and blood tests even though they manifested clear candida symptoms. It is therefore accurate to conclude that the spit test can be more accurate than some candida tests carried out by doctors.   For complete certainty & piece of mind though, I would strongly recommend carrying out the home test - and visiting a doctor for further confirmation.
