You mean an overgrowth of intestinal yeast? That is tricky, as tests are unreliable and most doctors don't consider candidiasis a legitimate condition unless you're also HIV/AIDS. So we use symptoms to indicate that we're dealing with an overgrowth of candida.

If you had thrush, then you likely had an overgrowth of intestinal yeast as well.

Unfortunately, yeast overgrowth goes along with having digestive disorders and a disturbed gut ecology and a compromised or overwhelmed immune system (or are on immuno-suppressant medications). So all of us here are dealing with a yeast overgrowth to some degree until we get our gut ecology balanced again and have healed our intestinal tract, and are no longer on immuno-suppressant meds.

Knowing whether it's time to adjust your foods to eliminate high levels of yeast or take an antifungal is connected to whether you're experiencing yeast-related symptoms.

Hey Kim, I guess I'm just realizing this. How do you know if you haveintestinal yeast?Have been treated for thrush when I was on pred all the time pre-SCD.Had cultures done but nobody (MD) has ever mentioned intestinal yeast.I wondered if it was somehow worse for those of us in humid areas--nooffensive meant to anyone.Thanks,Debbie 40 cd

Hi

Antithyroid Perixidase Antibodies TPO

Thyroglobulin Antibodies TbAb

You never want to leave it to long to get treatment for your thyroid if there is something wrong with it. It will damage your adrenals. It is very important for thyroid hormone to know what your ferritin level is.

I am not at this time, however my internist said it was very sluggish. On my blood test results what would be the indicator of the antibodies? I have a file with all my test results, so it helps me make my own decisions sometimes.Thanks,
