How To Take a Candida Spit Test?
If you have any thoughts that you may have an issue with a yeast Infection or Candida Albicans, doing the easy Candida Spit Test might give you a better indication.
The source of this test is unknown but it has been around a long time. The reliability of it is an open argument, however taking the test is easy and non intrusive. There is no harm in taking the test as a precursor to going to see your doctor.
Listed below is how to go about the Candida Spit Test;
Get a see through glass, top it up with water and put it near your bed or in the bath room so that you remember to do the test the very first thing you do in the morning.
Upon waking the next morning, allow your saliva to develop in your mouth for a minute or so and when you have a reasonable quantity spit it into the water. (The water in your glass that is)
It is important that nothing enters your mouth or touches your lips before you do this.
Do not even sneak a quick good morning Kiss in first… I’m sure they will understand just this one time!
As soon as you have spat into the glass, observe what it looks like.
Once you have sorted out that good morning kiss you should re assess the appearance of your spit.
Keep checking the Candida Spit Test about every fifteen minutes or so.
If possible your Candida spit test should be carried out over an hour. The minimum time frame should be half an hour.
Healthy saliva will be clear, it will float on top and it will slowly dissolve into the water without any cloudiness and without sinking.
There are normally some bubbles or foam present.
Candida saliva will have one or more characteristics that point to a Candida albicans overgrowth:
A stringiness that goes towards the bottom.
Cloudy saliva that sinks to the bottom of the glass.
Cloudy specks suspended in the water
It may be that you observe all of the above. This is a strong indication of candida particularly if it happens quickly.
On the assumption that your Candida Spit test indicated that you are likely to have some sort of yeast or Candida overgrowth. The best place to begin is to review the foods that you consume. They may not necessarily have sparked this problem, but they are more than likely a very real contributor. This needs to be resolved to avoid ongoing issues.
Some of the food groups that can cause a problem are those with high sugar content, that contain yeast, and dairy products.
Some other foods that may also cause a problem are, Vinegar, Mushrooms, processed foods, coffee and tea and dried, processed or pickled meats.
Other contributing factors are the use of oral contraceptives, steroids, antacids, or frequent or long-term use of antibiotics pregnancy smoking food allergies and intolerance’s and diabetes.
Of course you should also make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your concerns. Your Candida Spit Test is just a preliminary test. They are in the best position to make a thorough examination to find out where you are at.
