everyone jumps on me.......for saying that bad bad bad word.............yeast
but im going to go with JaSanne.. on the fungal overgrowth, many of these meds we take cause yeast/fungal overgrowth. she siad it right, youll get both cdiff and fungus. The mayo clinic in 1999 said over 90 percent of sinus issues are fungus related. For me I think this disease in general is caused by this and the other effects are the bacteria leaking in and then food proteins. Just my thoughts please no one get mad.. some get all flustered :)
you can ask your doc for 2 to 3 weeks of nystatin (antifungal drug) use it as a test... if you feel better you have a diagnoses. if you feel better you know what you have to do... read up on it.. what it eats how to lower it etc.
if you have the cash try the great plans lab.. youll get answers here doing the OAT test (organic acid test) looks at yeast toxins in urine and bacteria toxins in urine as well many other things
as well Do there COMP stool.. looks for 73 different bacteria , 48 yeasts ( GI doc and hospital dont look at yeast) and 22 parasites. the hospital and labs the normal GI uses for tests test maybe a handful of things.. after doing this it opens your eyes.
I did this and go lots of answers to what nasty overgrowth's of bacteria I had and the yeast screwing me up .. It cost me 645.00 but to me I got answers a direction to work from .. at what to kill and lower and what to build up( good bacteria)

your GP or somone has to sign off for you to get them but , they dont need to know how to read them , you read them your self, at the back it explains all the markers, as well you can talk to the lab for 30 mins to have them advise you... if you want more time you can pay.... it has greatly helped me
I ll be happy to send anyone my sample reports or look at the ones on the web site to the right
