I recently had a stool sample tested and it was positive for "Moderate Yeast." Is there a reason for concern? Should I do anything or is this normal? What is the treatment for this, if abnormal?

Welcome to our board!


Was this test ordered because of specific symptoms, or did you do this test on your own? There are so many 'do-it-yourself' test kits available.


If the test was ordered by your doctor, he/she would be the one to explain the results and suggest any necessary treatment. Your diet and what you ate immediately before having this test done could certainly change the test results. From what I've read, moderate yeast is not anything to be concerned with, but if you feel that something is wrong, an appointment with your doctor is in order.
