Re: Giardia? SIBO? Strongyloides? candida?

Well my doc ran an in-house giardia Antigen test, which came up negative.

The symptoms, constipation, gas, clearish or particulate-infused watery diarrhea following even the best movements has been persistant however I had been bad and ate some dairy(chocolate, burger buns) and some corn syrup(ketchup),and I was not VIOLENTLY ill but the discomfort and bowel problems persisted. I am not really sure what has happened here, the doctors are ordering a colonoscopy, but perhaps im left with a post-infectious malabsorbtion syndrome that is so typical of giardia. I think it was giardia,and they scarred up my duodenum nice and good creating lots of long term lasting problems in conjunction with the already characteristic IBS/cd/ that I suspect to have had. I will go in for my colonoscopy, and after that if nothing shows up, they will have to really search for cryptosporidium or other more obscure(yet persistent) micro-organisms. Until then I will keep eating my soy yogurt and taking my Raw Fiber

p.s. my internist did not think the metametrix was necessary... can I order without them?

Could this still be yeast?
