Re: Newbie asks re Candida Testing (UK)

Thanks very much for the replies.

Think I'll look into this saliva test and maybe one another. As I said, I try to remain sceptical about the whole thing but the pattern certainly seems to be there that candida may be a problem. I just want to sort it out once and for all.

And there doesn't seem to be a great deal of information about the psychological effects of candida. If anyone else can point me to any articles, websites or their own experiences, I'd be grateful.

Personally, I found myself becoming a very anxious, and introverted person - feeling partiucaurly bad after eating. I would feel my head and body over heat and my face would flush, heightening the sense of social awkwardness I felt at the time. This has subsided to manageable levels over the years but I am still nowhere near the confident person I was before these mystery conditions struck. The anxiety on it's own would not have struck me as being connected to food but, what with the other symptoms all starting around the same time and all lessening when I embarked on the anti-candida diet, I tend to think there is a link.

Great forum btw.
