Hi,

Could anyone please tell me the name of the oral swab test where I can see what types of anaerobic bacteria are in overgrowth in my mouth? One user from Argentina got it done but shes not active anymore. Maybe I'll just go to the GP and ask again, but I have a feeling they'll just give me another candida test...

It'll be good to know if it's normal anaerobic overgrowth or gram-negative anaerobic overgrowth.

Thanks

Is candida test expensive? Is it a blood test?

It's free in Australia. They just dab your tongue with a swab and send it off to the lab. Not a blood test.
