Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 I think it is important to do both a comprehensive stool analysis to see if candida will culture in the stool, and an OAT (organic acid test) to see if there are metabolites of yeast in the urine. My son's stool culture did not grow yeast but the OAT showed metabolites.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 You could have parasites or a bacteria. I had stomach ulcers, that were cured with antibiotics. I did not test postive for H pylori, but as soon as I took the antibiotic for H pylori, my stomach ulcers were gone forever. My husband had parasites, he said Biltricide was the best thing he ever took, it cured his stomach issues. cathleen Robin wrote: > > I hear about candida a lot with abx but I have treated without abx and > yet have had what doctors say is candida for years.
