Candida lambica

Candida lambica is a yeast that can be detected in the gastrointestinal tract and on mucosal surfaces. Its presence may sometimes reflect exposure from the dog’s diet or environment, or temporary passage through the gut. Higher levels may suggest that Candida lambica is not only passing through, but that the gut environment has shifted in a way that allows this yeast to remain more noticeable. This may happen when the normal balance between bacteria and fungi is disrupted. Higher levels may be seen together with altered stool quality, gas, mild digestive changes, or signs that an exposure related yeast is becoming more established in the gut environment. Candida lambica levels can help show whether a yeast linked to diet or environmental exposure is becoming part of a broader fungal pattern.
