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.

      What do my test results mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @HWB, Have you been checked for SIBO?  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth will cause constipation and chemically breath.   The best way to get rid of SIBO is to go on a ketogenic/Paleo diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  It starves out the carbohydrate loving bacteria and allows good bacteria to repopulate the small intestine.   The SIBO bacteria can communicate with the brain along the gut-brain axis, making you crave carbs, and in return, the SIBO bacteria can mess with your immune system by lowering inflammation and producing endorphins.  So, it's no wonder you feel better eating sugar.   I took high dose (500-1000 mg/day) Benfotiamine (Thiamine) which promotes intestinal healing and helps keep bacterial in check.  Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses (500-1000 mg) every day are required to get results.  The body responds differently to high doses.  Got rid of my SIBO like this.  It was tough, but Celiac makes you stronger.

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Nighttime Soiling (5 year old)

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      Scientists have discovered a cause of inflammatory bowel disease. They said it's a 'holy grail' discovery that could transform other autoimmune treatments.

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-
