Candida Antibodies, IgA, ELISA

This test measures IgA antibodies, which are specific proteins your immune system creates in response to Candida, a common type of yeast. It helps show if your body is mounting an immune reaction to this yeast, which often lives in the digestive tract or other mucous membranes. This information can help evaluate if certain symptoms are related to yeast exposure. However, this test cannot diagnose an active infection on its own because many healthy people have these antibodies due to the normal presence of yeast in the body.
