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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
