Candida antigen/ antibody panel

[Guest guest]

I recently tested my son for a Candida Antigen/ Antibody Panel (LabCorp). He

has been taking Zithromax once a week for a half year to treat PANDAS and had a

few episodes of yeast flare-up judged from his seemingly uncontrollable laughter

on some days. Here is his test result:

- Candida Antigen Negative (reference: negative)

- Candida Antibodies IgG <30 (reference: 0 - 29)

- Candida Antibodies IgM <10 (reference: 0 - 9)

- Candida Antibodies IgA 29 High (reference: 0 - 9)

What puzzles me is that while no Candida Antigen is detected, he is high in

Candida antibodies IgA. Since both IgG and IgM are within the reference range,

his elevated IgA might just indicate a more superficial Candida infection, and

elevated IgA alone cannot be used to suggest systemic candidiasis, yes?

Elevated IgA might till reflect yeast infection in mucosal membrane. In this

case, will you treat with pharmaceutical drugs such as Nystatin, Diflucan, or

with probiotics and enzymes, and/or rotation of natural anti-fungals such as

caprylic acid, pau d'arco, oregano oil, garlic...? What probiotics products can

effectively treat yeast infections? My son can not tolerate Saccharomyces

boulardii. I concern that anti-fungal drugs are hard on the liver. Has anyone

had a good result from using ThreeLac?

Thanks for any advice or comments.
