Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I was reading more about yeast overgrowth symptoms to try and determine if my son with UC is dealing with this as well. Several of the symptoms listed are his: Acne, bad breath, mouth ulcers, joint ache, fatigue, dandruff, of course all of the gut issues, sleep disturbance, sore throat and some others. Several of these however come and go. What does it mean when they fluctuate? Actually, several of them are gone or fading but others come and go. I was curious about the blocked saliva glands being an issue and was wondering if increased sweating is a sign of improvement. He works on a farm and just recently commented to how much sweating he is doing which is not normal for him. He becomes drenched in a way that is not common for him…of course 90 degree plus temps are a factor but it still was something unique to his body. Could this be a sign of healing?

Is this tied in with UC in some way? Do all UC sufferers have it? How do you assess if it is an issue for you and does having it slow down the healing power of SCD?

Could this be a sign of healingcould be a sign of die off and getting rid of toxins through sweat or could be a sign of a different UC related problem. have your son take epsom baths, which also helps with getting rid of toxins. you'll have to wait and see if theproblem goes away or keeps on.Mara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
