Advair

Just looked up advair, a medecated inhalor I use for COPD, and noticed a strong connection to candida. I also see a connection between candida and gluten intolerance. Has anyone used this or a similar drug prior to becoming gluten intolerant? After reading a large number of posts on advair, I am quitting! That's some nasty drug! Thanks

I am an advair user and I do not have gluten issues (my dd has Celiac). I think the problem with candida only comes about if you don't rinse your mouth after using it. In the 3 years I have been taking the strongest dose I have never had a problem with it.

If you decide to stop using it, please contact your doctor first. Anytime you have medicines for breathing issues, stopping suddenly could cause some serious issues.

Also fully check out any alternatives as there can be some nasty side effects from these as well.

Thanks for your respose and sorry to hear about your dd. I do rinse my mouth religeously, and do not have the oral thrush. It was discovered during an endoscopy, and is systematic. I'm glad that you don't have a problem with it, but many people do. I have been slowly weanig myself off of it, and will carefully research any alternatives. I was surprized to find that I had it because I had no outward symptoms, but candida is a problem with long term steroid use. I wish I had done more research before I started using it- I never would have if I had. You moght want to check out medication.com for more info. I know I'm going to look at it closer.

Have you ever looked into Serevent? It's a steroid free long-acting inhaler that's used in the treatment of COPD. I've not extensively researched it, but might be worth your time to check into it.

serevent is the bronchodialator half of advair, and not recommended for use on it's own (without an inhaled steriod), as it increases the risk of death. (that's where those new advair warnings come from, once you add the steroid, the risk goes virtually away.) in general, inhaled corticosteroids should pose a MUCH smaller risk than systemic corticosteroids (like prednisone) for yeast, but that's not to say they pose no risk, espeicially on long term treatment). you might ask your allergy/asthma doc about spiriva (which is an anticholinergenic, rather than a bronchodialator or anti-inflammatory), or other alternatives that might be appropriate for you. (i recently switched to spiriva - totally helps me more than advair, but my asthma isn't entirely classic.)

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
