Overview
Candida is a type of naturally occurring yeast or fungus which resides in the GI tract. Normally, the body's immune system and other bacteria keep candida growth in check. Most people already have an allergy to candida, but it does not cause any health concerns unless excessive candida growth occurs. Overgrowth of candida can result when a person is taking antibiotics, has a condition that weakens their immune system, experiences chronic stress, or eats a diet high in carbohydrates.
Excessive candida growth can lead the body to develop an allergic response or worsen a pre-existing allergy. Once an allergy has developed, a person may have difficulty eating or drinking products that contain yeast. Products that often contain yeast include bread, baked goods, beer, wine, vinegar, pickled foods, soup stock, cheese, dried fruits, yogurt, soy, miso, and yogurt. Symptoms of candida allergy can develop at any time and may be difficult to diagnose because they are common to other illnesses.
An allergy to Candida Albicans (Fungus) triggers a reaction in an individual's immune system. The body views certain substances as toxic and produces IgE antibodies to these contaminants. These antibodies cause histamine to be released, which will cause the symptoms of an allergic reaction.
Mold sensitization is also a major risk factor for developing upper and lower respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis (aka hay fever) and allergic asthma.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Establishing a diagnosis of an allergy to Candida Albicans (Fungus)
- Identifying allergens responsible for allergic disease and/or anaphylactic episode
- To confirm sensitization prior to beginning immunotherapy
Common signs or symptoms of Candida Albicans (Fungus) allergy may include the following:
- Hives or skin rashes
- Itching/swelling
- Severe dizziness
- Trouble breathing
- Fast heartbeat
A severe, possibly life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis may occur in some cases. An anaphylactic response requires immediate medical attention. Signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis may include:
- Rapid or increased pulse
- Swollen throat or lump, making it difficult to breathe
- Low blood pressure
- Extreme dizziness or loss of consciousness
Specific IgE measures the concentration of circulating allergen specific IgE for micro-organism allergen Candida Albicans (Fungus).
This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Detection of IgE antibodies indicates an increased likelihood of allergy to Candida Albicans (Fungus) that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not due to Candida Albicans (Fungus) allergies and other differential diagnoses must be considered.
