A Simple Saliva Test to see if you have a Candida overgrowth?

In clinic we use a variety of either blood or urine tests to measure the levels of Candida in the body, however, you can conduct your own Candida overgrowth test at home with a test called “The Spit Test.” Just follow these three steps for six consecutive days when you first rise in the morning:

• Before brushing your teeth, eating, or drinking, fill a glass halfway with room-temperature water
• Spit a coin-sized amount of saliva into the water and check the water three times over the next 45 minutes
• If your saliva floats at the top, then you do not have Candida overgrowth; if your saliva sinks or grows leg-like structures that reach down into the glass, then you likely have Candida overgrowth.
