Intestinal fungal infection
Hi Sir/Madam
I want to know if there is any test to diagnose intestinal fungal. If yes, what is the name of the test.
Also one doubt - can an intestinal biopsy diagnose intestinal fungal infection?
One of the functional medicine doctor doubts that i can have intestinal fungal infection and she asked me to ask a gastro for the generic test as all her tests are really costly around 30k since she is US based practitioner in INDIA.
Please let me know my above queries. That would be really helpful.
Thanks

Signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal fungal infections include diarrhea, vomiting, melena, hemorrhage, abdominal pain, and fever, and are often similar regardless of the type of fungus involved. And can be detected by biopsy
