specific culture of candida, candidiasis can present a range of different
symptoms. In order to specifically determine what sort of problem you have you
will have to do a stool, blood and urine test for your doctor to understand
what sort of problem you are actually dealing with. Blood tests with high IgA,
IgG and IgM anti-body results, high
concentration of D- Arabinitol in your urine
often mean that candida overgrowth is a problem. Extensive stool testing may
also be required to determine the precise culture of the infection.

your intestines walls and into your blood stream. Reducing the amount of
carbohydrates will force the candida to slow down its growth and allow other
friendly bacteria to catch up and keep candida in check.

sugar, various bread based foods as well as fermented foods is a good way to
keep your diet healthy. Antifungal drugs like Ny statin
or Diflucan can greatly
speed up the process of candida normalization. Caprylic Acid can also be used
to speed things along as well. One thing that you should avoid is using various
high concentration antifungal drugs that are not meant for this sort of issues.

that are important for your health. You should always consult your doctor
before you take any sort of drug no matter how weak or strong it is.
