Key Lab Markers

  • Comprehensive stool test (Candida species, overgrowth markers, other fungi), GI-MAP or equivalent, Organic Acids Test (MOST SENSITIVE—Candida metabolites: D-Arabinitol, Tartaric acid—elevated indicates Candida overgrowth even if stool test negative), Candida antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM—indicates systemic exposure/immune response), Mycotoxin urine test (if concurrent mold exposure suspected), Blood tests: Comprehensive metabolic panel, Fasting glucose and insulin (high blood sugar feeds Candida), HbA1c (diabetes screening), CBC (white blood cells, eosinophils), Food sensitivity panel (Candida causes leaky gut—food sensitivities develop), Vitamin D, Zinc, Selenium, B vitamins, Ferritin (iron—deficiency common with Candida)
