Yeast Overgrowth

[Guest guest]

Hey TC I admire your persistence and it must have been difficult

sometimes due to the increased lack of patience, sleep, energy and everything

that was against you. I have heard of people receiving results from herbal

remedies and I believe that irrigation with sea salt and bicard soda helps

within the arsenal of fighting power. It may be you have some oregano etc in

the herbs as well.

I have recently confirmed, I have a definite problem with yeast

having drunk some protein power with it in and suffered sore headache/sinuses for

three days afterwards. Also some beer/lager that may be cheap, produced

quickly, used large amounts of yeast, maybe the yeast hasn´t  expended yet etc

etc causes large problems as well. A good example would be to try wheat beer

and see the results as well.

Anyway please keep us up to date with your progress.

Hi all-

I don't usually write or respond much but do get lots of

valuable information from you all so thank you. I expect I may be

asking more questions in the near future with my impending 1st surgery and

ASA desens coming in May and June respectively.

Anyway, as a last ditch effort to try to reduce the polyps

as naturally as possible, I went to see a doctor of naprapathy last week who

said I have a yeast overgrowth - he did some adjustments and gave me a myriad

of different things to take including heavy doses of garlic, this special

medicinal tea made from different herbs, probiotics and a mix of sea salt and

baking soda to irrigate with. In addition, I have stopped taking in any

yeast and increased my yogurt. Anyway, I have been living with this for

6 1/2 years and diagnosed about 2 years ago. I have been having and

nursing children in this time so I did not have any surgeries and would

refuse to take different medications (singulair, prednisone, etc.) in order

to not pass off the drug to my children. During this time I only had

one treatment of antibiotics for sinus infection, however, I don't think I had

one. Anyway, because of this my polyps have now taken over every sinus

cavity and are just about ready to come out the front of my nose. I

have had complete blockage for about a year now but have lived with it as I

am just weaning my youngest from breastfeeding.

With all this said, I have been taking the herbs, etc for

about 5 days now and have had partial opening (for only part of the day) in

one of my nostrils and the pressure in my nose has diminished somewhat.

So far it hasn't been an overnight miracle but it feels like there may be

some help it can provide. I am wondering if anyone else has tried to

treat for a yeast overgrowth, if they have had any relief and if anyone has

any other information that would be helpful regarding this. I am just

really not looking forward to the myriad of drugs that the doctors are

already prescribing in order to manage the samters and not taking into

consideration how it will affect the rest of my body or mind for that

matter. I am sure I will have more questions to come as my first

surgery is scheduled for mid may.

thank you in advance for your responses,

TC

TC, keep us posted on the anti-fungal herbal rememdies and how they help your

symptoms. It seems that most of us are interested in a multi-faceted approach

(i.e. natural and western rememdies) to Samter's.

I find the variety of symptoms in this group so interesting. For me, the

low-sal diet didn't stop polyp growth at all, but avoiding wheat, beer, red

wine, and taking fish oils I believe slowed their return. I am now adding

Boswellia herb to the mix, and I am trying to stick to the Dr. Weil

anti-inflammatory diet (which I know wouldn't work for some of you). I'd love

to believe that the right combination of diet, herbs, and medicines would kick

Samter's in the pants. It bothers me that my ENT and allergist are so negative

about alternative therapies--you would think they would want us to get better,

and would encourage to try whatever works. Oh well.

Cheers,

It should not bother you that your doctors do not support

alternative or natural remedies. Most of these alternative or natural

remedies have no basis in scientific fact or scientific research. Therefore,

in this land of lawsuits, your doctors are simply doing a CYA and not

supporting something that they cannot back up based on research. What if someone

asks a doctor about a natural remedy, the doc tells them it is a great idea,

then it doesn’t work or worse yet, makes them worse, then the patient is

mad and possibly sues the doctor depending on how bad they end up. There are

a lot of harmful “natural” remedies out there. There are also

a lot of natural remedies that are the equivalent of sugar pills. Supplements

are not regulated and therefore you have no real way of knowing what is in the

remedy you take. It is entirely possible certain supplements can have a

benefit because there is a beneficial chemical present but the levels are not

controlled in any way so one batch or company’s pills might work great

and another might not. It is entirely legal to put grass clippings in a

capsule and sell it as an all-natural herbal remedy, so long as no one dies

after taking it. There are just too many question marks present when it

comes to alternative remedies that most doctors would not want to go

there. Doctors prescribe drugs because there is scientific evidence that

they work and the drug makers employ strict quality control guidelines so you

know that 10mg Singulair really has 10mg of the active drug in it. This

should not discourage you from seeking alternate therapies, just be away there

are a lot of scams out there and make sure you do your research first to make

sure you won’t have an adverse reaction to an alternate therapy. As

I have pointed out on this list before, willow bark is an all-natural headache

remedy, but if most of us took willow bark, we’d end up at least wheezing

and at worst in the hospital because it contains aspirin!

What are the symptoms of yeast overgrowth? any ideas..

A yeast overgrowth is a tricky thing...

It is not always fool proof, but you can do a stool culture, to see if there is

yeast in the stool.

One symptom (this may not apply to all, but at least for some) is food

sensitivities.

A book to get out of the library, which explains more about yeast is:

The Yeast Connection by Crook

There are many books and websites dedicated to yeast issues that can be helpful.

Again how one person reacts to yeast, may be very different than another,

but it is good to learn about how it effects the body's systems.

What are the symptoms of yeast overgrowth? any ideas..

[Guest guest]

I hope I can help - my son was diagnosed with ASD and now apraxia. Yeast is an

issue for a lot of kids with leaky guts and compromised immune systems. Here's

what another mom told me and a number of her descriptions applied to my son:

Many of our kids suffer from an overgrowth of Candida Albicans (sp?)

It's a fungal infestation that exists in the GI tract and often

elsewhere.

In the GI tract, overgrowth causes gas, bloating, abdominal

pains and serious carb cravings!

Elsewhere in the body it can cause

sinus infections, skin rashes, ear infections, brain fog, athlete's

foot, " yucky " fugus nails, vaginal yeast infections, jock itch, and

probably more that I am forgetting.

It can mess up sleep, cause bed

wetting, problems toilet training, constipation, an other behavior

problems. (my son becomes defiant, more likely to tantrum, clingy, bed

wets and wakes up rediculously early).

Everyone has some " yeast " but if there is not enough " good " gut flora,

these " bad guys " over take everything and cause quite a mess.

I also found this and really liked how they worded the information:

In a healthy balanced state, a person can have millions of Candida

microorganisms that are in fact beneficial to our inner terrain. As long as our

internal system maintains a proper acid-alkaline balance, our auto-immune

function is strong and the probiotic friendly bacteria (such as Lactobacillus

acidophilus, B. bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus

and L. salivarius) are greater in relation to the number of Candida

microorganisms in our intestinal tract, Candida is kept under control.

However, when our internal system is compromised by either a weakened immune

system, the loss of friendly bacteria, or when our blood becomes toxic and

acidic, the perfect environment for Candida yeast overgrowth develops.

Similar to other health conditions, Candida yeast infection is an environment

triggered by several primary factors and secondary factors and the correlation

between both. There are factors and co-factors that contribute to

Candida overgrowth, and there are causative agents that aggravate an already

compromised yeast infection condition.

There are also lifestyle factors, external bodily factors and psychological/

mental factors that directly or indirectly shape the environment in which the

production of Candida gets out of control and this manifests in a variety of the

common yeast infection symptoms.

Candida overgrowth is in fact a condition that derives from an inner state of

imbalance where Candida albicans transforms from a simple, harmful and

noninvasive yeast to a mycelial fungal form that invades the rest of your body.

When Candida shifts from yeast to fungal form, it produces root-like structures

called rhizoids that penetrate the intestinal walls and create holes in the

walls of the intestines. This enables the yeast, toxic waste, bacteria and

undigested food to enter the blood stream. This enables the yeast, toxic waste,

bacteria and undigested food to enter the blood stream causing many unpleasant

and often dangerous conditions such as: leaky gut syndrome, severe rashes, brain

fog, acid reflux, memory loss, joint pain and severe inflammation and yeast in

the sinuses and lungs.

The primary factors that lead to Candida yeast infection overgrowth are:

Poor dietary choices and improper acid-alkaline balance

Weakened immune system

Accumulation of toxins in the digestive tract

Loss of friendly probiotic bacteria.

These 4 factors create the prefect environment for Candida Albicans to multiply

and transform from yeast to fungal form.

Having hormonal imbalance (such as during menstruation), taking antibiotics,

prescription medications, steroids and birth control pills can also trigger an

onset of yeast infection. Lifestyle factors such as stress, hygiene, sexual

activity and even the type of clothes that you wear can aggravate an already

compromised Candida condition.

Yeast infection and one of its most common symptoms, vaginal yeast infection, is

first and foremost a internal condition that is triggered by more than one

factor and therefore is very difficult to control. This is one of the reasons

why doctors still find this chronic condition so hard to eliminate using

prescription drugs and over-the-counters.

In fact, every health problem including vaginal yeast infection is

multidimensional. In order to eradicate the disease from the root, instead of

tackling the manifestation of the condition (or the infected parts externally),

one must adopt a holistic multidimensional approach. This is the only safe,

natural and effective long-term solution for Candida yeast infection.

is a medical researcher, certified nutritionist, health consultant

and author of the #1 best-selling e-book, " Yeast Infection No More-Open The Door

To A Candida Free Life " . has written dozens of holistic health articles

and has been featured in ezines and print magazines, as well as on hundreds of

websites worldwide.

Jane, a good and tasty probiotic is miso soup. Get fresh miso at Vitamin

Cottage or Whole Foods (or better, an Asian grocery if you can find one). I

love miso so much, I just put a dollop in a mug and add hot water. This is a

bit too strong for some people, however, so you can look up some recipes. I

have very few problems with antibiotics, but I've always tried to counter them

with yogurt, and more recently with miso soup.

Incidentally, with my last bout of prednisone, I skipped the antibiotic because

I was going on vacation, and didn't want to abstain from alcohol AND have my BCP

not work (sorry, tmi). I took SinusEase (which contains bromelain) and papaya

chewables, and the sinus infection went away. Also, I didn't neti for two weeks

on vacation--none of the hotels had hot water! I did surprisingly well, must

have been the humidity that helped everything drain out. Too bad I cannot

tolerate humid climates!

You ready for school?

Becca

Vitamin Cottage! It's in the " sinus/allergy " section of their supplement, and

the papaya is in the " digestive " section.

way. Has anyone come up with a particular natural remedy that they use to

combat the chronic yeast that comes with using antibiodics on a regular

basis? Thanks for sharing any helpful remedies you may have had success

with as I'm sure this will not be my last course of antibiodics!

You know we're supposed to work are brains by doing crossword puzzles and such. I am a teacher and have been off of work all summer. I definitely understand what you mean about the brain slowing down when you don't work! I have to go back to work in 2 weeks and am hoping I find the "on" switch for my brain by then!

Jane, that sounds all too familiar. Each time I’m put on any antibiotics my pharmacists suggests I take a medication called ‘Inner Health Plus’ which is a probiotic (http://innerhealth. com.au/) and undoubtedly I should take it more often as well but the price is the issue. It’s not exactly cheap and does have a very short shelf life – must be kept in the refrigerator at all times too.

Be nice to find something a little less expensive though.

Here is a topic that I'm not sure we've discussed much, but a Naturopath that I am newly working with feels that yeast overgrowth becomes a chronic biproduct for those of us who live on the antibiodic/predniso ne cycle. Certainly us females experience the yeast infections that come with constant use of antibiodics, but there is also the fungus that many of us get deep in our sinuses. I am again on a short course of an antibiodic for a sinus infection and I, therefore, know that the yeast infection is on the way.
