You have not described the discharge, but I get a slight discharge when I eat sugar. It is like clockwork -- too much fruit/sugar/agave/maple syrup/dates/etc., discharge. None of those things, no real discharge. It is not like a yeast infection per se in its description more just whitish/clearish and thin. But it definitely responds to sugar.

Just one idea.

I don't know if this will be helpful or not but.... Do you use panty liners? If you do see if you can find one that is unscented. That may help especially if you are experiencing itchiness.

I've used Balneol for problems in this area (a non soap cleanser) found at drug stores BEHIND the Counter as it's expensive.

Since we're on personal topic: are you at or near menopause or pre-mature menopause? Sometimes funky urinogenital stuff goes on during this peri-menopause time......

Oh my gosh! I am so glad to read that this does occur, tho I am sorry for your discomfort. I am new to the gluten-free world. My 6 year old daughter and I were both recently diagnosed with Celiacs. She has the discharge, only it is darker in color. I gotta say tho, when I give her Colloidal Silver with her morning water and pure organic lemon juice in her night water the discharge gets lighter and disappears. Mine too. I think it is because we have been eating more dairy and sugar than we used to. We are cutting back on that now but continuing the Colloidal Silver and lemon juice. A Naturopath suggested that the alkalinity in our bodies needs to come up, hence the lemon juice. The Colloidal Silver because it kicks Candidas hiney!

Just an idea...

I've had a discharge forever, it seems. It got lighter when I sewed my own pantyliners out of flannel, as apparently even the non-scented pantyliners seem to cause a heavier discharge (making you buy more, I think it is intentional).

But since I've been on a parasite cleanse (I'm on day 12), the discharge has completely stopped! I especially noticed the absence of the smell that would accompany the discharge.

I'm so glad someone brought started this thread! I have been having issues with this for along time, but I've always been too embarrassed to say something to my Dr. :ph34r::rolleyes:

Confusedks, don't be embarrassed! We're all in this together. Ursa Major, which parasite cleanse are you using? I tried one for children with my daughter, but her poor intestines are too sensative right now and it caused her too much pain. I would love to do a parasite cleanse that is gentle tho. I'm wondering if maybe a homeopathic cleanse would work. Anyone have any ideas? We've cut out dairy and way down on the sugar, but I would love to clean out those nasty bugs and get a whole new start. It's hard enough for her to not be able to eat what "everyone else does" (breaks my heart) and I have never been more menu creative in my life!!

Me, too, with the discharge. It only started after my last pap exam (which was extremely painful for some reason - but it came back normal). I feel I'm perimenopausal, and it has something to do with it. Mine is dark, and it really stains my underwear - I use bleach along w/tide unscented/soak it; but it doesn't come out.

Plus, I've noticed I seem to be susceptible to pain associated with uti's, at times, in conjunction with the discharge.

I am using the Humaworm cleanse, and they do have a children's formula.

I am not going nuts. For years I have had a discharge thought that it could be invisible blood, that was causing staining. Now I reading many others have the same problem. I am just starting Celiac testing. I believe I have the Celiac disease, which has caused liver problems. I have many stomach problems. IBS. acid reflux, and the list goes on.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
