A member asked:

Result showed candida parapsilosis in stool (part of normal human flora) my symptoms match that of candida infection what further tests are needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What symptoms?: Indeed, a variety of species of candida are normal flora in human stool. Just by being in the stool, the yeast does not cause illness.
