Candida Albicans is a yeast and a fungus that exists in small amounts in the intestinal tract. Antibiotics, excessive consumption of sugar and alcohol, mold and food allergies can cause Candida to multiply. In small amounts Candida is harmless. Moderate amounts may contribute to many troubling problems including chronic female yeast infections, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, skin rashes, gas and bloating. If left untreated, Candida can migrate throughout the body until it becomes systemic.
GHI Medical also offers blood testing for mold and food allergies which are major contributors to the overgrowth of yeast.
