I was glutened a few weeks ago. Now I have a bad yeast infection. Is Monistat safe for us to use? (I know i'm not eating it but I am super sensitive)

Thx!

Yes it is safe for for the 7 day cure. Slow and steady can win the battle without having really bad cramping. B)

I have had terrible yeast infections in the past and personally, Monistat was not strong enough...they would come back. I use Clotrimazole (also Gyne Lotrinum sp?), also Terazol which is prescribed but VERY strong stuff. i've also taken Diflucan (ineffective) and Nystatin (somewhat effective). Anyway, I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks. I use to have a yeast infection every single month after my period. It was horrible. That went away totally when I went gluten free. I got one this time after 2 years because I was glutened pretty badly from CC at a restaurant. It was the first time that I had eaten out in 18 months. Never again! Not worth it!

On another note, men are sooooo lucky that they dont have to deal with this stuff! The monistat helped tons but boy is it uncomfortable and gross! 2 more days of it....ugh :(:huh::ph34r:

Men get yeast infections too. Actually, they can give them back TO you.

They don't usually have obvious symptoms like women with vaginal yeast infections.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
