Candida Issues

Ok, so as some might already know from mentioning I have a infected abscess and was on antibiotics for over 7 months. I developed some issues with constipation, vomiting, and some others issues including a bunch of new intolerance issues in the last few weeks.

SO I went to the docter and had some test done, I thought for sure it was a SIBO issue but ends it I had no issues in the small but had a candida issues in the large -_- SO I am on some candidaFX stuff to kill it off, I am on a keto/paleo diet for UC so the food list and changes for this is not that drastic, just have to avoid a few of the veggies I use on rotation and get off of xylitol for a while. ANYWAY I am having some odd bowl issues,  during die off etc. gas is normal but hard constipation and stools with a mucus? This constipation is very different from my gluten or UC constipation, I feel like a constipated rabbit the way it comes out. NO large solid masses just a bunch of little ones and it is hard to have a BM. Had to 3x my magnesium citrate to even get it to move and then come in several small BM where I feel I need to go but is so hard.....I am so used to ONE big blockage that this little thing is annoying, time consuming, frustrating and painful. Is this from the candida eating most of the bulk and causing inflammation? The staggering difference of this constipation from my issues I used to have with it and even bouts caused by UC flares or Glutening where IT would just stop and then huge Log after a day or so.

HI Ennis!!

Maybe you could try that Chinese slim tea? makes me go! Are you taking any probiotics? You have to re lubricate your gut! When you are clean?ing the gut your also wiping away Everything.. including the good bacteria. Can you eat yogurt? are you ok with Dairy?

When I get really bad gas or issues I eat a whole quart in one day. I get some high quality probiotics too.

I am lactose intolerant first off, second dairy is a HUGE no with candida  the bad bacteria goes crazy with it. Your supposed to try to starve it off while treating it. NOW the bacteria strains in a yogurt are the type that are in a healthy gut and feed on the bad bacteria to help keep it in check, The stuff I am on to kill it off has one strain in it. I am also consuming a non dairy unsweetened yogurt in small amounts with each meal to get more of the good stuff back in. Will look into the tea, I know there is a type of laxative tea, tip of my tongue I have it in a cart on lucky vitamin. I need to do some more research into it and ask my doctor first. With a damaged gut, and FUBAR immune system its like a blind folded pinata party trying to find fixes for stuff....you miss and break the wrong thing many times before you hit your goal. At least I can laugh about this stuff after so many years.

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
