Candida's Impact on Your Health
GetTested's Candida Test is designed for individuals who suspect they might be suffering from an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a common yeast. Candida overgrowth can trigger a variety of symptoms, including brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, gas, bloating, and digestive issues. Our simple at-home stool test provides a reliable analysis, helping you identify the root cause of your discomfort.
Understanding Candida in Your Body
Normally, Candida coexists harmlessly in our gut and on our skin. Yet, certain factors like diet, antibiotics, or weakened immunity can disrupt this balance. Consequently, Candida overgrowth may occur. Our test not only detects Candida albicans but also other yeast types like Candida species and Geotrichum candidum.
Candida Overgrowth: Causes and Symptoms
Candida overgrowth can arise from antibiotic use, dietary choices, stress, or immune system weaknesses. It produces toxins like ethanol and acetaldehyde, leading to diverse symptoms. Recognizing symptoms such as skin issues, digestive disturbances, and sugar cravings is vital.
Candida albicans: Common Yet Troublesome
Candida albicans, found naturally in small quantities, can cause infections under certain conditions like hormonal changes or weakened immunity. The most prevalent infection is vaginal candidiasis, affecting many women.
The Positive Side of Yeasts
Not all yeasts have negative impacts. Nutritional yeast, for example, is a beneficial source of vitamins, minerals, and complete proteins.
Geotrichum candidum: A Special Focus
Often found in dairy products and human skin, Geotrichum candidum can cause geotrichosis, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Symptoms include a chronic cough and respiratory issues.
Identifying Candida Symptoms
Symptoms of Candida infection range from brain fog and skin problems to gastrointestinal discomfort and mood swings. Recognizing these signs is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
