Do You Have a Yeast (Candida) Overgrowth?

Liz Sheehan, our Nutritional Therapist, explains an easy way to find out:

1.  First thing in the morning before you do anything else, spit (gather as much saliva as you can) into a glass of water. (Take a glass of water up to bed with you).

2.  Leave for 15 minutes.

3.  If your saliva floats it’s yeast free.

4.  If it grows ‘legs’, makes the water go cloudy or sinks to the bottom you have a yeast overgrowth.

Yeast infections affect people differently. That’s why this list of symptoms is very broad and can mimic symptoms associated with other conditions. If you are experiencing more than one of these symptoms, you should take the test. You also need to cut out foods such as sugar, yeast (breads, marmite, stock cubes etc) and yeasty foods like vinegars, alcohol, dried fruit, fermented foods (sauerkraut, kombucha etc) and mushrooms.
