It lists factors in your medical history that promote the growth of Candida albicans (Section A), and symptoms commonly found in individuals with yeast-足 connected illness (Section B and C). For each Yes answer in Section A, circle the Point Score in that section. Total your score and record it in the box at the end of the sections. Then move on to Sections B and C and score as directed. Filling out and scoring this questionnaire should help you and your physician evaluate the possible role of candida in contributing to your health problems. Yet it will not provide an automatic Yes or No answer.

The Grand Total Score will help you and your physician decide if your health problems are yeast-足 connected. Note: Scores in women will run higher as 7 items in the questionnaire apply exclusively to women, while only 2 apply exclusively to men. Totals: By The Numbers Yeast-足connected health problems are almost certainly present in women with scores over 180, and in men with scores over 140. Yeast-足connected health problems are probably present in women with scores over 120, and in men with scores over 90. Yeast-足connected health problems are possibly present in women with scores over 60, and in men with scores over 40. With scores of less than 60 in women and 40 in men, yeasts are less apt to cause health problems.
