What this candida measures
This candida quiz estimates self-reported candida yeast overgrowth worry and symptom frequency signals patterns across four domains. Twenty-two original frequency items group into oral thrush, gut bloating, skin rash, diet fixation. Each item also maps to a fear-of-intimacy stack layer. A second results chart inspired by FOIS-style intimacy avoidance themes from Descutner and Thelen (1991), adapted to this topic. Your candida symptom index averages these patterns into a 0 to 100 score where higher numbers mean more endorsed candida yeast overgrowth worry and symptom frequency signals on this screener, not a clinical diagnosis.
