Candida?

My blood sugar has been a bit whacked out lately and now I have both a bit of athlete's foot and a white coating on my tongue. I have heard of Capricin. Does anyone know anything about this or how to treat it? I hate going to the doctor, especially since I can't find one that takes Celiac Disease seriously.

I once had the yeastie beasties (candida). I got rid of it by avoiding all yeasts and sugars, and taking caprylic acid capsules. Also avoided other things which promote yeast growth, like vinegar. I felt like I had a new body within weeks.

Note: The term "yeasts" here is being used to refer to not just bread yeast and other forms such as extracts, but fungi such as mushrooms, and mold such as in blue cheese.

I have heard many good things about Threelac and Theralac on this sight. Look them up on the web.

I hope you really want to get rid of candida the natural way. I read an interesting article today. See here: Open Original Shared Link Using pharmacuticle anti-candida meds eases the symptoms but doesn't get rid of the problem.

I'd do a strict anti-candida diet for at least 3 weeks if I were you. First starve the candida off its food source and after the diet introduce things like probiotics, flaxseed oil, cold pressed coconut oil, some Pau darco, garlic, and some dandelion root to help the liver. It works for me.

I've just started with day one on the anti-candida diet... again. I did get rid of it months ago but we had a very stressful time the last month due to circumstances out of our control and because of a prolonged weakened immune system... I've got overgrowth again. :( But I am not stressed about it. I still remember the good results I had from doing the above. Best to you.

I'm on a lot of antibiotics for my Lyme Disease, and will be long term. My Lyme doc is a holistic doc, but believes antibiotics work for Lyme, so uses them, but he uses a LOT of natural stuff as well to counteract the negative effects of the antibiotics, including candida.

He has me on Nystatin, which is a prescription, but is benign as far as negative effects.

I also take Ultra Flora, Therelac, and VSL#3, all probiotics.

I use lots of natural coconut oil, for everything. It's a natural anti-fungal.

I avoid all sugar, including fruit (especially fruit juice and dried fruit), and all yeast. I also eat a minimal amount of simple carbs -- white rice, white "bread", white potato, junk food, etc.

So far, so good. I've not had a candida problem, and I have in the past even when I wasn't on antibiotics.

Some people feel really bad on the anti-candida diet. If you do, maybe you need to slow down the yeast die off. It's best to just eat a piece of fruit rather than suffer so much you totally quit. :)

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce...

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
