Systemic Candida Blood Work

hey everyone......I recently found out I have a gluten intolerance.For many years I thought I had candida because of mu symptoms and the fact that I grew up sick all the time and literally consumed antibiotics sometimes every month/every other, for years then took Minocycline for 4 years straight for acne.

I recently went to the Dr to have my blood drawn to check for candida antibodies and it was negative they also left my blood in some kind of culture to see if candida feed or grow over a 2 week period.They said it was negative for that as well.

IS THIS TESTING ACCURATE? SHOULD IT REALLY HAVE SHOWN SOMETHING? I DONT KNOW WHEN TO DOUBT PHYSICIANS AND THERE TESTS ANYMORE because I am always hearing that tons of tests yields false positives and negatives :unsure: ????/ Like thyroid tests sometimes do

I WOULD LOVE TO THINK IT IS REAL IT WOULD BE A DELIGHT TO KNOW I DONT SUFFER FROM CANDIDA!!!!!

      Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins in the U.S. as a part of USDA policy. Gluten free facsimile products are not fortified. There is no government mandate for such. When you remove wheat flour by going gluten free, you may be removing a significant source of vitamins.

      Okay.  That doesn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.
