Re: Candida Overgrowth Diagnosis?

I guess I'm having a hard time trying to understand what the difference is between 'candidiasis' and 'candida' and is candida considered a 'good thing' when it's under control and a 'bad thing' when it overgrown and grown into areas it has no place being?

Is candidansis the same as fungal infection or is a fungal infection the final step in candidiasis? Is guess the terms are confusing to me. Not that it's that important, but if I go by the stool analysis I have ZERO candida albicans and they are supposed to be present in the colon aren't they?

Yet all the 'symptoms' tests I've done online show I probably have candida overgrowth. So I don't know what to do at this point about it. Maybe just put it on the backburner and continue with my focus on my adrenals and thyroid. Then again, I am taking the supplements for adrenals, hormones and thyroid BASED ON SYMPTOMS so addressing what *might* be candida overgrowth because of symptoms seems to me to be just a valid.

I don't care to ask all this on the Candida Forum , because I already trust your advice, HV, and I don't know those peeps over there or whether they know anything or not! Heh.

Thanks again.
