Never Ending Yeast Infection

Electra

Recommended Posts

Man I had this slight itch that I thought was due to shaving and hair growth, but it just never went away, so I treated it with over the counter stuff just to be sure, and it went away for about a week and then it just comes back and it's so damn annoying. Now I read that people with low immunities and malnutrition (YA THAT'S ME with my B12 and Iron deficiency) have a harder time getting rid of yeast infections because their ammunities can't fight the yeast.

What in the heck is next. I'm trying to recover from this aweful disease and I just keep getting slammed with more crap. Does this stuff ever end?

Angie, I had that problem for a while, and the itch was driving me out of my mind. It turned out that I was allergic to my panty shields! Try switching brands, or try using cloth ones for a while. When I did that the problem went away.

I also tried over the counter medicated creams for yeast infections, with little success. So, it may not be that at all.

OMG I didn't even think of that. The itch got better when I was on my period last week and has persisted since I went back to the pantishields. You may have figured this out for me. I'm going to take the darn thing off right now. Thank you so much and I really hope that's the answer!!

Wow, it sure sounds like the pantishields are the problem. You might want to wait until the rash and itch is all cleared up before trying a different brand.

I just realized something else too. I pealed the pantiliner off and then thought OMG I bet the glue they use to stick those buggers on has gluten in it :o !! I had to go up and change my underwear too, just in case lol!! Maybe I should stay away from them all together, because the glue may even be what's causing a reaction. I hope this does it lol!!

The weird thing is that I had all the nerve damage symptoms before I went Gluten free and since then those symptoms have drastically improved. Even the info the GI specialist gave me on perniciaous anemia said that you should have B12 shots a couple times a day for the first part of it and then taper off to once a month. My B12 level was around 111 I can't remember the exact number but it was over 100 but under 120 and they told me the normal level was above 300. My GI specialist was shocked that my doctor didn't put me on B12 when he found out it was that low, but who knows lol!! The more I read up on B12 the more concerned I get. I've been in the exhaustion phase for years, but now it seems even worse then when I went gluten free, so it's killing me. I can't even get to the store to buy B12 suppliments because I just don't have the energy. I'm still working 50+ hours a week taking my 4 kids to all appointments and sporting events and doing all the housework, yardwork, and laundry UG!! I'm not sure I'm going to last much longer. I'm having unexplained side pains on a daily basis, and I'm very achy in the last couple of weeks. I'm wondering if it's because my B12 shot has worn off and I need more B12. I have a class tonight, so I guess I need to make myself get to the store afterwords and get some B12. All of this is just way too much to deal with

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
