DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR CANDIDA

Our naturopath will help you diagnose or confirm if you have candidiasis accurately. If you think you may have it, please consult your naturopath or doctor. The following methods of diagnosis are used:

  1. Patient history and physical exam – diet, lifestyle, recent antibiotic use, etc


  2. Candida Questionnaire


  3. Antibody and antigen levels in blood for Candida


  4. Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis


  5. Wet mount: Scrapings obtained from skin, nails, or oral or vaginal mucosa may be examined under a microscope for pseudohyphae


  6. Urinalysis (UA) positive for Candida species may predict 38-80% of systemic candidiasis. Imaging Studies: Chest x-ray (CXR) may be helpful in diagnosis of pulmonary candidiasis
