Hello,
 
I'm new to the board and definitely have candida issues. My biggest issue is finding a doc who's willing to treat me. I've visited 2 primary care docs who have no idea what I'm talking about, and 2 GI docs who want to perform colonoscopies. 
 
What types of docs are you guys seeing that are working with you for treatments of Nystatin/Diflucan? Since those seem to be the main meds that work.
 
I don't know if I should see a PCP, GYN, or Infectious Disease?

My wife who is not a Celiac has vaginal yeast infections from time to time and her obgyn doc is willing to prescribe the nystatin/diflukin meds without hesitation. 

Those drugs are effective but really can tax the liver. You don't want to be on them for extended periods of time or often. Of if you do, make sure you have your liver enzymes checked regularly.

I get yeast infections occasionally in the peri area from perspiration after exercising and not changing my damp undies like I should. I had this recently and found that Gold Bond powder really worked well. I think zinc is the active ingredient. Not sure if this applies as you did not say where the yeast infections manifest themselves.

      Yes no gluten in my diet. I get so sick that I have to go to the ER for fluids and medicine. I was diagnosed in 2017 but was told I probably have had it my whole life. (Went to Mayo in 2019 to confirm diagnoses and address all other autommune issues ect.) Also intolerance to sugar alcohols and chicory root. Try to eat clean and stay away from processes foods.

      I am on Otzela for my psoriasis an psoriasis arthritis.  They tried pretizon and I got sick on it. ( the doctor at urgent care). Need to see my doctor but he seems puzzled by me. My celiac disease is unresponsive and my numbers are off the chart.  ( 2nd testing went higher but Mayo said they might never go down because I have it so bad) Came back home considering going back to Mayo.

      Hi I have celiac disease and the dermatitis herpetiformis rash Also other autommune diseases.  I have had bad side effects to all the vaccines I have had and now my Doctor wants me to have the pneumonia vaccine.  I am concerned because of some of the bad side effects I have had in the past example Hep B after shot couldn't  move arm for several months.  Flu shot and COVID was sick right after shot. Told not to get anymore. My lung is inflamed and have a cough I can't seem to get rid of. Very concerned 😟.
