Brief Answer:
Culture of feces for candida advised...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I have gone through your stool tests and overall, I find them perfectly XXXXXXX

The RBC means red blood cells which are seen up to 1 per field; and that is perfectly normal in a stool test. They are indicative for bleeding in your GI tract. As long as fecal occult blood test resulted negative, there is no bleeding in your GI tract.

WBC means white blood cells which is indicative for infection. It was found up to 2 per field at your test report, and that is perfectly normal too. There is no bowel infection.

I have noted that there is presence of undigested foods and yeast cells, indicative for possible candida infection of GI tract.

I advise to run culture of feces for candida to finalize the diagnosis and start proper treatment.

Meanwhile, you can use probiotics to stabilize your intestinal flora.

Let me know if I can be of further help!

Brief Answer:
Itching,burning skin/anal area,bloating,etc.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX

Thank you for your additional queries.

In fact, candida infection of bowels (CIOB) is also associated with itching and burning in your anal area. Bloating and maldigestion are also associated with CIOB.

Examination of stool for ova/parasites is also advised. Sometimes, intestinal parasitic infections are also associated with allergic reaction (itching skin).

Hope it answered to your queries!
