If you have spent any time researching Candida online, you have no doubt stumbled across the popular saliva test for Candida.

In this test you are to spit into a glass of room temperature water upon waking and let it sit for thirty minutes. Basically, if you see strings coming from your saliva sitting on top, specs floating in the water or cloudy globs sitting at the bottom then you most likely have a Candida problem.

Some sites claim that 85% of people have a Candida problem which can be proven with this Saliva test. It’s important to note that these sites are also trying to sell some supplement that will get rid of Candida for you. Besides that, I have a several problems with the validity of the Candida saliva test.
