Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 What doctor are you seeing thats doing these test for you? I remember you saw Dr zolnoun so I thought maybe the Dr would be near me.... Subject: candida glabrataTo: VulvarDisorders Date: Saturday, September 6, 2008, 9:52 AM Hey y'all--I've got a question. I've tested positive for candidaglabrata in my gut and rectum. Everything I read says that it is notsusceptible to diflucan and the "azoles" but the sensitivity test thatwas done on my culture shows that my strain IS susceptible to bothdiflucan and nizoral. I was just wondering if anyone knows if onlySOME strains of glabrata are resistant? I'm just a little confused.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Lee Ann-- dr. Zolnoun definitely did not order these tests for me. I had them done in land before I moved here. I also see Dr. Pizzino in Raleigh and she is currently my primary care doc. She is an integrative physician and I bet she would do these tests for you. It takes MONTHS to get in with her, though. > > From: femifesto > Subject: candida glabrata > To: VulvarDisorders > Date: Saturday, September 6, 2008, 9:52 AM > > > > > > > Hey y'all--I've got a question.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yea I knew Dr Z didnt do it.. Month waits is the story of my life! I'm going to try my primary Dr here in Mt Pleasnt and see what she thinks. But you can send me the contact info for your primary in Raleigh if you have the time. Also what kinda test has she done and are you getting any releif? Did they find the yeast through a culture?
