I hate this?

Question

Ive been readin about candida because ive been havin problems with my sinuses. I did the spit test and I guess I have candida cuz the spit was stringy and sat at the bottom of the glass. I mean is this a legit test? can something else do this to my spit like post nasla drip or an excess amount of mucos? ive been to the doctor about my sinuses not the candida. From what ive been readin its kind of discouraging to even think about goin to a regular doctor. Is there any tests that actually look for candida that are legit? The main reason why ive been lookin into all this is because my breath. I remember this started bout 7 years ago, the bad breath. I didnt have sinus problems or anything, i jus felt like something was always in the back of my throat. I really never had the symptoms of candida. I went through a very stressful time a couple months back. Im really jus concerned about my breath. Would candida have anything to do with it? Ive done everything for my sinuses so iono what to do.

Answer 1

Hey 49er

Here is the answer to candida.

Determining if you have Candida
Because the symptoms of candida can closely mimic, and therefore be mistaken for symptoms of many other disease conditions, it can often be difficult to detect. Possible indications that you have candida are chronic, lingering symptoms, sugar cravings, and a variety of health complaints that have not resolved despite prolonged treatment attempts. If you are experiencing nagging health complaints, the following questionnaire can help you determine if candida may be involved:


Do you rely or have you relied upon antibiotic treatments to deal with infectious conditions, teenage or adult acne, or other long-term antibiotic use?

Do you rely or have you relied upon steroids such as cortisone to treat pain and/or skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rashes?

Do you suffer from repeated incidents of athlete's foot, “jock itch,” vaginal infections and/or ringworm?

Do headaches, bloating, depression, fatigue, memory problems, impotence or lack of libido, or muscle ache frequently bother you for reasons you can't identify?

Do you crave sweets and treats, pastries or cookies, alcohol, and/or simple carbohydrate such as white bread, bagels or pasta?

Do you use or have you used birth control pills?

Do you experience any of the following: bad breath, dry mouth, drowsiness, heartburn, mood swings, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, skin rashes, and/or a frequent need to urinate?

Is your tongue coated with whitish film, possibly thrush?

If you are a woman, do you experience severe symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and/or do you experience vaginal discharge or repeated yeast infections?


The more yes answers you have to the questions above, the more likely it is that you have some degree of candida. If so, we highly recommend testing for Candida; and, if appropriate, reading through the Candida Cleanse, a diet and supplement plan that requires a six-week to six-month commitment, depending on the severity of the condition

Best of health to you

Answer 2

check with a different doctor or ask them to do a culture. If its candida (yeast infection) then they will know by a culture. If its something else they will compare the culture to known cultures and find out what it is. Maybe its just a sinus infection and you are worrying about things too much. Bad breath is usually caused by gingivitus or other tooth decay type problem or the foods you eat either of which can affect your breath and ph levels. That thing that hangs in the back of your throat (the epiglotis) can enlarge when you have a cold or sinus issues and cause some discomfort. See a doctor if it keeps up.
or follow alt healer advice. good answer lots I was not aware of.

Answer 3

You should really see a nose, throat and ear specialist. The reason you have bad breath could be because of your teeth. I had a similar problem. I breath smelt and tasted like, well, like excrement. My asked my dentist and he said it was caused by sulphuric acid forming nodules under the tooth. He cleaned it up and I haven't had a problem since. Check it out!

Answer 4

sinuses got nothing to do with a bad breath. you could have bowel problems like indigestion, eating habits like too much spicy food in your diet.dental check-up is also important.
