List Of Candida Symptoms

Candida symptems are vast and all encompassing and can even incapacitate the individual. Candida is nearly an epidemic in our society and is responsible for many of the chronic illness categories we see so frequently. Most people are unaware that it even exists, because most main stream doctors are uneducated about its impact on our health. People suffering from Candida often go from doctor to doctor for years and are usually told they are a hypochondriac or that it is stress or a psychiatric problem, before ever discovering the real culprit.

Candida symptems can vary from one person to another and often move back and forth between systems within the same individual. One day you may experience symptoms in the musculoskeletal system and the next day it could be the digestive system , etc. There are a variety of tests that practitioners use to diagnose yeast overgrowth, that may include stool tests, blood tests, live blood cell tests, etc., but the truth is that none of these tests are really reliable. They may or may not detect an infection of Candidiasis.

Yeast infection is common among women of childbearing age, but anyone can acquire it - man or woman, infant or adult.Oral yeast infections usually affect newborn babies, especially those of women already infected with vaginal yeast infection. Oral thrush may also be present in adults who do not follow hygienic measures when using dentures. Those who suffer from immunodeficiency diseases such as AIDS are also prone to develop oral thrush. Yeast infection can be transferred to the mouth through oral sex.The simple most effective way to know if you have a yeast problem is by your symptoms.

Here are the symptems of oral thrush:

* Thick white cream-colored deposits along the mucous membrane inside the oral cavity

* Burning pain in the mouth or throat

* Altered taste, especially when eating sweet or spicy food

*Difficulty in swallowing

* White or pinkish-red blotches on the tongue and gums, the sides and roof of the mouth, and the back of the throat.

Here's a very effective Candida test you can do yourself: [The spit test]

As soon as you wake up in the morning before you put anything in your mouth, get a glass of water in a clear glass that you can see through. Don't use tap water. Collect saliva in your mouth with your tongue and spit it into the glass.

Now keep an eye on your saliva in the glass for the next 15 minutes and observe what it does. If you see any of the following, then it indicates the presence of yeast colonies:

*Your saliva stays at the top and you see thin strands that look like strings or spider legs extending downward.

*Your saliva floats to the bottom and looks cloudy.

*Your saliva is suspended in mid-air and looks like little specs are floating.
