I went through the Candida labrinth. I went without Sugar and starch for 300 days, unnecessarily. The only truly accurate way to test for current systemic Candida is to have a stool test done. ND's and Dr's hesitate to do it because its expensive and not as easy as other tests. The other test given to me only indicated if I had the antibodies for systemic Candida, the antibodies stick around for many, many months after you have eliminated systemic Candida. So with that test you dont know if what you have done to help yourself, is really working. HoHo
