Candida Spit Test - How To Observe?
Going through a Home based Candida Spit Test is really easy. It will give you a rough guide as to the likelihood that you have too much yeast or Candida in your system.
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.
The Candida Spit Test is carried out as per these instructions;
Put a full glass of water on your bedside table when going to bed. Make sure it is a clear glass, and if you don’t use a bedside table, put it in the bathroom. You just need to make sure you will see it as soon as you wake up.
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)
Make sure this is the very first thing you do. Do not drink or eat anything first or clean your teeth.
Don’t even kiss your partner! You will just have to keep them on hold for a moment…
Take note of the appearance of your spit as soon as you have put it in the water.
Once you have sorted out that good morning kiss you should re assess the appearance of your spit.
Check your Candida Spit Test every 15 minutes until you leave for the day.
Ideally your Candida spit test should be observed for 1 hour. Any less than 1/2 an hour will not be worthwhile doing it.
Healthy saliva will be clear, it will float on top and it will slowly dissolve into the water without any cloudiness and without sinking.
A bit of foam or a few bubbles are quite normal.
Candida saliva will have one or more characteristics that point to a Candida albicans overgrowth:
The spit will develop strings or tentacles.
Cloudy saliva that sinks to the bottom of the glass.
Cloudy specks suspended in the water
The more strings and cloudiness there are, and the faster it develops, the greater the Candida albicans overgrowth.
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.
The food types that typically contribute are, Dairy, Breads and grains, and fruits and juices that have high sugar content.
Foods like Coffee, mushroom, alcohol, and highly processed foods can also contribute.
Highly processed foods, the contraceptive pill and antibiotics can also spark a yeast overgrowth.
Seeking the advice of your General Practitioner is obviously something you need to do. Please treat your Candida Spit Test as just an easy test to do prior to seeing the doctor. They can run their tests to diagnose what is going on in much more depth than the Candida spit test.
