    Testing for candida can be difficult and frustrating. Even if you have strong symptoms of candida overgrowth in the gut stool testing can still come up negative.
    Today I wanted to share my preferred initial test to assess for fungal overgrowths in the body. The Organic Acids Test (OAT test) has become my favourite baseline test for anyone with chronic and complex conditions including generalised pain and fibromyalgia, suppressed immune function, poor energy, anxiety, and my favourite subject digestive health issues!

    I wish more doctors would actually recognize candida overgrowth!! So difficult for typical western doctor to diagnose any of the symptoms, only yeast infections! And even at that, diflucan is the only way they treat it >:(((

    I agree with you that stool testing and blood antibody testing both underdiagnose fungal overgrowth. But, to play devil's advocate here, are you at all suspicious that OAT testing is "overdiagnosing* fungal overgrowth? Might the truth lie somewhere in the middle? I say this because I've run a lot of OATs over the years, too, and it seems like that test "diagnoses" fungal overgrowth far more frequently than I feel is realistic.

      Hmm very interesting. Best approach I have found is history and symptoms with labs to confirm a theory. The last piece here would be how well a patient improves on a targeted treatment plan. I do suspect that with our massive exposure to antibiotics and common low butyrate/butyrate producing bacteria that fungal issues would be extremely common, definitely in my patient population. Love the input! 🙌

      @@ByronHerbalist I love your approach! I agree, I think the best info comes from the person's response when you attempt to treat the fungal overgrowth. If they respond positively I think you're on the right path.

    I am taking Forxiga against my prediabetes. It has an unbearable side effect. Sugar is expelled through out urine and it makes sort of a culture of candida in all the region of vagina and labia! I am thinking to switch Forxiga to Metformin, as before.

    Hi! Im so glad to have found you! I’ve been experiencing a long list of symptoms for 15 months without a medical diagnosis despite seeing many docs. I think I’m suffering from mold toxicity & candida overgrowth. What tests do you recommend to get the most accurate results for mold & candida? Im beginning to lean towards the organics acid test in combination with mycotox. Thanks in advance!!! Victoria

    Hi Todd, it was my understanding that the fungal overgrowth found in the OAT's is systemic and tested from the metabolites in the urine etc exposing long-term and also possibly mould, yeast etc... and the Candida markers in the CMM stool test were a current infection in the digestive tract and does not show systemic?

    • @ByronHerbalist
      @ByronHerbalist  Před rokem +1

      Love the input. The OAT looks beyond the large bowel for infections and overgrowths although I highly doubt the OAT is showing ‘systemic’ fungal overgrowths in most. These patients would generally be in the hospital and their immune system would be seriously compromised. The OAT looks at metabolites of fungal growth in the body, I suspect small bowel in some, definitely large bowel in others and sometimes lungs when the green mould markers are positive and symptoms line up. With every patient I assume it is representing hollow space organs/epithelial tissues (intestines, urinary tract, lungs etc). Hope that helps 😊

      Good question! Low and slow and only as tolerated ramping up to stronger antifungal approaches as needed. Probiotics would be a gentle way to start
