Celiac is causing candida but nystatin and fluconazole make me sick, what do I do?

I will be contacting my doctor in the morning but I still want to consult my celiac tribe. I have had chronic candida issues my whole adult life. Thrust, yeast, the works. It’s seemingly impossible to get under control. I’ve been on the candida diet for ages. So much as having a cough drop can trigger symptoms so I’m lead to believe it’s never been under control in the first place. I’m a classical singer and now I have to put away the microphone because thrush has infected my larynx. Determined to not give up, Ive been prescribed nystatin and now fluconazole and both are crippling me with the worst god awful migraine and flu-like symptoms. I can’t do this. Is there hope? Is there something else I don’t know about? Halp

Have you tried pro biotics? I suspect your gut biome mix is out of balance, allowing yeast/fungi to systemically be out of control. If you don't mind my asking, what meds are you regularly on? Could something you are taking be dinging your gut biome? How are your blood sugars?

I am taking probiotics but weirdly it seems to be making my thrush worse but that doesn’t make sense. I am not on any meds. I have little test strips that show my blood sugars are good.

Have you tried the nystatin mouth rinse for the oral thrush?

Yes, but I wasn't sure if you were referring to the pill form or the oral rinse form of nystatin.

Oh I see, sorry. I am currently prescribed the mouth rinse and swallow form. I wasn’t aware that they have a pill form of that.

Are you sure it is a candida infection? In healthy adults, this is extremely rare. It is most commonly seen in people with severe debilitating autoimmune diseases (celiac is not one of them) in extremely young or old people. I would for sure investigate further. Clotrimazole troches are often prescribed and well tolerated for candida infections.

I am not certain if it is candida, but I am seeing an immunologist and allergy specialist and he used the word candida in response to confiding about my issues with yeast infections and thrush so that's why I used that word. Thanks for the tip.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Russ H · Posted

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining. When gluten consumption is discontinued, these processes cease. Antibodies begin to disappear from the blood and the villi begins to rebuild. Many people begin to experiment with the gluten free diet before they seek testing and their doctors often neglect to check for this before ordering blood tests and biopsies.  If you want to be sure that you don't have celiac disease, you would need to endure a "gluten challenge" for a period of weeks. This would consist of resuming gluten consumption in the amount of at least 10g daily (the equivalent of about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and then get retested or re-biopsied. But regardless of whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same: total abstinence from gluten for life.

      I can’t remember if I had started the gluten free diet or not.

      Welcome to the forum @Bridget connors! When you had the blood antibody testing done and the biopsy, had you already been restricting your gluten intake for a significant period of time, say weeks or months at least?

      Newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity

      Hi my name is Bridget I was newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity but I have a very severe reaction to gluten and was wondering if anyone else has this and was told they didn’t have celiac. My brother and his son have it and I think I do as well. I have horrible burning lips that started three years ago that turned into cracks sometimes in the corners of my lips and my lips swell and turn bright red all around the edge and burn and tingle. Then I started get sores on my tongue and inside of my lips. When there’s a bad flare of if I eat any sugar or citrus it’s like I’m burning my mouth and more sores appear. I had chronic diarrhea to the point of incontience sometimes and stomach pains nausea. Migraines then came horrible leg and hand feet cramping. Then joint pain. Sleeping problems vomiting and more recently very foul smelling gas. So I stopped eating all gluten and every symptom has gone away. If I accidentally eat gluten it comes back with a vengeance and more symptoms appear each time!!! It’s crazy it’s like the gluten is poisoning my body. This last exposer my ear was killing me and the lymph node behind my ear and my throat and a big canker on the side of my tongue. Anybody with any thoughts?? I’ve had biopsies and blood tests everything comes back normal I don’t get it.
