it is tough to restrict but worth it - The Yeast Connection by dr crook is what

there are a lot out there. I just read GAPS diet, and need to do more research

on candida for my son. We are getting good die-off from the plan tannin

supplement he is taking called Viracin (removed from capsule and put in his

supplement shake), but, yes, I think I need to start eliminating fruit +/or

cutting back on yeast feeders. Lots of tummy pain, frequesnt urination. So tough

- his diet is already so limited.

Thanks,

No time to read all the messages today--so I apologize if this has been mentioned already ...but metametrix labs has a test "Dysbiosis" that is a urine test that my bosses listserve ( he's an ND, most listees are MD's & DO's ) consider to be the most accurate candida test ( stool can have false negatives as candida forms colonies, & they may not be a "colony" in the portion of stool you send for sampling..average $ of the test is ~$200 ( I say aprox, cuz our price is in CDN funds ..so may be different) hth, gisele

well.... I have an integrative doc in nyc -thanks to Jodi

but my 1st said he " didn't want to jump on the yeast band wagon " and my 3rd GI

(open to SCd) I thought said there weren't any tests so this may be tough - i'd

print out that yeast info that Jodi posted the other day and bring it but call

first and make sure they're open to SCD yeast everything by phone - as my 2nd GI

gave me something that " peopel with 8 feet of intestine can handle " but guess

what illegal and I knew i shouldn't but thought let me listen and was NEVER so

sick!!! SO... ask by phone 1st - to save grief! sorry to hear your doc left

Eileen,

You are talking about normal Quest testing that you did your stool tests?

Right? BTW- if the values were crazy on Quest, than you really have challenging

Candida issues (not that I am trying to scare you) It's just their numbers are

different than the integrative labs and their incubation techniques are not as

great either.

You can test for Candida in blood but recently NY State made certain Candida

antibody testing illegal. Thank you- this will make things that much easier NY!

(ARGH!)

You had your testing done a while ago so I think you had the whole thing done

besides the integrative labs and urine dysbiosis huh?

Hope this clears up any confusion.
