Gastrointestinal Yeast Questions

I'm new to gluten-free, and even had to go back on gluten for 3 weeks for my biopsy, so I know that it'll take time for my GI sxs to clear - however my villous damage was only 'mild' and I'm experiencing a lot of intestinal gurgling and mucous in my stool and I've started to wonder about yeast (I searched through old posts about my symptoms). I think an intestinal parasite 'woke up' my celiac's this summer. To get rid of the parasite I was on flagyll three months ago - and in response I developed thrush and a vaginal yeast infection. I got prescription lozenges for the thrush and OTC cream for the vaginal yeast infection - but I'm realizing those were both topical treatments - could I still be out of whack yeast-wise in my GI system or is it more stable than the other two areas? When I was diagnosed my GI gave me some probiotic samples, but I didn't buy any more, and I know the yogurts aren't very strong. Any input?

I've been on Cipro for 6 months now and I'm starting to believe I may have intestinal yeast issues.

I'm going to start taking Candex and I've already seen improvements with the probiotic PB8 . It's the first probiotic that has worked for me. Try those two things and let us know how you feel and I'll do the same.

When my youngest son was under 1 year old he had this problem. He was sick so much and on so many antibiotics that it completely wiped out the good bacteria in his intestines. I gave him probiotics in his sippy cup, but that was not enough. He took medicine for the overgrowth in the bowel and nystatin for thrush. He would pass mucus from his bowels without any stool. When he did stool it had a very "yeasty" odor and was pale. It has been a long road, but since 3 1/2 he has been healthy. The key was and is to keep him as healthy as possible, give him probiotics, and off of antibiotics. I even would ask for blood work to check to see if his illness was leaning toward viral or bacterial infections. He started seeing an allergist/immunologist when he was 14 months old. He is almost 5 and if the doctor gives us a clean bill on next visit ( he will be 6 months medication free) then he will be released! :)

I just bought a month's worth of Align (that was the sample my GI doc gave me) - so I'll try that. - Stacy

I tried Align and it didn't work for me but it did work for my Mom who also has Celiac. If it doesn't work just try another one. You should notice a difference in about a week. I noticed a difference with PB8 in 2 days.

Depends on what kind of issues you have. I had a grumbly/rumbly stomach and a lot of gas. These problems resolved when I started taking PB8. I take two capsules in the morning and two before bed which is twice the daily ammount on the bottle. I also find I'm a lot more regular.

I have been taking antibiotics for months so I think it helped me more than the average joe because all my good bacteria was destroyed but I know it helps regular celiac folks as well. If you don't see a big difference try taking a little more. Like I said before you may need to try more than one before you find the one your body likes the most.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
