in my post about the Bio Impedance I may have mentioned the things coming up in the results

the BIA did indicate bacteria, virus, fungus, parasites, pathogens. the first assessment it also indicated for candida but i have managed to get that off the list.
the Colostrum i am taking is helping to eradicate these unwanted guests from my digestion

from what i know, not all of the bacterias, virus's, fungai etc will show up in blood or poop tests. If the BIA is as good as I think it is then i am pretty happy to have this means of assessment

My test was technically negative, but I saw some readings seemed somewhat high/near the cut-off. But I guess they take an average...

When I initially started having problems about 2 years ago my gastro dr. had me do a hydrogen breath test and I tested positive. He then put me on xifaxan for 2 weeks along with the probiotic Florastor. I was good for about a year and then the d started up again. I went back on the xifaxan but did not get better. Another long story short - I was just recently diagnosed with LC.

I don't know if there is any connection between the 2 but it would be interesting to know if there is.
