Candida lipolytica

Candida lipolytica is a yeast that can be detected in the gastrointestinal tract and on mucosal surfaces. This yeast is known for its ability to use and break down lipids, meaning fats and fat like substances. Higher levels may suggest that the gut environment is favourable for Candida lipolytica, especially in connection with fat rich or lipid influenced conditions in the gut. This may be relevant when dietary fat, fat digestion, or the balance between bacteria and fungi affects the intestinal environment. Higher levels may be seen together with digestive changes such as altered stool quality, softer or stronger smelling stool, gas, abdominal discomfort, or patterns linked to fat digestion and gut balance. Candida lipolytica levels can help show whether fat related conditions in the gut may be influencing the dog’s fungal profile.
