That pretty much matches my experience of getting candida in the first place. Bowel/tummy issues all my childhood and early adulthood (probably a result of not being breast fed and getting that good flora passed on to me - my guess). And then about 15 rounds of abx before age 12 (and plenty more after that), and just one thing after another since then, seemingly unrelated. I also went to each various specialst to try and make sense of the myriad symptoms I was experiencing, but it was me finally who put 2 and 2 together, as each test kept coming back normal. In 2000 I was finally so sick I could barely walk 20 feet to the copy machine. I soooo wanted to go out on disability, but no one could agree what was wrong with me, so I stuck it, some days just a vapid, physical shell at my desk. TG those days are history!
