Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 hey it is me again. Of course I am always talking about a gross topic like stool and yeast! LOL Anyway, here is my delema. I went to the doc today. I REALLY tried to get her to give me long term Nyastin.. NO LUCK. IN FACT I told her i have a bacterial vag. infection, which was confirmed by a swab test via GYN. She told me, do some alternatives, and do not use the antibiotic creme. I have been dealing with this 'bact. infection for over 1 month, trying to 'CURE it myself " > Anyway, I am taking the vag. antibiotic. So here is my question: She wants me to send my stool(GROSS), to the Great Smokies Lab " , to test for yeast. This test is $179.00!!! I KNOW I have a yeast problem(systemic). I also did this test from them 3 yrs ago, but never followed up with my doc. to see results. Soooo, question, should I send my stool to this great smokies???? OR am I wasting my money and time??? Am I getting scammed? any advice would be great, or if anyone else did this test??? I know alot of alternative docs use the great smokies lab. BUT at the same time, I don't want to feel like I am being scammed. thank u TERRY hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Stool sample can be done in a doc's office and sent to a lab covered by your insurance.
