      Thanks.It's terrible.I know I have had candida overgrowth in the past as well.I do have a slight oral thrush.I was recommended VSL#3 probiotic from a friend.I am going to give it a try.The taste in my mouth is gross and annoying...Glad you don't experience it 😊

      Hi Kelly, how did you find out that you had candida overgrowth?

      See a GI on testing for silent reflux.

      Hi there.I was told a few years ago through a stool sample and ultrasound.I have seen a GI and he told me I have acid reflux as well.I was suppose to get a endoscopy but was to expensive at the time even with insurance.I need to get one.

      Hi Kelly, I was had stool test but never a mention of candida overgrowth. My ENT diagnosed me with acid reflux gerd last year but this year GI said I don't have it from a bravo test. All my blood results come back fine. Endoscopy/colonoscopy biospy came back fine.

      I'm still following up and going to get another test next week.

      I have a hiatus hernia and IBS-C.

      we'll see.

      I hope you will find your cause

      How was the endoscopy?For some reason I am petrified of having that test.What are your symptoms to have had these tests?I go through cycles of bad belly pain,bloating and gas for weeks at a time.

    I don't get a bad taste so much but more of a sore/burning feeling in my mouth.
