Yeast

[Guest guest]

,

I am about to start the Nystatin with my twins. How much does your son

weigh and what dose/frequency are you on?

irritable, hyper, silly, crying easily, upset alot. He's been on the stuff

almost 2 weeks and I almost was thinking of quitting. He used to have

really bad behavior before the diet and I was afraid we were headed back

there again. However, he is starting to get calmer and happier so I will

continue. I spoke to Pam at Great Plains Lab and she said this was all

normal and could last for a few weeks. Good Luck.

Both. Dissacharide sugars are difficult to digest into monosaccharide sugars for

people with intestinal ailments, but people who, do to slow gastric emptying, or

inability to absorb medium chain fatty acids and other related problems, often

have yeast feeding off the monosaccharide sugars as well.

Dissacharide are the biggest problem to address for most intestinal problems.

yeast loves the sugars in grapes which are predominantly simple i

think

the issue is how long do the sugars hang around in the gut enabling

yeast to feed much longer and build up numbers

as the gut only can absorb simple sugars then complex sugars have to

be broken down first enabling the yeast to and bacteria to tuck in

for a long time and mutate and colonise other tissue

So what carbs would you suggest for someone who has the slow gastric

emptying? I have gastroparesis, and it seems to me that ANY sugar I eat

causes problems.'

This may help explain things for you. God Bless you Antoinette....here it is:

HONEY Why can have honey and fruit on SCD despite the yeast?.

There are two reasons for this.

1)Honey has predigested sugars which are most likely to cross the

intestinal absorptive surface into the blood steam and thereby be

inaccessible for intestinal yeast and bacteria.(From Elaine)

2)The yeast lives in a biofilm inside our intestines.Biofilms are

comprised of a primary layer of bacteria that provide an attractive

environment for other bacteria and larger organisms

The yeast cannot flourish in our gut without the other gut pathogens

If we cut down on the other gut pathogens with SCD then the yeast

cannot do well.

Below are excerpts from this website:

http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/Education/biofilm/intro.htm#intro<about:blank>

What Are Biofilm Communities? Biofilms are a hot topic in microbiology

today. Scientists are studying the ways bacterial colonies form these

slimey layers, which can be resistant to antiobiotics and the immune

system, in hopes that new information will help us understand how the

layers form, adhere to surfaces, and how they can be prevented.

Biofilms moved to the forefront of microbiology after a 1994 case that

involved the infection of hundreds of asthmatics. It was found that

all the asthmatics used the same inhalant contaminated with a

bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium was able to

survive the routine disinfection of the inhalant during manufacturing

by forming a biofilm comprised of many colonies. The contaminated

inhalers contained pieces of the biofilm which were transported

directly to the lung tissue by the asthmatics. In the lung tissue the

Pseudomonas biofilm was able to flourish. One hundred people died from

the biofilm infection, a dramatic example of the danger posed by some

bacterial biofilms.

Biofilms can be found in many areas of the human body and the

environment. Teeth, intestines, medical devices, contact lenses,

drainage pipes, and the bottoms of ships. The common demoniator is all

the biofilms are comprised of a primary layer of bacteria that provide

an attractive environment for other bacteria and larger organisms.

Biofilms found on the hull of a ship consist of large organisms like

barnacles, mussels, and host of other zooplankton and phytoplankton.

These biofilms slow a ship and are expensive to remove and prevent.

Current methods to prevent biofilm formation on ships include a wide

variety of toxic marine paints. However, these paints tend to wear off

and biofilms which are resistant form on them without regard to the

toxins.

From Elaine:

For those who are terribly worried about honey, I would say, " start

very slowly " and try it out.

WHY COOKED FRUITS CAN BE EATEN IF A CHILD HAS YEAST

Elaine Gottschall wrote:

If there is an overgrowth of yeast in the bowel, the fruit sugars

should not be feeding them, especially if the fruits are cooked. It is

only the sugars and starches that are not broken down and absorbed

which get to the lower bowel to feed the microbes (yeast and

bacteria). The sugars in fruit are contained within a cell surrounded

by a " fence " cell wall of cellulose which is rigid. When they are

given raw, often the milking action of the small intestine cannot

sufficiently milk out the sugars because of the rigid cell wall and

they are passed on to the lower bowel to feed microbes.

By softening the cell wall with cooking, we will avoid this. I have

seen too many children recover with a balanced diet with the valuable

nutrients of fruits to outlaw fruits.

If you want to experiment, fine. I find I must prioritize each step of

the way and to give up fruit because of the fruit sugar does not sit

well with me because of what I have said above.

Furthermore, the gurues who suggest this often allow grains which are

so bad because the starch is all sugar which is unlikely to be broken

down and absorbed and will feed and overfeed the lower bowel microbes.

INTRODUCING FRUIT

From Two Posts by Sheila:

If you decide to try fruit you should start with cooked, peeled,

deseeded fruit like homemade applesauce or pear sauce. Ripe bananas

(lots of spots on the peel) are also good to start with. When she is

handling that okay then try peeled raw fruit like apple. The most

important thing is to go slow adding new things so you can judge if

she tolerates them well and also in case she does have a reaction that

it won't take to long to rebound from setbacks.

Sheila, SCD 25 mos, UC 20 yrs

This may sound a bit weird but since doesn't tolerate any seeds

yet if I am going to give him strawberries I actually cut off the

seeds on the outside and then slice up the rest. I have also been

known to peel grapes for him. He does okay with raw apple but only if

I peel that also. Raw pineapple goes right through but legal canned

pineapple seems okay.

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

Definition: \Car`bo*hy " drate\, n. [Carbon + hydrate.] (Physiol.

Chem.)

One of a group of compounds including the sugars, starches,

and gums, which contain six (or some multiple of six) carbon

atoms, united with a variable number of hydrogen and oxygen

atoms, but with the two latter always in proportion as to

form water; as dextrose, {C6H12O6}.

---------------------

i think in terms of specific foods rather than categories, like carb

is pretty general and encompasses a lot of illegal scd stuff

i don't have any sugar or honey

you have to pick up enzymes and things like candex and oreganol, i

can post but you know..................

i have lived enough years to know that nothing is more doomed than

approaching things from just one angle

Hi Becky,

Yes, I am having problems off and on under both and in the groin. This happens right after my IV of solu-medrol once a month and very frustrating. I found an over the counter cream for yeast and have been using that. My doctor also gave me a prescription for diflucan when it gets really bad. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

[Guest guest]

I continue to have a problem with a yeast infection under my left breast (never the right) that extends towards my underarm. This is the same side my AICD was put in. I keep it clean and dry and even have used topical ointment. I know the immunosuppressants are probably the culprit but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so what have you done.Blessings,Becky

Becky, do you use OTC fungal creams? If so, and they temporarily clear up the rash, I would use them prophylactically (hope I spelled that one right!), even every day. If the OTC stuff doesn't do the job, ask your doctor for a prescription strength cream. Also, I don't remember if you are diabetic, but if your blood sugars are elevated even a little, you will be more prone to fungal infections.

The weird thing is that before I had sarc, I used to get all kinds of fungal infections. Lots of vaginal yeast infections, tinea (a skin rash that clears up with Selsun Blue shampoo), toenail fungus, ringworm, and intertrigo (rash in skin folds). But after taking immune suppressants for years, and being on continual antibiotics for nearly a year for persistent urinary tract infection, I've only had one mild outbreak of intertrigo. Isn't that odd?

Kat, have you tried starting the cream a day or two before your infusion? Back when I had trouble with yeast, I used to get a vaginal infection after every period. So I started using the cream near the end of each period for a couple of days, and most of the time never got the vaginal yeast infection.

Hi Rose,I have used it all. Saw a dermatologist and she gave me an Rx for a stronger cream. Problem with Diflucan (urologist gave me that as a one time 150mg dose) is that I take Zocor and the two aren't supposed to be used together (even within days). My pcp doesn't want me to stop the Zocor and the urologist wants me to use the diflucan! THe fungal cream isn't even supposed to be used with the Zocor. I'm really at a loss. This last yeast worsening (only under my left breast and towards my arm) came after 5 days on levaquin for a UTI. Maybe I should try the Selsun Blue!Blessings,BeckyRose wrote: Becky, do you use OTC fungal creams?

Well, Selsun Blue works for tinea; I don't know about any other fungal infections. Another thing you might try that some of my patients have used when they didn't want to take drugs, is yogurt. Make sure it's live culture yogurt. I've not known anyone to try it for intertrigo, but it works well for vaginal yeast infections, so it's probably worth a try. Another thing that you probably know, but others may not, is to use a hairdryer, on a cool or just warm setting, to dry the affected skin. It gets it drier than a towel.

Also, are you sure that it's fungal? A fungal skin infection is usually bright red with what are called satellite lesions--smaller bright red spots just beyond the border of the rash. You parents might remember your babies having a diaper rash like this. It's miserable; itches intensely. But Becky, if it's not really a fungal rash, obviously the antifungals won't work. Another problem is that some varieties of yeast are drug-resistant. Diflucan often becomes ineffective against yeast.

A couple of other things to try are Desitin ointment, again after thoroughly drying the skin; using something absorbent between the contact points on the skin, especially with heat & perspiration aggravating it. Yeast love warm, moist places. That's great if you are baking bread, but not so great on/in our bodies. A last resort that might work is to brown some flour in a skillet. An iron skillet works best, but aluminum will work too. I've never tried it in a non-stick skillet. Just put some flour in the dry skillet, use fairly high heat, & stir constantly until the flour is well-browned. Be careful not to burn it. Let it cool, then apply to dry skin like talcom powder. Don't laugh! When my son Brad was a baby, he once got a terrible diaper rash & nothing was helping, not even constant exposure to air. My mother-in-law, "Granny," was visiting, and she browned some flour. I thought it was crazy, but was willing to try anything. It worked like magic! I've used it occasionally over the years for a stubborn heat rash. Never tried it on yeast, but hey! can't hurt, might help.

Oh, another thing that might help is wet tea bags. They aren't antifungal, but they have tannic acid, which has excellent healing properties. I don't think it matters what kind of tea; I always used the generic tea bags. Just wet them & apply for 15-20 min. at a time. (I probably wouldn't use them to make tea later, unless you are really desperate.)

If I think of anything else, I'll post it. Hope you feel better soon.

Rose,You have some really good ideas! I do eat the yogurt (always loved it). The dermatologist actually saw it and dx yeast. It's not vaginal but just under my left breast and extends to my arm. It gets really red and shiny. At its worst it smells horrible esp when I apply the antifungal cream (don't mean to gross anyone out). The derm told me the same thing about using a hairdryer after my showers. It's really weird and is painful (doesn't itch...hurts). Right now it's red and shiny but not hurting since I put the OTC cream on it last night. I have had so many antibx since Jan b/c of the numerous UTI's and added to that the cellcept and prednisone and I think that's what has caused the problem. It is odd that it's only on the AICD side. Thanks Rose for some ideas. I'm getting desperate.Blessings,BeckyRose wrote: Well, Selsun Blue works for tinea; I don't know about any other fungal infections.

Rose,

I had a hysterectomy in 2000 and I just get the red skin which does have an awful smell in the groin area and slightly underneath the breasts. I have used the hair dryer in both places and the OTC yeast cream and the powder I have work great. I even invested in a spray this last month. With being diabetic and the high prednisone, yeast thrives most especially with the summer months. But, when it gets too out of control my MD knows I know enough to call for a refill of the diflucan to get it under control again which is every few months. I am now down to rotating 12/11 mg of prednisone and the IV is being stretched to 5 weeks and then hopefully 6 weeks as I started this in January. All in all I am getting better a little bit at a time and working 8 hours and taking care of my yardwork etc. My job at work is very high stress and I know when I get dizzy to walk away and have a cup of coffee and try to relax.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Becky,

My dermatologist gave me a script for Ketaconazole tablets, and told me to take them with a can of Pepsi. The acids in the Pepsi increase the action of the meds. It really helped. The problem is back now- but at least I know what to do.

The other thing that helps me is Liquid Acidophylus-- or even the acidophylus tablets you get in the refrigerated section of the health food store.

It replaces the good bacteria, so that your body is in better balance. It also stops diarrhea better than any of the medications.

No side effects either.

Take care,

Hi Tracie,The problem with the keta tablets is that I take Zocor. The two aren't suppose to be taken within days of each other (per my drs and the pharmacist) My pcp doesn't want me to stop the Zocor and the urologist wants me to take the diflucan. If this gets any worse I'm going to stop the Zocor and take the antifungal tab. I don't have diarrhea but the liquid acidophylus is a great idea to get my body back in balance. I'll get some asap!

When I stated taking the 7 IV antibiotics and two oral antibiotics the pharmacist told us to get Probiotic capsules from the drug store, They are the strongest you can buy, you only need to take two capsules each day and they are terrific. They cost about $25 for a bottle of 250capsules and they have no side effects.

Zocor is primarily to keep your arteries clear of cholestrol. If you were to stop it for a week or so, and then go back on it-- that would give you the time to use the Diflucan and get the yeast under control-- as we all know, candida can become a systemic problem, and you don't want that. Then get back on the Zocor.

If you get that yeast out of your system, you'll have more energy also.

Thanks Tracie. I smell like a loaf of bread!!! My daughter went to Publix to get the liquid acidophilus but they don't have it. The pharmacist said they could order the tablet form. How much have you taken before? Blessings,Beckytiodaat@... wrote: Becky, Zocor is primarily to keep your arteries clear of cholestrol.
