Advice about the estero lab yeast test
Is the yeast test recommended for those who have chrohn's only or is it an important one for those of us with mc to see if we have a problem with it?
MC diagnosed 2007
Many of us are sensitive to yeast when we're reacting, but IMO this is associated with the leaky gut syndrome (because the leaky gut syndrome makes us much more vulnerable to the development of a yeast overgrowth (Candida albicans). IOW, IMO a positive result for yeast on the EnteroLab test is an indication of a yeast overgrowth, rather than a permanent sensitivity to baker's yeast, per se. The reason for my opinion is based on the fact that virtually everyone on this board who tests positive for yeast sensitivity, no longer shows symptoms to yeast after their MC symptoms are controlled, and their leaky gut issues and/or yeast overgrowth are resolved.
That said, a sensitivity to yeast is real, but it typically resolves completely, after our MC is in remission. The yeast test would probably be the most useful for those of us who eat baked products, and/or those who suspect mast cell issues (because yeasts, molds, and fungi promote the production of histamine).

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Hi Joan,
The EnteroLab test is not for Candida antibodies, it's to detect antibodies for baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. All of the information about Candida in my previous post is just my opinion, based on the experience of many members here.
There's no reason to consider a treatment unless you actually have the symptoms of a yeast overgrowth, or you've been diagnosed with one (by a naturopath, since most allopathic doctors don't recognize the existence of yeast overgrowth as a legitimate issue).
