Why take the Gut Health Assessment?
Your gut affects far more than digestion. It influences your energy, immune system, hormones, even your moods and even how clearly you think.
But when something goes wrong, the symptoms aren’t always obvious.
But here’s the problem:
Most people guess what’s wrong. They try random diets, food eliminations, probiotics, or supplements… and get nowhere. I’ve seen this for years in my clinic. This quick assessment helps cut through the confusion. In just a few minutes, you’ll get a clearer picture of what your body is trying to tell you.

Created by Eric Bakker N.D.
Candida.com was created by Eric Bakker, N.D., a New Zealand naturopath with a lifetime of gut health clinical experience. Since its creation, this web site has provided practical, evidence-based information on Candida and fungal overgrowth, gut health, digestion, nutrition, and natural approaches to supporting better health.
Today, Candida.com has grown into a broader Gut Health Library, bringing together Eric’s extensive clinical experience and educational resources on Candida, SIBO, IBS, leaky gut, the gut microbiome, diet and nutrition, testing, natural therapies, recipes, and other areas of digestive health.
