How do I know if yeast is a problem for me other than how women can usually tell?
Is there a test for systemic yeast?

I just know. I can feel my digestion change. I feel more gassy, almost like a bubbling feeling in my intestines. I will sometimes get a vag. yeast infection. My tongue gets whiter, my eye sight is blurrier, my stomach feels like it has a loaf of bread in it. After you have it a while, you can just kind of tell

Intestinal yeasts thrive on disaccharides like lactose, and I think they especially love high fructose corn syrup...when foods containing these things are ingested, the yeast will produce gas and the system gi system will react in some noteable way...It's easy to find foods with one or the other of these.

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

In addition, do an inventory of heavy metal exposure
(Vaccines, dental amalgams, contaminated ground water, make up, Tattoos, fish intake)
for some reason yeasts like heavy metals...
or the heavy metal depresses the mucosal immune response to yeast...

or the body allows the yeast due to the fact that the yeast are likely less harmful overall than the metals - ie. the yeast may be a protective measure.

the appearance of the tongue & gums is also a great dx tool.
There may be photos somewhere, but if the tongue has a milky coating look that could be just on sign of a yeast issue.
