If it is yeast - There is a gastro test for stomach bacteria which has yeast as part of it. I had yeast a few times and there is a pill I took which cleared it dont remmeber the name for sure,  clotrimasol or one of similar,  women take the same for vaginal yeast. Also, yeast eats sugar so together with supplements stay away from sugary foods and fruits and white bread for a while.

Oh hell yeah!  My stomach rumbled and groaned and squeaked and gurgled for the entire time i was on trx, and still continues to from time to time.  You could hear it from the next room.  Also constant nausea, and frequent -- almost constant -- diarrhea.  Better now, although still recurring from time to time.  And a friend of mine said he had that metallic taste in his mouth for the entire 48 weeks as well, but it went away.  He was so excited to be able to taste his food again!  As far as the yeast thing goes, it makes sense that the toxins we take would kill of all the good bacteria in the colon, so i take probiotics and eat live organic yogurt or kefir to try to keep Candida Albicans at bay, but i'm not sure how you know, or find out, if you really have it.  Does anyone know?
