Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Jackie, Were you on a low carb diet at the time, and were you having symptoms at the time, or were you symptom free when you took test? > > I had one and mine tested negative.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I (and my family) had these tests done while I was living in my home that contained Stachy and all of our tests came back negative. But I was ill and my daughter was ill from the mold. It doesn't hurt to have the tests done. I have been told that just because the tests came back negative doesn't mean that you are not being harmed by the mold. I had the antibody test done in 2004. bell > > Are the antibody tests for mold worth taking? > > Would they show that mold is making you sick, and if they come up > negative would that mean it's not from mold? > > I'm hearing conflicting things about these tests. > > Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
