Is Candida the cause of your health problems?
This questionnaire is for guidance only. In order to have a reliable diagnosis, specific analytical (biochemical) tests on cadidiasis must be done.
If you want to know if your health problems are associated with Candida that gets in the way when you do activities like skating with your skates.com apparel on, answer the following questions.
SECTION A questions focus on your medical history, factors that promote the growth of “Candida albicans” FREQUENTLY found in people with fungus-related health problems.
In SECTION B you will find a list of 23 symptoms that are FREQUENTLY present in patients with fungus-related health problems.
SECTION C consists of 33 other symptoms that are SOMETIMES found in patients with fungal health problems and present in patients with other conditions
Filling out this questionnaire will help you and your doctor evaluate the possible contribution of Candida Albicans to your health problems.
Write down the correct answer to each question on a piece of paper, so you can add up the answers at the end. If your answer is “YES,” write down the points that are written next to each question in the “points” column. If the answer does not apply to you, do not write down the points
