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

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
