The second way to (only) guess diagnosis, is to have characteristic summary of symptoms: oral thrush, craving for sugar, symptoms worsen after sugary meal, mood swings, rectal itching. Other common but non-characteristic symptoms are bloating, constipation or diarrhea. Stool may be whitish or with white or black clumps of yeasts of pepper to pea size.
The third (but the first to try) thing which speaks for candida, are symptoms which improve in first days, then get WORSE, due to massive candida dying, and then improve again.
