Understanding Allergy, Individual Marker, CANDIDA ALBICANS


What is Allergy, Individual Marker, CANDIDA ALBICANS?

Allergy, Individual Marker, Candida albicans test is used to check if a person is hypersensitive to this fungus. The fungus grows on the skin and can cause severe infections if not treated timely. Doctors confirm this allergy by doing a simple skin prick test and testing it with the fungus. Allergic symptoms typically seen include extreme itchiness, redness, mild inflammation, hives, sneezing, and watery eyes. Consuming yeast as part of one’s diet can also cause bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort.


The symptoms are treated with oral antifungal medicines and antihistamines. For safety, avoid excess carbohydrates and alcohol since they contain high sugar and feed the growth of the fungus. Consume probiotics for strengthened immunity against Candida infections in the gut and vagina.
