I have Hashimoto's thyroid. I believe a number a years ago I contracted a yeast infection in gut/intestines. Over time, I have since developed chronic sinusitis/seasonal allergies, though I'm not allergic to anything that can be tested. I also have vaginal infection after doctors last year and this year prescribed antibiotics. The regular doctor I'm seeing doesn't believe in what I have and has sent me to numerous specialists - END, GI, Neuro, etc. The GI doctor prescribed 200 MG of Fluconazole for 2 weeks, which not sure if helped or not. I've tried some of the "Candida Removal" products, but not sure which ones are safe and effective. I've eliminated refined sugars/grains, etc and am eating as cleanly as possible. I just want to know if there is someone in the WI/MN area that is functional and a MD? The worst issue seems to be the chronic sinusitis. There are days when I can barely speak because I'm "clogged up. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have had incredible success with zuma nutritions products. I used the candida cleanse along with gut rebuild. But if you had this for a long time you're going to want to follow their pdf to the T. Which says 90 days. But understanding why your body can't regulate the normal yeasts in your body is the key. Do have and history of serious skin infections or immune deficiency? Been on hard medication? Also their lymphatic cleanse is some that is super important to keep it away. Every time it comes back your lymph systems gets bigger down more and more by the inflammation and toxins. So getting that as good as you can is key to it staying away. A great way to think about this is. When you perform physical activity how easy is it for you to sweat. For me it's always been very hard. I have to have almost maximum exertion in order to sweat. If this sounds like you then fix that lymph system.
There are medications that work but if you are susceptible to recurring infection. It's not in your best interest to take them. Because it will just come back stronger and more resilient to that medication and you'll just have to try a new one and a new one over and over again. You have to find out why it keeps recurring whether it be an immunity issue. A lymphatic system issue, whatever. Obviously you have to get your symptoms under control. For this herbals are better since you basically have to take them long term until you find out why it keeps coming back. The alternative is long term antibiotics and then your biome is gonna be shot and you'll get sick from basically anything.
Welcome to Connect. Candida is a fungus typically found in small amounts in the mouth and intestines and on the skin. When Candida begins to grow uncontrollably, it can cause an infection known as candidiasis. You can read more details here: https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/index.html @ggauerke, would you be able to share a few more details? What symptoms are you experiencing? Since symptoms of candidiasis vary depending on the area of the body that is infected, may I ask what type of candidiasis are you concerned about?
Hi!
In my twenties I had a bad vaginal candida infection and other symptoms such as space’s, gastrointestinal problems,etc. I also had pelvic pain. I gave up sugars and ate a low carb diet for several years and gradually began to heal.. once I started eating sugars and more carbs the pelvic pain came back. Now, in my 60’s, I have constant anal itching and pain inside my left pelvic area upon intercourse. In the past 2 weeks I have returned to a no carb diet and have eliminated the anal itching.. I still feel pain in my left pelvic area but feel like this is healing as well. However, the diet is very difficult to maintain for the long term.
I have a yeast overgrowth in my digestive system as per stool testing through Life Extension. I also recently had a heavy metal test done through Life Extension. I was informed that my mercury levels were quite high. It was implied that my 5 metal fillings that are approximately 40 years old are causing the high mercury levels. My doctor said "everyone has high mercury levels" and did not recommend filling extraction. Perhaps my Hashimoto's disease and yeast overgrowth are affected by the mercury. Just mentioning this as people are wonder what is causing their immune dysfunction. Susan

I had a yeast infection and my doctor prescribed a med which I don’t recall right now. My doctor and dentist both recommended removing the mercury fillings. I’ll be doing that soon. Yes, most of us do have mercury in our system. But that doesn’t mean you should not do something about it. Infrared saunas where you sweat a lot also help our bodies detox from metals, not just mercury.

Also for reference mouth swabs are false negatives 25-45 percent of the time with candida.
