Jeffiner, read back through this thread, I think someone mentioned a blood test that will indicate a marker for candida. It's something it leaves in your blood that's actually measured. There is also a lab that does stool tests enterolab and there is a questionaire link at the bottom of my post. Let me know what your score is. Mine was 295! That was enough for me. And yes, you should be avoiding all sugar, alcohol, grains it all breaks down into sugars and feeds the yeast. Here's a page for some more info Candida Page How much candistroy are you taking? If you do long term low dosage, the yeast gets used to it and it won't work any longer. Have to change treatments on occasion to keep it confused. I'm using liquid grapefruit seed extract now, getting ready to switch to candistroy. Let us know how you did on your test.
