Samples of  breastmilk and blood tests were sent in to be tested for candida
albicans and  came back negative, however her GP still agreed it was thrush
and began  treatment

Dear Friends:
    I don't understand. If lab tests give results which  are ignored, what's
the point of doing them?
    Deep breast pain, according to one study, was found  more likely to be
bacterial. Was this mother checked for duct cramping,  oversupply, latch,
Raynaud's?
    warmly,
