Re: lyme disease/ bell's palsy in gut

[Guest guest]

Yes it is the same doctor. I had originally taken my son to him. But now I am looking for myself regarding my stubborn yeast overgrowth. I just had my GP agree to give me a double dosage of Diflucan and see if that helps.

I found that eggs , carrots and nuts irritate my mouth.

I wish I knew what to eat and what to avoid.

Right now I am eating lots of yogurt, may be too much, I don't know, bananas,and chicken.

My stools are formed, but greyish looking. I do not know if it is as a result of eating so much yogurt.

If only someone could guide me, that would help a lot.

My yeast/fungi is mostly seen in my mouth, with a thick white/yellowish layer on my tongue, gums etc.but it is in my whole system for sure, as my stomach gets queasy after I took probiotics. They just do not agree with me, that is the reason I upped the amount of yogurt, but again I do not know if it is the right thing to do.

Thanks for whoever can give me some solid advice,

Anorganic acids [urine] test. These tests measure the levels of toxinsreleased by clostridia, anerobic bacteria in general and fungus. I wasdiagnosed with a huge overgrowth of clostridia (don't know what strainbecause the test doesn't identify specific strains, only genuses; it doesn'tculture the bacteria, it only reveals the toxins they release) andsuccessfully treated with flagyl. Another test used to detect c. diff is ablood test that reveals antibodies to various pathogenic bacteria, includingclostridia. Its called an ulcerative colitis blood test panel.In addition, writes:I have just heard that metametrix labs will let people outside the US ordertheir test directly. Just to review what I have written about c. diff testsa number of times now, there are THREE ways to diagnose it; 1) stool(traditional test-- hard to get a postive) 2) urine 3) blood (antibodies).Holistic MDs use the latter 2 tests and consider

them much more reliable.Metametrix uses the urine test which tests for the TOXINS c. diff gives off.It also tests for yeast and other bacterial toxins. So the test will tellyou 1) if you have c. diff and if so, how much of an overgrowth 2) if youhave yeast overgrowth 3) if you have bacterial overgrowth. 4) whether yourovergrowth is more fungal or bacterial, i.e. the ratio.What the test does NOT tell you :1) What strain of yeast you might have2) What other strains of bacteria it is picking up (besides c. diff).Also, Metametrix cannot give you a prescription. So this test would bepurely informational for you.**Pam Ferro Nurse in Cape Cod area: wrote:Has the stool been tested?

If it'scandida, it's definitely hormonally related - I suffered endlessly with itin my 20s until I read some self-help books by Kilmartin (try Amazon).Try

these: * Above all, see a doctor and explain your symptoms, preferablyat a genito-urinary clinic where they aren't squeamish about examining you.If you have a sexual partner/s, take them along - thrush can be transferredback and forth, with only one of you showing symptoms. * The doctor will probably prescribe Nystan, Diflucan or some such treatment, which may be a combination of oral treatment, cream and pessaries. In the absence of this, live yoghurt inserted into the vagina with an applicator may hhelp (though I've not found it useful once thrush has really taken hold) * Don't have sexual intercourse while the tissue is inflamed. If you really must, usecondoms to prevent transfer of thrush spores to your partner * Cut as much sugar out of your diet as possible - don't eat things like fruit, especiallybananas * Add vinegar to your bath (bathe, don't shower) * Don't use any product on your perineal area that contains

perfume or colouring. Thisincludes pant liners, toilet paper, baby wipes, etc * Never touch your perineal area with soap, EVER. Instead, use plain water, vinegar water or emulsifying ointment - it's sold by pharmacies and is a paraffin-wax based water soluble cream with no colour or scent. If they don't stock it, ask if they have anything similar - this is a British product * Don't wear trousers or jeans, EVER, only wear skirts* Don't wear tights (panty hose) - wear stockings * Leave off underwear whenever you can (the objective of all of the above is to keep the perineal area cool) * Change to pure cotton briefs. These must be washed at high temperatures to kill spores. Use a hypoallergenic wash powder or pure soap flakes, do a double rinse, and don'tuse fabric softener. If you have to wash at a low temperature, iron thecrotch area of your knickers with a hot iron. * I would also avoid tampons. If you must use them, put a drop of

vinegar on the end before insertion and change them frequently. * If you have the habit of perching on a chair or stool at work with your perineum hard against the seat, learn to sit back, open your legs and let some air get in there!* If you are prone to candida, you must avoid antibiotics like the plague. That's all I can remember for now, but all this will surely help. There is nothing quite as exquisitelyawful as the misery of thrush, so good luck, sisters. Trish SCD 13 months.

Now on SCD, I notice that my yeast problems are much reduced- almost nonexistant. Most of the remaining issues I have can be attributedto monthly female hormone fluctuations, likely not an issue for men. :-) I usedprobiotic supplement called "Custom Probiotics". It has to be ordered by phone and involves shipping and freezer storage. When I run out or am travelling, I use an alternative product made by Nature's Way (available at my local Whole Foodsmarket) called "Primadophilus Reuteri". No bifidus in it. My doc haspproved this one as well, but I can't assert that it's 100% SCD safe.Another tip

for yeast infections is to limit sugars -- i.e. less honey andfewer high sugar fruits. Yeast seems to thrive on sugar, at least accordingto my doctor.

I plan to use the homeopathy until it's gone, andcontinue with GSE to keep it from coming back. Do an online search fornatural cures and treatment for Candida (or "candida diet"), and you shouldcome across some other helpful advice...especially what foods to avoid(because dried fruit is legal on SCD but not for a candida diet, but for themost part, SCD is very helpful compared to SAD.)
