One small caveat: stool tests for candida are unreliable; antibody tests are
much more accurate. Here is an excerpt from an article at
http://www.antibodyassay.com/syncandida.htm :
<<Stool examination for candida had no positive concordance with candida
immune complexes, only 18% of the patients with a positive candida had
candida hyphae demonstrable in their stool, and 15% with no immune complexes
also had demonstrable hyphae in their stool.>>
You might want to visit the home page, http://www.antibodyassay.com , for
Antibody Assay Laboratories. The lab was recommended to me; I may fork over
the money to have a couple of candida-related tests done there.
