Yeast Test for Aribinose

[Guest guest]

I just had a 3 month follow up yeast/OATS test done and was wondering if anyone

might be able to comment on their past experiences in testing for yeast. I

realize some feel that the OATS test perhaps gave false negatives because there

are so many types of yeast perhaps the test doesn't pick up a by-product

produced by that strain, but wondering if anyone feels it gives false positives?

For my daughter who has a real problem with yeast, it seems to be accurate. The

telling value for her is aribinose. I was unsuccessful in verifying from

anywhere besides GP that this truly is believed to be the result of yeast

by-product, but would be interested to know if anyone has seen this somewhere

else. For my daughter, her initial test was at a level of 125, with a max range

of 47. Her 3 month check up was 93. Some of this I am sure is due to her

having taken a round of antibiotics before the follow up test, however it was

unavoidable due to the bronchitis. I know to not to expect it to go away over

night, but was wondering what kind of drops others saw and in what time frame?

Test score is actually reflective of her behavior, better, but still right there

waiting to kick in the door. With another school break next Thursday, I'm going

to use GSE.

Thanks,
