Celiac is causing candida but nystatin and fluconazole make me sick, what do I do?

I will be contacting my doctor in the morning but I still want to consult my celiac tribe. I have had chronic candida issues my whole adult life. Thrust, yeast, the works. It’s seemingly impossible to get under control. I’ve been on the candida diet for ages. So much as having a cough drop can trigger symptoms so I’m lead to believe it’s never been under control in the first place. I’m a classical singer and now I have to put away the microphone because thrush has infected my larynx. Determined to not give up, Ive been prescribed nystatin and now fluconazole and both are crippling me with the worst god awful migraine and flu-like symptoms. I can’t do this. Is there hope? Is there something else I don’t know about? Halp

Have you tried pro biotics? I suspect your gut biome mix is out of balance, allowing yeast/fungi to systemically be out of control. If you don't mind my asking, what meds are you regularly on? Could something you are taking be dinging your gut biome? How are your blood sugars?

I am taking probiotics but weirdly it seems to be making my thrush worse but that doesn’t make sense. I am not on any meds. I have little test strips that show my blood sugars are good.

Have you tried the nystatin mouth rinse for the oral thrush?

Yes, but I wasn't sure if you were referring to the pill form or the oral rinse form of nystatin.

Oh I see, sorry. I am currently prescribed the mouth rinse and swallow form. I wasn’t aware that they have a pill form of that.

Are you sure it is a candida infection? In healthy adults, this is extremely rare. It is most commonly seen in people with severe debilitating autoimmune diseases (celiac is not one of them) in extremely young or old people. I would for sure investigate further. Clotrimazole troches are often prescribed and well tolerated for candida infections.

I am not certain if it is candida, but I am seeing an immunologist and allergy specialist and he used the word candida in response to confiding about my issues with yeast infections and thrush so that's why I used that word. Thanks for the tip.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
