The New IgG Food Allergy Test w/ Candida is Now Available

For Behavioral, Digestive, & Chronic Disorders

IgG antibodies to Candida are now included in the IgG Food Allergy Test at no

additional charge. High levels of IgG antibodies to the yeast Candida have been

found in patients who scored high on a questionnaire regarding symptoms of yeast

overgrowth, like sugar cravings which can improve with antifungal therapy.

In one study, individuals with pituitary malfunction had Candida antibodies that

reacted to a human pituitary protein. Candida antibodies are often elevated in

patients with Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. Individuals with

cancer and elevated IgG antibodies to Candida died an average of one year sooner

than individuals with cancer and normal amounts of IgG antibodies to Candida. A

wide range of disorders have been linked to Candida including depression,

chronic fatigue, thyroid disorders, autism, multiple sclerosis, vulvodynia, and

others. Use of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, chemotherapy, and

anti-inflammatory steroids greatly increases susceptibility to Candida.

Overgrowth of Candida may also cause a rise in cases of food allergies.
