You send three samples of the stool and they test to see the levels of bacteria whether they are normal flora or in excess. One of the main things is Candida which can cause yeast growth in intestines. The permeability thereby of the intestines could effect the brain and in children with less emotional control compared to adults that results in various allergies and behavioral problems. I am not an expert but thats what Ilearnt from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi Dawn, Having a white coating on your tongue is not necessarily related to candida. I had an overgrowth of candida albicans a few months ago, and my tongue was as normal as can be. I went to my naturopathic doctor who ordered a stool sample which determined my diagnosis. My treatment was no sugar, fruit or fermented foods (alcohol, vinegar, etc.) plus several natural supplements and a tincture to kill off the wee beasties. I don't know of any specific (and reliable) websites, but I would suggest if possible seeing a (certified) naturopathic physician to help you with this. Another thing to think about is brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth. This may sound strange until you think that you're just doing for your tongue what you do for your teeth: brushing away the gunk that sticks to surfaces after chewing. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Dawn, I had a HUGE problem with this during pregnancy #3; I had asthma and Candida BIG TIME due to steroid meds and other stuff I was on (pre-NT). I was unable to completely get rid of this until after delivery. During pregnancy I ate probiotics and did no sugar, but that wasn't enough. In the last 6 months I changed to NT diet. Also, I did Fungal Defense (for eliminating candida) and then now I do Primal Defense (for probiotics and EM) by Garden of Life. I'm sure you could check out other brands, but that was what I used. Finally, after all this, my candida is nearly gone, and tongue looks normal. Hope this helps! Rebekah Candida albicans I thought I'd throw this topic out there for you all. I read that if you have a white coating on your tongue that it is almost certainly a sign of overgrowth of candida albicans. Is that true? I, unfortunately, do have a white coating on my tongue. Is it possible that I have it from years of eating refined flour and sugar? I was a carb addict before. I heard that coconut oil is good at killing off the excess candida. Can anyone recommend a reliable website on the subject? Ciao, Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, there's an equivalent over here if I need to take them or else I'll have to wait til my mother comes over for a visit. Did you go get tested for it to make sure that's what you had or did you just start taking the medicines? Dawn > > Candida albicans > > > I thought I'd throw this topic out there for you all.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 There is a wonderful web site for anyone with candida issues. Go to candida treatment You will find files there containing an excellent diet plan, etc., etc. plus some very informed and helpful people.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I didn't get tested, it was pretty obvious what the problem was. I had white spots on my tongue and sides and top of my mouth. Both my OB and my allergist were 100 % sure it was candida. However, because of all the steroids I was on for my asthma symptoms, I couldn't get rid of it. I was taking probiotics, eating no white sugar or natural sweeteners, brushing and flossing like a maniac and even gargling this oral stuff for candida. None of it worked. What worked was getting my colon back in proper balance through diet and supplements. Rebekah Candida albicans > > > I thought I'd throw this topic out there for you all.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I agree with Rebekah. The way I beat my candida was getting my digestive system back on track through diet and supplements also. That's how I was diagnosed-- through a stool sample. Actually, my ND was sure that's what I had, but she had me get the test done to verify anyway.

I'm just guessing, but it might be a fun experiment. Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
