About Us
Message From Our Founder
As a mother of a child with Autism, I spent countless hours researching ways to understand better what Autism is and what creates it. Refusing to believe that therapy is the only option, I invested thousands of dollars and traveled hundreds of miles to bring my son to every kind of doctor you can think of for tests and treatments-tests and treatments a normal Pediatrician would never suggest or offer. Sending my son's blood samples and body fluids to several different labs, waiting weeks, even months for results that were impossible to decipher, overwhelming, and that only a Physician could break down into layman's terms for me.
The result: My son had severe food allergies & needed specific supplements and vitamins in which he had deficiencies. With these added supplements and major changes to his diet, I saw a change. He was looking at me, he was calmer, sleeping through the night, and progressing in his therapies.
I knew of other mothers whose children were also diagnosed with Autism but were listening to their doctors-giving their children prescription medications and feeding their children with unhealthy food. I wanted to help them but knew I couldn't suggest my route because it was costly and tiring.

Why Our Lab
What causes autism?
- Researchers have found a connection between autism and genetics, but a growing number of studies have found that environmental issues can also be a culprit.
- The link between gastrointestinal problems and autism has become a major study of interest. It is now well known that between 30% and 50% of individuals with autism experience significant gastrointestinal problems.
We want to help make a difference. Candü brings attainable testing for your little ones without leaving your home.
How We Help
- With Candü, our at home test kits can break down and simplify your child’s supplemental and dietary needs reducing gastrointestinal issues, behavior, sleep issues, and improving brain development and gut function.
- We made the process easy: Create a profile online through our website, receive a kit in the mail, collect fluids samples, ship back to our laboratory using our self-addressed return label, and receive results within a few weeks.
- When you receive the results they will be broken down in a step by step guide allowing you to better understand deficiencies and allergies that your child might have, with suggestions on diet and supplements to better understand your child’s needs.
Experience the Difference
Trying to locate an Alternative Medicine Doctor that can provide testing specified to those on the Spectrum can be costly and at times logistically difficult. We wanted to create an affordable and attainable option so everyone can help their child, because after all children are the future.
