Environmental Molds

[Guest guest]

How likely is it that inhaling mold spores can cause a systemic yeast

infection?

At one of my doctor visits she told me I have high amylase levels,

normal lipase levels..but " it's something we only usually see in

alcoholics " , she tells me. Well, I don't drink. I do have a blockage

in my upper right colon which I had read can cause that reaction. I

also was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia this year. I have been taking

acidophilus off and on for years now-at first I had no idea WHY they

made me so darned hungry-now I know why-the die off effect.

Acidophilus is the ONLY thing that makes me feel better. I told my

doctor that-and asked her why it makes me feel so much better, but

received no response, other than to keep taking it if it makes me

feel better. Just for 'fun'-I asked her WHY IT MADE ME SO HUNGRY?? (I

already had found out the answer myself by then)She also could not

give me an answer. I also told her it takes away my heartburn-almost

completely-even if I eat acidic foods, my heartburn isn't as bad, or

isn't there at all.

The reason for my question is because I am not the only one

experiencing symptoms, which began as upset stomach, irritable bowels

with everything I ate...which they have tried to tell me that it is

probably IBS repeatedly, I came back with IBS IS NOT CONTAGIOUS-and

we-my husband, my kids-all have tummy problems/same symptoms. We use

a water filter, but have not had our water checked yet. We began

drinking nothing but bottled water instead with no improvement. The

doctor gave my daughter a stool test(I have never had one btw), and

found blasocystitis, which is already in the intestines but when

found in large amounts can cause symptoms. So, we were all prescribed

with those antibiotics-but again it did not help at all.

Does anyone know what test I should request the doctor to perform?
