Candida Antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM)
What This Test Measures
Immune response to Candida overgrowth
Conventional vs. Functional Optimal Range
The gap between these ranges is why you feel terrible with "normal" labs. Conventional medicine waits for disease. Functional medicine optimizes for health.
Gabriel's Take
Candida is a normal gut yeast but overgrows with antibiotics, high sugar, or immune suppression. Positive Candida antibodies (especially IgG) = systemic yeast overgrowth → fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, thrush. Integrative practitioners use an antifungal diet and antimicrobials. Conventional medicine often dismisses this.
When This Test Is High
Candida overgrowth (gut, systemic)
When This Test Is Low
No Candida overgrowth
Related Conditions
Yeast overgrowth, chronic fatigue, brain fog, thrush
Recommended Follow-Up
If positive, antifungal diet (low sugar, no yeast), antifungal herbs (oregano, caprylic acid) or medication (nystatin, fluconazole)
