I have been reading about others fighting candida, I too have been fighting this since about six months after the birth of my second child, I started having chronic yeast infections that my gyn could not successully treat, I was then treated by a GP with diflucan for 21 days and boric acid suppositories, vaginal. this helped but she did not stress cutting out sugar, so I did not and it came back, I have been treating my self with GFSE, odorless garlic, probiotics and cutting the sugar as much as I can, and have been free of vaginal yeast, but still gassy. I am also wondering if I have celiac disease or just issues with gluten, which could cause the gas. My question is, I see lots of people talk about having issues with heavy metals, what are symptoms of this? I do have eczema on my hands that I can not get rid of, and I know there is no cure for eczema, but I would love to have something to help keep it under control. Does anyone here have issues with eczema? I am a nurse that only works occasionally, but when I do and wash my hands with all that antibacterial soap, it tears up my hands, they are often cracked and bleeding, who wants their nurse comming in with cracked, bleeding hands!

It's funny, I was heavy metal toxic and chelated them .... but I don't have a symptom list .....

I would suggest Googling Dr. Klinghardt .. he's the heavy metal expert. :)

I'm not very familiar with them but I do know memory loss is one of the symptoms. There was an article the other day on yahoo news I believe that stated a certain amount of senile senior citizens had very high levels of lead.

Here's a little information I found on it - Open Original Shared Link

You can get rid of eczema. Its usually a sign of gut disturbance. I have read many cases on the Yeast Connection Forum of people getting rid of it.

The idea is to starve the fungus (yeast) so you have to avoid anything starchy especially sugar, kill the fungus with antifungals, and then replenish with probiotics. So you are on the right track already. But if you don't starve them, they will not completely go away. They survive on starchy foods.

There is another Candida thread you might be interested in . Also, more info is available at www.wholeapproach.com. Open Original Shared Link (yeast connection)

About the heavy metals, symptoms can be vary. Some have add type symptoms, food sensitivies including gluten (mercury damages the enzymes necessary for gluten digestion), wierd pains, reoccuring yeast problems, other auto-immune problems, brain fog, autism....the list goes on and on. It can be different for everyone.

If you have yeast problems that keep coming back after many attempts to control it, then you definately have some underlying issues - most commonly heavy metals. Do you have fillings?

Yes I do have metal fillings, the last one I got was the white one, but I still have the other metal ones.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, but the biopsy needs to be done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis. So, if you can accomplish that without long term gluten exposure, that should work. How close together does do the dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks occur in relation to the gluten exposure? It would be helpful to time that out in relation to your dermatology appointment for the biopsy. But one caution I would have about a dermatitis herpetiformis biopsy is that not every dermatologist knows how to do it correctly. The sample needs to be taken from tissue next to the bumps, not from the bumps themselves. But Wheatwacked is correct. A dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis is definitive proof of celiac disease. However, only about 15% of celiacs develop dermatitis herpetiformis.

      That should answer your question about gluten.  Plus a dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis is definative of celiac disease by itself.  Now you need to decide if you need to to pursue a diagnosis.  For your baby's health, I would assune both you and the baby have Celiac Disease. Eat gluten free and account for the fact that gluten free foods are not fortified.  Make sure to get lots of folate and Choline to prevent neurotube defects.   My son was diagnosed when he was weaned by biopsy in 1976.  Everyone called it just colicky, but his giant abdomen and green and yellow poop said otherwise.  Oh, and dispite general belief, they do not outgrow it.  If you are gluten free then your newborn will be gluten free and testing will not be positive for celiac disease, until the baby starts eating gluten and gets sick.  Why put him through that?  Gluten free household will give him the best health. Just before I started gluten free and one of the reasons I did was that I was lying in bed watching TV when I coughed.  My belly was bloated and I felt sick as a dog.  A bubble, looked like Bazooka bubble gum, popped out of my navel.  I am male, but apparently umbilical hernias are not uncommon in pregnancy.  Mine eventually resolved by itself. Low choline levels in pregnant women raise babies' risk for brain and spinal-cord defects, study shows  "From 180,000 pregnant women screened between 2003 and 2005, the researchers identified 80 whose pregnancies were affected by neural tube defects. Choline, an essential nutrient found in egg yolks, soy, wheat germ and meats, was the only nutrient measured whose blood levels were linked to risk of neural tube defects."

      Welcome to the community @MCAyr! One thing you need to know is that in order for celiac disease diagnostic testing to be valid, you must not have been on a gluten-free diet already. The first stage of celiac disease testing involves looking for the blood antibodies that are produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining. Once you eliminate gluten, the antibodies begin to disappear and it takes weeks or months of being back on normal amounts of gluten for them to build up to detectable levels again.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By MCAyr · Posted

      Hi currently being investigated for celiac; suspected dermatitis herpetiformis, low calcium and vit D, stomach discomfort and 2 episodes of awful stomach pain (docs think maybe triggered by pregnancy)  Went gluten-free for 5 weeks was feeling great then last week accidentally had some in a sweet! Followed by 2 days of absolute hell and excruciating stomach pain and cramping below right of belly button. Since then the really bad pain has gone, but I've had sore to touch above my belly button and think I can feel a lump, was painful for a couple of days to point I couldn't sleep on sides. Docs palpated few days before I could feel lump, and felt nothing.  Anyone had a hernia they didn't know about until their gluten reaction inflamed it? Or is this just another lovely gluten sensitivity symptom?  Many thanks
