Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You have been taking antibiotics for some time now and now you have observed yeast cells in stool.The reason you might see this is most probably due to due to excess use of antibiotics and other drugs, increased sugar and simple carbohydrates in diet, a lack of digestive enzymes, and stress.You can avoid excess antibiotics and also do a Candida stool test to confirm and also take necessary anti fungal medications .
Do not worry.
