So I was just wondering about something. I am currently being treated for a severe yeast infection of my gut. I am on 100mg of Diflucan once daily, and I'm about 2/3 of the way done with it. My anxiety was pretty high before I started the diflucan. I have experianced some pretty bad die-off and my anxiety levels that were better seem to have come back.n Definitely not as bad as before, but they are definitely there. My Doc recommended Ashwaganda to help with anxiety, but when I went to the natural food store the clerk (who seemed very knowledgable and nice) recommeneded I take GABA instead. She says it will relax you and has almost a "valium like effect". She said I could take it during the day and be fine. So I was wondering if anyone else took this and how it worked for them. I am very hesitant to take anything because Docs seems to just shove pills at you and make the problem worse. I really really dont want to have to go on an SSRI/SSNI. I was on those before when I had post patrum depression after my son was born and coming off of it even under doc supervision was awful. Just wondered what everyone thought. I am open to suggestion! :)

Is your diflucan gluten free? I didn't know if you might have a generic version that might not be gluten-free - most pharmacists won't even check on that, even if you have 'gluten free' in nice big letters on their computer. That might explain the anxiety, big-time.

I'd double check the GABA is gluten-free, too.

Also, did the doctor talk to you about what to eat after the treatment? Or a diet change AS treatment? If he didn't, you might want to look into resources for those with yeast overgrowth, etc... There seems to be a lot of information to help you out on what to eat, etc... that keep food away from the yeast, and help you in recovery, etc...

I believe some of it can be, simply, a severe diet restriction so that the yeast has nothing to eat and can't survive, but I'm not entirely sure about it. It may be more something to eat for a while after the medication to make sure yeast doesn't get another foothold while your bacteria is trying to recover lost ground.

Although I imagine there is some thoughts on that, too - making sure you don't get a bacterial infection now that the yeast is all killed off. Sigh - it's never easy, is it?

GABA works similar to alcohol. You can also look into magnesium. Valerian root is also very common, but look up research on liver damage with too high of doses.

      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!
