Ok so One test on May 2nd said few yeast cells (this probably was from a smear not a culture). Then you had a test (ova and parasite test) on April 10th, that said E. histolytica was detected and you took your antibiotics for this. Then you had a test that was a culture that said non candida albicans resistant to all antibiotics , when was that done? I assume was a culture or they wouldn't know that it was resistant to antibiotics. Also, then you had a negative test (ova and parasite or O&P) for E. histolytica that was negative when was that? Did you have the yeast culture that day or was that the day you had the non-Candida albicans positive? I'm trying to figure out whether you are clear of yeast or not?
thanks,

Ok I will try to clear things up :)
the most recent stool test done on the 2nd of May was a stool analysis which as I understand can't detect Candida. So in that stool analysis I had few yeast cells, without saying if it is candida or not. That was all.
The Candida stool culture was done on the 10th of April. and I got my results for this yesterday.I did not take any treatment for this.
From my stool analysis done also on the 10th of April, E. Histolytica was detected and I started on the 17th of April the drugs for this. And as my stool analysis of yesterday didn't not detect any Cyst or parasite this means that E.Hystolica is gone right? but I have to do another one in a week to be sure I think.
Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
Let me ask again, because it doesn't matter whether it is Candida albicans or non albicans in the stool really . What matters is that your normal flora has been disrupted by yeast. A few yeast is normal so it is only when you have a predominance that it is abnormal. So the stool that you had most recently had few yeast C. albicans or non albicans? It sounds from your post that you had no E. histo, and few yeast on the 17th of April and the candida non albicans was done on the 10th (before the one on the 17th) so it should have been gone or back to normal right? I don't know what a B2 level is. I haven't done flow cytometry.

10 days after taking the Faladazole for E.Histolica, my stool analysis, that I have done yesterday, were normal with no parasites detected only few yeast cells were detected.
The candida stool culture was done on the 10th of April. So normally now the E.Histolica is treated since I do not have it in my stools. But i will retest in a week. If it has been cured than my only problem now is The Candida non-albican and off course all the other symptoms I have :s
Ok. so it sounds like the first antibiotic caused the yeast to predominate. But then by april 17th you only had few yeast cells and the rest normal bacterial flora? If so then you don't really have a big problem. That is good you are not constipated either. I misunderstood you the that the recent stool culture had shown the pure culure (no other bacteria present) of yeast. Is this correct then? If so then I think you are on your way to healing and that you may not need the GI doctor. You still should recheck the stool again in about 10 days to look for yeast and also for E. histolytica. If things are still good then I would probably follow up with a general practice doctor or an infectious disease doctor instead just to make sure you have covered your bases with the E. histo and you might as well get the immunoglobulin test done so you feel like did everything. The family practice doctor can check your tongue too or even a dentist if you are going for a cleaning.
The only reason I thought you should go to the GI doc was I thought you still had the pure culture of yeast. But also if you still want to see the GI doc because of your lack of appetite and weight loss you could go anyway. But I'm pretty sure it is caused by the antibiotics and /or the E. histo. But it won't hurt to take the probiotics and/or yogurt for about a month and see how it goes. It won't hurt for sure.

I had done a CD4 CD8 count test and got the following results:
CD4: 45,9% 828
CD8: 31,8% 573
Ratio: 1.4
But in the flow cytometry report I noticed that I have very low B2 count of 9. is this normal?
B1 is 563
B2 is 9
B3 is 414
B4 is 816
Thanks you
