my IgM, IgG, AND IgA candida antibody blood tests all came back positive.

due to symptoms and heavy abx use I've assumed I had systemic candida but I guess this confirms it?

I don't eat much sugar and I take diflucan, probiotics, and rotate garlic, olive leaf, oregano, etc. Not sure what the next treatment step will be. I won't be able to talk to my dr until next week.

I don't have any external/obvious yeast problems like vaginal or thrush, etc. but tons of other symptoms that could definitely be from candida.

Anyone else have this come back positive?
How significant is it?

thanks for any input [Smile]

I didn't come back positive.. but do have yeast problems.

One of the better things.. and you should rotate your yeast killers...

Is caprylic acid. OTC at the health food store.

While there, Pau'd arco tea is helpful too.

hi Tincup! nice to see you again [Smile]

I haven't been around much lately.

I've never tried caprylic acid. thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely check it out. I've tried pau d'arco tea several times but it always makes me nauseous
