If you have any thoughts that you may have an issue with a yeast Infection or Candida Albicans, doing the easy Candida Spit Test might give you a better indication.

It is not fully clear how the test came about, however it has been in existence for some time now. I recommend you use it as an indicator only as it is only meant to provide an indication, and should not be relied upon as your only form of diagnosis.

This is how you go about doing a Candida Spit Test:

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.

Do not even sneak a quick good morning Kiss in first… I am certain they can wait for a minute or 2.

Take note of the appearance of your spit as soon as you have put it in the water.

Check again 2 or 3 minutes later. After you have caught up on that Kiss…

Try and observe your Candida spit test again in 15 min intervals.

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.

You are likely to be experiencing a Candida Albicans issue if you see the following.

Strings traveling down to the bottom of the glass.

Cloudy saliva that sinks to the bottom of the glass.

You may observe a cloudy type of speck hanging in the water.

The more strings and cloudiness there are, and the faster it develops, the greater the Candida albicans overgrowth.

Having observed the results of your Candida Spit Test, if you feel that there is a reasonable chance that you have some degree of Candida Overgrowth, then my recommendation is that you start assessing what you eat. Regardless whether the food you eat has started the issue or not, is not the point. Your diet will almost certainly be an underlying contributor. To avoid further occurrences you will need to consider moving to food types that are less conducive to Candida overgrowth.

Some of the food groups that can cause a problem are those with high sugar content, that contain yeast, and dairy products.

Some other foods that may also cause a problem are, Vinegar, Mushrooms, processed foods, coffee and tea and dried, processed or pickled meats.

Other contributing factors are the use of oral contraceptives, steroids, antacids, or frequent or long-term use of antibiotics pregnancy smoking food allergies and intolerance’s and diabetes.

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.
