I have had the worst luck with family doctors. I had a lab come back with low white blood cells, low red blood cells and my glucose higher than the norm for me. The doctor I had at the time said everything was "just perfect." Another doctor said it was natural flora and it was impossible for that to happen--it was a myth. (!!) Now I am being overrun by candida. I have conjunctivitis and I think the yeast is in my sinuses. It is coating my tongue, I have a vaginal yeast infection and my anus itches. I bought capricin and garlic but I have no idea how much to take or if it is going to work. Please help, getting too sick.

Coconut oil is good for killing yeast. Start out slow.

Take good quality probiotics. I take Theralac, Ultra Flora, and VSL#3, all available on the internet.

If you can get a prescription for Nystatin that would help.

Eat NO sugar, yeast, or alcohol. Restrict simple carbs, including fruit.

You will probably feel worse before you feel better. The die-off causes discomfort. If it gets too uncomfortable, eat a piece of fruit to slow down the rate it's dying off.

Eat raw Garlic, 2 cloves a day. I chop it up and swallow like a pill. Also acidophilis pills will help (probiotic). Don't buy the garlic pills. They dont really help.

That's true to an extent, though I would think it better for maintenance than for treatment. The reason it helps is because it contains caprylic acid.

To address a yeast problem, I used caprylic acid capsules, which worked very well. I'm guessing the capricin is a similar product to what I had used (not sure of the brand name ATM). Anyway, there should be some suggestion on the bottle for an amount to take. I recall the bottle I had said to start slow, and increase the dosage over a certain period of time.

True, and I do use it for maintenance. I think it's a good staple for all of us to have in our diet to keep the yeast away, not to mention its other health benefits!

Some people with a big candida problem react very strongly to even a little bit of coconut oil, but I would agree, that after a time on the anti-candida diet, taking probiotics, eating coconut oil with no problem, garlic with no problem, then it might be a good idea to get something stronger.

There are yeast cleanses out there ... but I wouldn't start off right away with them, you're too sick right now to handle it.

I also think it's important to find out WHY you have this candida overgrowth. If you don't eliminate the cause of it, then you won't be able to eliminate the candida. Normal, healthy people don't get candida overgrowth ... there has to be a reason for it. If you're a newly diagnosed celiac, that could be the reason.

HI, I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR YOUR HAVING ALL THIS TROUBLE, I WOULD NOT WISH IT ON ANYONE. I AM NEW TO THIS SITE. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CELIAC ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. I JUST HAPPENED TO READ YOUR POST FIRST AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY SOMETHING THAT HAS WORKED VERY WELL FOR MY FAMILY AND I, IT'S CALLED* OREGANOL*. MY SIX YEAR OLD HAS HAD YEAST PROBLEMS IN THE PAST AND IS ALLERGIC TO IT AS WELL, HE IS STILL ALLERGIC TO YEAST, SO HE DOESN'T EAT IT BUT NOW HIS BODY IS CLEAR OF IT, NO MORE ITCHY BOTTOM OR YUCKY MOUTH. I THINK WITH ALL THINGS IT GETS WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER AND THAT IS THE CASE WITH YEAST, DYE OFF IS OR CAN BE HARD. (IN OUR CASE JUST MORE ITCHY) WE ALL TAKE THIS PRODUCT EVERY DAY I WILL NEVER STOP EVEN MY THREE YEAR OLD TAKES IT. READ ABOUT IT AT WWW.P-73.COM IT WOULDN'T HURT TO TRY IT, IT KILLS CANDIDA. WE TAKE THE OIL. REMEMBER TO LIMIT YOUR SUGAR BECAUSE SUAGAR FEEDS YEAST. I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON.

I got a book called "The Body Ecology Diet". it is pretty good; but severe. No fruit at all, etc. I ended up feeling pretty bad after a while, and losing weight. The die-off was pretty severe.

One of the things she mentions is to properly combine foods. For example, don't eat protein and starch. Too much of the sugars end up in your system undigested by you, and happily fed on by the yeast. So I only eat protein with leafy greens and nonstarchy veggies. I like salmon and salad, or steak and salad.

I'd also avoid all sweet fruits. Apples are probably lower on the glycemic index than some. Bananas are high. Cherries are alright, but they're not in season. Berries are okay I think.

Anyway, I've not had it so severely as you, and have never taken medications for it, herbal or otherwise, so can't comment there. I did swish out with tea tree oil diluted when I got mild thrush from some antibiotics last year. It took a month to get better, but it did eventually work.

Good luck to you.

Hello I had to quickly reply as you sound like your having excatly the same problems.

I have systematic candida I dont think Ihave it as bad as before but I thinks its reposnsible for the rest of my bloat and other symptoms an I cant eat anything with sugar, yeast moulds etc..

This started for me 14 months ago after loads of antibiotics an operation and then more anti's..never the same when I came out - got tested for loads and they just said IBS and I have had IBS I knew it wasnt as I had a seizure, look pregant and I am only a size 6 loads of symptoms..

I went to a homeopath who said I had chronic candida. 7 months on the diet and she said I could have ryvita and every time I ate it I had symptoms. She said I am fine and just have a sentstive tum so I didnt have them that oftern once every two weeks and now it makes sense why I was like a yo yo..the ryvita were gluten and I had celiac..so I was recovering and then glutening myself!!!! and then doing it again when I started feeling better..its so draining trying to cure your self isnt it !!

I only had them now and again as I thought maybe I needed more fibre..

So at the end of 7 months fighting candida she said right it should be gone, I ate normal slowly aswell..I got ill massive hunger pangs back, distention bla bla bla..she said you have an underlying problem thats why its not going - you need more tests.

So I am hoping this time celiac diet and candida diet and antifungals with probotics must work then because your tums healing thats why it didnt before. Totally agree with the last post must be because we are celiac's..

Ive just had bisopy last tuesday and I asked the GI consultant about canida - she said yes if you are celiac you can have bugs in your belly - I aslo asked what am I supposed to do about the itching constant thrush she said you diflucan one tab you can buy it from the shop I said I have about 5 times it doesnt work - she said oh okay if your celiac thats coz your not absorbing the tablets!!!! (why didnt they think about it like that 14 months ago NHS is so poor..I am having trouble working for them going through all this lol..

Ive been trying to cut all carbs but I get fatigued and my job is very physical and Ive just had 5 weeks off ready for my gluten challenge so need my job to pay for all these blimming supplements..lol...

We will get there if you ever want to contact me as I am doing the same thing my email is:

moseleymand@hotmail.co.uk

Take care

Mand :P

Another good product that lots of people have had success with is Threelac (not the same as Theralac). You can read about it on line. Also you need to stop sugar (even fruit for a while).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.
