If you want to do testing, I recommend these following 3 tests:
GI Stool Effects, Microbial - http://www.metametrix.com/test-menu/profiles/gastrointestinal-function/gi-eff...

Candida Immune Complex and Antibodies - http://www.genovadiagnostics.com/index.php?option=com_gpanel&Itemid=2&task=vi...

Organic Acid Test for candida metabolites - http://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/home/eng/full_oat.asp


Doing 2 or 3 tests, combined with signs and symptoms, health history, and history of antibiotic use is the best to determine diagnosis through testing. Research shows that antibiotic use alone will create systemic fungal candida within 22-55 hours.
