Yeast As An Issue

[no-lemming]

I am very new to the blog (today) and the diagnosis (last week) and amid the hustle and bustle was doing well and then glutened myself before a big event. I am trying to get through the fog now.

I need to ask though if anyone has ever experienced issues with yeast as well as gluten?

Do these go hand in hand?

I was not tested for yeast but have a sneaking suspicion that there is a problem with it as well.

If anyone out there has an idea.....or comment, please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi there and welcome!! I have yeast issues, mostly due to having battled Lyme disease for many years. I'm hoping it will get better after I've been on the gluten free diet for a longer period of time.

Here are some links which should help you. Yeast can be a serious problem.

Candida diet and elimination:

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."

Five Steps to Candida Elimination:

1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.

2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]

3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]

4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]

5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

I too have a problem with yeast, was treated for about a year, but never formally dx with lyme disease too.

Anyway, I have an intolerance - I have no candida symptoms other than yeast intolerance.

For me, yeast makes me crash, litterly pass out for a few hours, then I have brain fog for another day or so and I also notice GI problems.

I avoid all yeast, vinegar (yeast in the process), wine, sweet things that sit out (pies and sweet breads have to be refridgerated right away), dried fruit, ripe fruit, etc. Tomatoes also have a similar type of yeast and I had noticed, before I realized yeast is a problem for me, that I have to limit them. I can eat tomoatoes, I just can't have them every day or whole bunches.

My reactions to different foods differ - gluten takes a couple of hours to kick in, soy and corn are immediate, yeast is the brain fog, etc.
