Thank you for the information... I guess I'm just going to have to keep on researching and researching until I find an answer. Have you heard of the new IBS blood test being promoted by Prometheus Labs in CA? After being told I had IBS for years, this one blood test now says I do not. Also, multiple drs. have told me I have candidiasis - thrush, leaky gut, etc.... Then there are the alternative "people" like Doug Kaufman, Dr. Janet Maccaro, Dr. Don Colbert and even Jordan Rubin who all support the candida theory - as do most HFS trained personnel/clinicans/naturopaths. So, what am I to believe? This weekend, out of pure depression, I ate a chocolate bar and did drink one Sprite -within 24 hours I have thrush and other related intestinal symptoms. GI doctor says IBS - general practitioner (who did the IBS blood test) - says candida. "What's a mother to do?" I'll check out the website listed and thank you again...Dorothy
