Hello,
 
I'm new to the board and definitely have candida issues. My biggest issue is finding a doc who's willing to treat me. I've visited 2 primary care docs who have no idea what I'm talking about, and 2 GI docs who want to perform colonoscopies. 
 
What types of docs are you guys seeing that are working with you for treatments of Nystatin/Diflucan? Since those seem to be the main meds that work.
 
I don't know if I should see a PCP, GYN, or Infectious Disease?

My wife who is not a Celiac has vaginal yeast infections from time to time and her obgyn doc is willing to prescribe the nystatin/diflukin meds without hesitation. 

Those drugs are effective but really can tax the liver. You don't want to be on them for extended periods of time or often. Of if you do, make sure you have your liver enzymes checked regularly.

I get yeast infections occasionally in the peri area from perspiration after exercising and not changing my damp undies like I should. I had this recently and found that Gold Bond powder really worked well. I think zinc is the active ingredient. Not sure if this applies as you did not say where the yeast infections manifest themselves.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks but that amount of gluten will def have me in chronic pain and discomfort. My hemorrhoids issues are quite severe. Part of the reason I've abandoned diagnosis.

      Are you exposed to any airborne sources of gluten? We have an older house and constantly fixing something. Cutting into old wall board or plaster can release gluten into the air. Also, the sickest i ever got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they get excited and kick up everything, air filled with dust. Sure enough, their food contained gluten grain.  Any pets? If they are eating gluten, they lick themselves, you pet them .... my pets all eat grain free pet food. If I pet someone else's critters, which I am compelled to do, I immediately was hands.

      For the blood screening test or any other testing, make sure you continue eating gluten every day until all testing is concluded. I'm traveling right now, but hopefully someone else can provide the link on how much you need. I think it's about 4 slices of gluten bread a day.

      The early days are often tricky for the newly diagnosed.   There were times I thought I'd never feel better, but it just takes some people longer than others.   Hang on in there, and keep posting with any questions as they occur or if you need any encouragement.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Aphrodite · Posted

      Thank you, Scott, for sharing the article. I’ve been puzzled by products with gluten-free certifications that also include allergen disclosures stating the product is processed in facilities that also process wheat. It appears industry has moved on. I have little, if any, trust left in the certifications and labeling.
