Another Question About Candida

I was in the process of treating my candida with Candex, and felt like I was having some results. I have only been on them for about 6 days now. I am also dealing with having teeth pulled, and now I have an infection. I have to take a strong antibiotic. Should I continue with the Candex, or would this be bad since antibiotics make yeast worse. Or, will the Candex interfere with the antibiotics and prevent me from healing? This infection has to get cleared up because of the severe pain I am having. But, I also do not want the Candida to get worse. Not sure what to do??? I WISH that I knew of a Doctor that was actually very familiar with Celiac Disease. Is there such a thing?

Don't know about doctors, and I've no personal experience with Candex. But I had to take very strong anti-biotics for ten days in November in the midst of my candida treatment, and it worked out very well. What I did was to increase significantly my intake of probiotics, while at the same time being very careful about the diet (no sugar, no alcohol, very little carbs, lots of vegetables etc.). At the time, I was taking olive leaf extract and golden seal in addition to the probiotics - and they seemed to work without a problem with the anti-biotics.

(Later on, I've had better canida results with caprylic acid, but that's another thing ...)

Try to find out if there are any counter interactions between the specific ingredients of Candex and the anti-biotics.

If you have to take anti-biotics, you have to take it. Then the rest becomes a question of how to minimize the damage in your guts ....

good luck !

      Looked this up.   Yes, forgiveness and bearing with people is people is vital.

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By cristiana · Posted

      I must admit I've been on both sides.  Before my diagnosis, and in my ignorance, I thought all the special diets we see around us today were unnecessary and people were making a big fuss over nothing.  There is a shop in the small town where I live that sells organic and gluten free food and I used to people walking in and buying things and thought they were being a bit ridiculous spending extra money on what I thought was a fad.  Yet since my diagnosis that shop has been a real lifesaver.  I guess It is hard for people to see the necessity of all this extra effort if they haven't experienced celiac disease either themselves, or in someone they love.  That said, honestly, I have wondered at times if I would have been as understanding had my husband been diagnosed with coeliac disease instead of me. He has been great.  It must be incredibly difficult if your close friends and family aren't supporting you in this way. Following a gluten-free diet can involve a lot of extra hassle and can be expensive, but I do find that the world is so full of people struggling with autoimmune illnesses now, allergies and intolerances, that people are definitely becoming more attuned to things.   Word is getting out there. In 2022 a long-running popular TV series in the UK, Doc Martin, ended with a final case: a patient being diagnosed with coeliac disease.  I don't know if anyone saw it but I was so heartened by that episode, that celiac disease was given centre stage for the last ever programme. The patient in question had been suffering from a horrible rash which turned out to be dermatitis herpetiformis. He also had anemia, felt faint and was plain exhausted.  It would have been good education to anyone watching who didn't know about the disease and they would have been left in no doubt about its seriousness and the need to follow a strict gluten-free diet.  I thought to myself as it ended, well, now, that's another piece in our campaign to make coeliac disease better understood!

      I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten Free but contain Oats, and apparently this is becoming more common. I almost bought some gluten free flour but read that it contained oats. A certain percentage of Celiacs have this complication. I can’t help feeling offended and excluded when others act like I am being “high maintenance”. I am becoming better at being an advocate for myself.  I have had diverticulitis 3 times and each time hospitalized-once, the attending nurse didn’t know what celiac means-she had to research...  If others around me make comments I try to enlighten them, those who don’t get it are not my friends anymore. Be very careful about cross-contamination. I was sick recently for 10 days after a meal was contaminated while I was on holiday. If servers say they have gluten free buns or bread, ask if they use a toaster specifically reserved for gluten-free, or don’t chance it. On a positive note, I didn’t find out I had Celiac Disease until I was 60. Eating a gluten free diet means no more terrible headaches, hives, rashes, intestinal bloating and irregularity, Gastro Intestinal Reflux….when I follow a strict diet and mostly always eat at home, I feel great! I also weeded out “friends” who weren’t worth being around.
