Never Ending Yeast Infection

Man I had this slight itch that I thought was due to shaving and hair growth, but it just never went away, so I treated it with over the counter stuff just to be sure, and it went away for about a week and then it just comes back and it's so damn annoying. Now I read that people with low immunities and malnutrition (YA THAT'S ME with my B12 and Iron deficiency) have a harder time getting rid of yeast infections because their ammunities can't fight the yeast.

What in the heck is next. I'm trying to recover from this aweful disease and I just keep getting slammed with more crap. Does this stuff ever end?

Angie, I had that problem for a while, and the itch was driving me out of my mind. It turned out that I was allergic to my panty shields! Try switching brands, or try using cloth ones for a while. When I did that the problem went away.

I also tried over the counter medicated creams for yeast infections, with little success. So, it may not be that at all.

OMG I didn't even think of that. The itch got better when I was on my period last week and has persisted since I went back to the pantishields. You may have figured this out for me. I'm going to take the darn thing off right now. Thank you so much and I really hope that's the answer!!

Wow, it sure sounds like the pantishields are the problem. You might want to wait until the rash and itch is all cleared up before trying a different brand.

I just realized something else too. I pealed the pantiliner off and then thought OMG I bet the glue they use to stick those buggers on has gluten in it :o !! I had to go up and change my underwear too, just in case lol!! Maybe I should stay away from them all together, because the glue may even be what's causing a reaction. I hope this does it lol!!

The weird thing is that I had all the nerve damage symptoms before I went Gluten free and since then those symptoms have drastically improved. Even the info the GI specialist gave me on perniciaous anemia said that you should have B12 shots a couple times a day for the first part of it and then taper off to once a month. My B12 level was around 111 I can't remember the exact number but it was over 100 but under 120 and they told me the normal level was above 300. My GI specialist was shocked that my doctor didn't put me on B12 when he found out it was that low, but who knows lol!! The more I read up on B12 the more concerned I get. I've been in the exhaustion phase for years, but now it seems even worse then when I went gluten free, so it's killing me. I can't even get to the store to buy B12 suppliments because I just don't have the energy. I'm still working 50+ hours a week taking my 4 kids to all appointments and sporting events and doing all the housework, yardwork, and laundry UG!! I'm not sure I'm going to last much longer. I'm having unexplained side pains on a daily basis, and I'm very achy in the last couple of weeks. I'm wondering if it's because my B12 shot has worn off and I need more B12. I have a class tonight, so I guess I need to make myself get to the store afterwords and get some B12. All of this is just way too much to deal with

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      7yo struggling!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Food Allergies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
