I completely understand what you're saying Syl. Just because something is written doesn't mean it's true. I approach any information with caution and do my best to research it (including feedback from this forum) and going from there. In our situations though (having IBS), we need to be objective an keep an open mind. We've all probably been dealing with our symptoms for years with little, if any help from doctors and have taken to figuring this out on our own. If someone says they've resolved their issues, I think how and what they've done is worth consideration regardless of what we actually call the disease/syndrome etc.
With that said, I consulted with a naturopath today (nothing to to with Candida though as I don't think it's my problem anyway) and the issue of parasites came up. You and I spoke about this before as I mentioned I pursued this with my doctor (for reasons I could explain if needed) but got little interest from him as he said the colonoscopy and/or stool and ova test would have uncovered it. You questioned this logic then as did the naturopath today. She suggested an anti-parasite remedy. Any thoughts on that?
Also I'm going to make a seperate post about something else she talked about called body talk http://www.bodytalksystem.com/ Do you know anything about this?
