Food Sensitivity Test - CANDIDA ADD-ON (Must have Purchased a Food Sensitivity Test as well)

Elevated IgG antibodies to Candida are often found when someone has a fungal infection of some sort. For example, vaginal yeast infection, ‘jock itch’, and ringworm.  Consuming too many sugar-rich foods can contribute to overgrowth of Candida.  Symptoms associated with Candida overgrowth include:

• clouded thinking
• depression
• diarrhea
• fatigue
• menstrual pain
• vaginal yeast infections
• headaches

The RMA FST™ offers Candida IgG antibodies as a panel option, however, chronic exposure to Candida, particularly when it has colonized or invaded the gut lining, can result in the elevation of IgG, IgA, and IgM specific antibodies. You can order the Candida Panel, which tests for IgG, IgA and IgM if you suspect chronic exposure with the food sensitivity test.

The Candida Panel measures levels of IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies to Candida plus Candida antigen in a blood sample.  Measurement of Candida antigen in blood indicates widespread infection, which can occur in immunocompromised individuals.
