Candida metabolites tests

Gluten intolerance or candidiasis?

This test detects the presence of Candidiasis: the excessive proliferation of a fungus, called Candida, in your intestine.

Candidiasis can be responsible for a series of discomforts that you experience on a daily basis, similar to those of gluten intolerance:
Digestive: bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, digestive heaviness, diarrhoea or constipation.
Neuro-psychic : fatigue, reduced concentration and focus, memory problems, brain fog, anxiety.

Many people think they are allergic or intolerant to gluten because they experience these discomforts after eating pasta, for example. In reality, in many cases it's the refined carbohydrates in pasta, bread or alcohol that cause the problem, not the gluten (wheat protein). The problem comes from Candida feeding on refined carbohydrates. Each time refined carbohydrates are taken, the symptoms reappear.


What does the test include?

  • Home-delivered sample collection kit

  • Analysis of your samples by our functional biology medical laboratory

  • Receipt of your test results and their comprehensible explanations

  • Recommendations for diet and supplementation, together with a personalised programme based on your analysis results.

Candida

Candida is a fungus present in your intestine, which is tolerated in small quantities. When present in excessive quantities, it secretes at least 35 known toxins that disrupt brain function, the immune system and all the body's other systems (digestive, joint, muscular, hormonal, etc.).

In fact, when your body is weakened or your intestine lacks certain good bacteria, these fungi, called Candida, can develop excessively. A diet too rich in refined sugars can also be a determining factor.

Sugar and Candida: a vicious circle

A diet rich in refined sugars and excessive proliferation of the candida fungus have a mutual impact, forming a vicious circle.

Candida feeds on refined sugars to develop. It then produces substances that cross the intestinal wall and the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective barrier whose main function is to separate the central nervous system (CNS) from the bloodstream.

Substances produced by Candida that have passed through the wall into the CNS stimulate sugar cravings.

How does the test work?

It is a urine analysis. It allows you to assess whether the fungi are present in excessive quantities by analysing the presence of certain metabolites in your urine.

The urine is collected in a small jar in the morning. The day before you collect your urine, you should eat starchy foods such as white flour (pasta, bread, etc.), refined sugars (sweets, biscuits, etc.) and a glass of alcohol if you feel like it. Eating refined sugars the day before helps to identify the activity of candida fungi by feeding them.

You then send your sample to the laboratory free of charge using a pre-paid label. The quality of your samples is guaranteed thanks to the isothermal box sent to you to keep the sample at a temperature below 8°C during transport.

FAQ

What's the difference with a health check?

The tests offered are not those required as part of a basic check-up. These basic check-ups are designed to rule out an illness (such as an infection, a generalised infection, hepatitis, a virus, anaemia, etc.) and not to assess any malfunctions in the body that may be at the root of chronic symptoms;

Why haven't these analyses been offered to you yet?

These analyses help to identify the causes of chronic discomfort rather than acute illness. Doctors recommend general health check-ups to detect acute or sub-acute illnesses. In the case of chronic discomforts, these check-ups generally offer no solutions;


The use of these analyses requires specific knowledge of functional biology. They are therefore generally recommended by doctors with training in the field - which is not yet the case for all referring doctors.

What is chronic discomfort?

Chronic discomfort is characterised by a number of factors: 

  • The cause cannot be detected in a general health check-up and there is no precise drug treatment

  • They disrupt our quality of life considerably

  • We don't die from them

  • The treatments tried have not been effective
