Candida antibody tests are necessary to determine if the body needs any external medications to recover from a yeast infection. The pathogen has the ability to self-stabilize and not allow the gut microbiota to recover and restore the normal metabolic environment. It consolidates its position in the digestive tract and further damages the inner lining, resulting in the release of food and other particles into the bloodstream. Leaking intestine is the main reason for food intolerance and gas build-up and subsequent complications.

The type of treatment that will be prescribed depends on determining how the body’s immune system is addressing the problem. Measuring the presence of immunoglobulin proteins such as IgG in the intestinal flora helps establish the answer to this question and determine the treatment measures that must be taken to address proliferation. A chronic case such as candidiasis, in which fungi have penetrated the mucosal tissues, increases the level of IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies. In such cases, their levels are found to be considerably higher than they would have been under normal circumstances.

All Candida-related antigen and antibody tests should be monitored by a practicing physician and evaluated in relation to the individual’s medical history. As in the case of all tests, the results depend on several factors, such as past infections, the presence of the protein in the affected tissues, and many more. For example, in the case of IgG, the tests would not be positive if the person suffers from a disease and already has a high incidence of antibodies in their serum. In certain cases, IgG can persist for several years after the infection has been completely eradicated. This is mainly due to the ability of immunoglobulins to persist for a long period of time.

IgA predominates in mucosal tissues, although it represents less than 20% of the proteins found in human serum. A high incidence of IgA can be associated with mucosal epithelial, tracheobronchial, and genitourinary Candida infections. IgM is found in intravascular cells and is the predominant immunoglobulin in early infections. Later diseases may show a lower level of this antibody compared to earlier ones. In addition to these tests that may or may not be positive, antigen checks help determine whether proliferation has overwhelmed the intestinal flora. The presence of Candida antigen in the serum is a very positive indicator that the fungus has already entrenched itself in the intestine. However, the absence of the antigen is an indeterminate result and cannot be taken as a positive sign indicating the absence of the pathogen.

An ImuPro test helps find all allergies that affect patients. ImuPro tests analyze the patient’s reaction to more than 271 varieties of foods and help to clearly define the sources of any allergies.
