The Candida + IBS Profile assesses the presence of Candida (fungal) overgrowth, antibody levels associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and autoimmune-related alterations in intestinal motility.

You may benefit from this panel if you’ve been diagnosed with or suspect intestinal permeability, exposure to mold or other fungi, autoimmune disease, or chronic inflammation.

If you're experiencing any of the common symptoms of leaky gut, microbiome imbalance, GI disorders, or abnormal digestion, you may benefit from this panel.

• 1 IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder, with worldwide prevalence rates ranging from 10-15%.

• Candida is a fungal pathogen that is healthy in normal amounts, but if allowed to overgrow, it can wreak havoc on the digestive system and create an imbalanced gut microbiome.

• Candida overgrowth can also cause infections in the bloodstream or major organs; Candidemia is one of the most common bloodstream infections in the US.2

• Fungal or bacterial overgrowth and infections can cause increased intestinal permeability, leading to chronic inflammation and conditions such as IBS.

• Helps identify IBS-diarrhea predominant (IBS-D) or IBS-mixed type (IBS-M) associated with fungal/bacterial overgrowth and determine if pathogens are at the root of your digestive symptoms.

• The panel will allow you to discover the source of your symptoms and build a personalized wellness plan with your provider to address inflammation, resolve fungal or bacterial overgrowth, and improve your lifestyle.
