Someone is going to her fourth specialist this Friday and this time she is going armed with as much info as possible so that she can get some candida tests which means besides the culture that half the time shows yeast and half the time doesn't. So, she needs opinions in which tests to insist upon. The person she is going to meet is an M.D. (gynecologist) specializing in infectious disease. She is also thinking that she may have vulvadynia also. She doesn't know if he knows anything about that, but she will not be leaving his office with nothing again. She is also curious if supplements will affect the test and if she should stop taking all of them.
The primary test I recommend is the candida-antibody assay. It is a blood test which will analyze specific things about IgM, IgG, and IgA levels.
As for the supplements, I don't think that they will affect the test. Perhaps to the fungals, but I would take the list of my supplements into my specialist so that he can take into account any deficiencies if he does a full blood nutritional workup. If you can provide a list of your supplements and dosages, as well as how many times daily you take them and for how long, he may be able to determine if your body is having a hard time getting the nutritional balance it needs in capsule or tablet form.
That is part of the reason that I added Perfect Food and SportPharma's liquid protein without sugar to my daily regimen, to get all of the nutrients into the blood in liquid form. I have heard that it is absorbed more completely that way, but I still take all of the tablets and capsules as well.
