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.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
