Candida Issues


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

Ok, so as some might already know from mentioning I have a infected abscess and was on antibiotics for over 7 months. I developed some issues with constipation, vomiting, and some others issues including a bunch of new intolerance issues in the last few weeks.

SO I went to the docter and had some test done, I thought for sure it was a SIBO issue but ends it I had no issues in the small but had a candida issues in the large -_- SO I am on some candidaFX stuff to kill it off, I am on a keto/paleo diet for UC so the food list and changes for this is not that drastic, just have to avoid a few of the veggies I use on rotation and get off of xylitol for a while. ANYWAY I am having some odd bowl issues,  during die off etc. gas is normal but hard constipation and stools with a mucus? This constipation is very different from my gluten or UC constipation, I feel like a constipated rabbit the way it comes out. NO large solid masses just a bunch of little ones and it is hard to have a BM. Had to 3x my magnesium citrate to even get it to move and then come in several small BM where I feel I need to go but is so hard.....I am so used to ONE big blockage that this little thing is annoying, time consuming, frustrating and painful. Is this from the candida eating most of the bulk and causing inflammation? The staggering difference of this constipation from my issues I used to have with it and even bouts caused by UC flares or Glutening where IT would just stop and then huge Log after a day or so.

HI Ennis!!

Maybe you could try that Chinese slim tea? makes me go! Are you taking any probiotics? You have to re lubricate your gut! When you are clean?ing the gut your also wiping away Everything.. including the good bacteria. Can you eat yogurt? are you ok with Dairy?

When I get really bad gas or issues I eat a whole quart in one day. I get some high quality probiotics too.

I am lactose intolerant first off, second dairy is a HUGE no with candida  the bad bacteria goes crazy with it. Your supposed to try to starve it off while treating it. NOW the bacteria strains in a yogurt are the type that are in a healthy gut and feed on the bad bacteria to help keep it in check, The stuff I am on to kill it off has one strain in it. I am also consuming a non dairy unsweetened yogurt in small amounts with each meal to get more of the good stuff back in. Will look into the tea, I know there is a type of laxative tea, tip of my tongue I have it in a cart on lucky vitamin. I need to do some more research into it and ask my doctor first. With a damaged gut, and FUBAR immune system its like a blind folded pinata party trying to find fixes for stuff....you miss and break the wrong thing many times before you hit your goal. At least I can laugh about this stuff after so many years.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
