Are Your Health Problems and Yeast Connected?
If your answer is "yes" to any question, circle the number in the right hand column. When you've completed the questionnaire, add up the points. Your score will help you determine the possibility (or probability) that your health problems are yeast related.
NO | Score | ||
| 1. Have you taken repeated or prolonged courses of antibacterial drugs? | 4 | ||
| 2. Have you been bothered by recurrent vaginal, prostate or urinary tract infections? | 3 | ||
| 3. Do you feel "sick all over," yet the cause hasn't been found? | 2 | ||
| 4. Are you bothered by hormone disturbances, including PMS, menstrual irregularities, sexual dysfunction, sugar craving, low body temperature or fatigue? | 2 | ||
| 5. Are you unusually sensitive to tobacco smoke, perfumes, colognes and other chemical odors? | 2 | ||
| 6. Are you bothered by memory or concentration problems? Do you sometimes feel "spaced out"? | 2 | ||
| 7. Have you taken prolonged courses of prednisone or other steroids; or have you taken "the pill" for more than 3 years? | 2 | ||
| 8. Do some foods disagree with you or trigger your symptoms? | 1 | ||
| 9. Do you suffer with constipation, diarrhea, bloating or abdominal pain? | 1 | ||
| 10. Does your skin itch, tingle or burn; or is it unusually dry; or are you bothered by rashes? | 1 |
Scoring for women: If your score is 9 or more, your health problems are probably yeast-connected. If your score is 12 or more, your health problems are almost certainly yeast-connected.
Scoring for men: If your score is 7 or more, your health problems are probably yeast-connected. If your score is 10 or more, your health problems are almost certainly yeast-connected.

The role candida plays in chronic pain and disease is no exception. Yeast overgrowth disturbs your intestinal tract lining, allowing allergens and toxins into your circulation while your immune system becomes to weak to handle the influx. This combination is one of many variables that play a role in a diverse group of seemingly unrelated health problems – not just vaginal yeast infections. These range from PMS, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and interstitial cystitis, just to name a few. The Yeast Connection and Women's Health includes a more in-depth discussion of yeast's possible role in these serious and uncomfortable conditions and makes treatment recommendations.
Yeast overgrowth is certainly not the only cause of these conditions, or their only cure. However, identifying and rebalancing your body's natural relationship of bacteria and yeast often results in pain relief and significant changes in energy level and overall health. Track your symptoms with the printable Daily Symptom Chart to help you identify a possible yeast connection.
Here’s a summary of how yeast overgrowth can cause intractable weight gain and make it nearly impossible to lose weight:
- We set up an infection/antibiotic/re-infection cycle that sometimes begins at birth or in early infancy when “infections” are treated with antibiotics. Good as well as bad bacteria are killed upsetting the natural balance or organisms in the colon and contributing to yeast overgrowth.
- This sets up a vicious cycle when you take more antibiotics, use birth control pills, and are exposed to toxic chemicals in our environment and in our food that can all encourage more yeast and yeast byproducts. You can also become allergic or sensitive to these toxins.
- Leaky gut syndrome dumps toxic yeast byproducts into your blood stream, setting up a string of events such as thyroid hormone imbalance; excessive cortisol production by the adrenal glands; and autoimmune disease.
