Suggest Remedy For Positive ANA Count And Constant Yeast Infections
My daughter is only 3 years old now but I found this out last year. Her ANA count came back positive and the doctors did blood test after blood test and haven t found anything yet. I am concerned because we have no idea what is wrong with her. She is usually either constipated or has diarrhea and complains of stomach cramps along with it. IBS is in the family and she is CONSTANTLY getting yeast infections. She takes showers because of that. I need help please.

Hi....IBS means irritable bowel syndrome. But by what you say and describe, and keeping in mind the positive ANA, I would like your daughter to get evaluated for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
I suggest you consult a pediatric gastroenterologist regarding this.
