Welcome to the Candida Overload Quiz.
Are you experiencing digestive issues, increased allergic reactions, joint pain, nutrient deficiencies, oral thrush, rashes and other skin reactions, recurrent urinary tract or vaginal infections, or strong carbohydrate and sugar cravings? Then you may have candida overgrowth.
While candida is a common naturally occurring species of yeast, candida overgrowth can upset the delicate balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, causing problems in the body.
Take the quiz to find out if this is the root cause of your symptoms.
