Passed Spit Test, Still Concerned

[killerbombshell]

I've passed the spit test several times, but still have a medical history and current symptoms that lead me to believe that I might have a candida overgrowth. Other than seeing my doctor, is there something at home I might be able to do to determine if this is the problem besides the spit test; or also a reason that I might have passed when I should've failed instead?

did you know candia live naturally in our mouth on our skin and in our gut and help as an antibacterial in the mouth? the trouble with candida is when it "moves from the normal population and overpopulates or it changes to a thready "fungal stage"

you can have a healthy mouth and still have a gut infection. you can tell real fast but painful and maybe not good for your atkins by feeding your gut yeasties and seeing what your intestinal reaction is.

First thing in the morning before eating or drinking, take a glass of water and spit in it, it should float on top of water, if it starts to get wispy legs hanging down from it then supposably you have a yeast problem. I think you have to watch it for like 10 or 15 minutes.
