The Grand Total Score will help you + your physician decide if your health problems are yeast-related. Scores in women will run higher as 7 items in the questionnaire apply exclusively to women, while only 2 apply exclusively to men.
Severe yeast-related health problems are almost certainly present in women with scores over 180, + in men with scores over 140.
Serious yeast-related health problems are probably present in women with scores over 120 + in men with scores over 90.
Moderate yeast-related health problems are possibly present in women with scores over 60 + in men with scores over 40.
With scores of less than 60 in women + 40 in men, yeasts are less apt to cause health problems + other causes of your symptoms should be investigated.
