Systemic (whole body) yeast infections are extremely difficult to diagnose.

A quote from William Crook, M.D., author of the book, "The Yeast Connection":

"While tests are available, diagnosis is usually accomplished through a detailed review of the patient's medical history and by a direct response to a specific treatment. Since Candida albicans is found benignly over much of the body, laboratory testing for Candida presence is of little clinical value. The important tests that are available measure the amount of antigens present in the patient's blood serum. The level of antibody corresponds to the level of yeast present."

One such test is Candida albicans antibody Titer Test (CAATT).

Since many medical doctors do not even suspect a yeast infection they do not perform the test. Even worse, many doctors do not even believe that there is such a condition.

Therefore, doctors look for other causes. Patients are most often misdiagnosed with some other medical problem.

Self Diagnosis

Most people who suffer with a systemic yeast infection either find out for themselves through their own research or never find out at all.

Here Are Some of the Symptoms

• Recurrent vaginal yeast infections

• Extreme fatigue

• Problems concentrating and/or remembering

• Dark circles under the eyes

• Chronic sinus problems and headaches including migraines

• Symptoms that resemble the flu such as pain in the joints and muscles

• Depression

• Irritability

• Anxiety

• Panic attacks

• Chronic athlete's foot

• Felling as if you are in a fog - mentally unclear

• Night Sweats

• Athlete's foot, ringworm, "jock itch" or other chronic fungus infections of the skin or nails that have been severe or persistent

The list goes on. These are only some of the symptoms. The number of systems associated with a systemic yeast infection is part of the reason that it is so hard to diagnose.

There are contributing factors that make it more likely that you could have a systemic yeast infection.

Here are some examples:

• Use of antibiotics. Antibiotics kill both the bad bacteria and the good. If you have taken antibiotics 4 or more times in a 1-year span or have used them frequently throughout your lifetime you are at an increased risk of yeast infections.

• Use of birth control pills. If you have taken birth control pills for more than 2 years you are at an increased risk of yeast infections.

For a true diagnosis my suggestion is to find an N.D., a Naturopathic Doctor. Tell him/her that you suspect a systemic yeast infection. In my opinion Naturopathic Doctors are much more likely to find an underlying cause like a yeast infection. N.D.s treat the whole person instead of a symptom.

I personally suffer from a systemic yeast infection and have found a few treatments that work.
