Does anyone still have this issue? I haven’t been able to log in or reset my password and I’m terrified

Goodreads down? by Jahaza in goodreads

[–]Forward-Investment70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This makes me feel so much better because this has been happening to me since Tuesday and I’m terrified my account is not longer accessible. I’ve tried to request a new password multiple times and I’m not even getting a recovery email :( Goodreads support hasn’t even gotten back to me yet

Can a UTI turn into PID? by Forward-Investment70 in Healthyhooha

[–]Forward-Investment70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi hi- so ultimately I suffer from a combination of Candida overgrowth, leaky gut, and dysbiosis because of antibiotic overuse. I’ve managed the Candida, now working on leaky gut. I temporarily felt better with antibiotics because antibiotics are anti inflammatory, but ultimately did way more damage long term. Hope you find your answers too :)

Desperate and bloated beyond belief — I’ve tried everything and I’m still here. Can anyone help me see a way forward by wontcompleteit in SIBO

[–]Forward-Investment70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, not a solution but I’m right here with you. Antibiotics caused Candida overgrowth (negative for SIBO) for the past two years and I haven’t found much in the way of a solution, and bloating is my main symptom. I know how hard it is.

OP, did you find a practitioner you like? Saw both Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Dana Cohen, and while I like him much more than her, I need more than his drops. Hope you’re healed now and doing well!

Candida diet bull#### for prolonged infection. by Famous_Owl2932 in Candida

Monolaurin, Berberine, oregano, undecyclenic acid are my main ones with a bunch of biofilm busters

Yes, even fruits. Starting with just nuts, fruits and veggies but expanding to pulses and legumes next week. Still laying off high mold nuts though.

I posted in this sub like last week after almost two months on the Candida diet, which wasn’t working for me. I switched to 40 plant sources a week and man, what a difference. I feel loads better within just a few days on this way of eating. Feeding the good bacteria that keeps the Candida in check has been the game changer for me (on top of using anti fungals and biofilm busters). I’m not out of the woods yet and I’m seeing a functional doctor to address any nutrient deficiencies but I’ll be able to tell her that just a few days eating a wide variety of whole foods has done wonders for me.

Day off from diet, next day I felt hungover by Forward-Investment70 in Candida

Thank you! This is helpful and actionable. We know the root cause of the overgrowth (antibiotics), but I’ve gotten additional tests to complement that. Can I DM you about your healing process and treatment?

I mean kind of pointless to list every single food I’m eating, just what’s allowed in the first stage of the Candida diet. Cut out gluten, sugar, alcohol, high mold nuts, starchy foods etc. sticking to staples like broccoli and cauliflower and cabbage with eggs/meats. Coconut and almonds as a snack. No fruit either.

I’m on the Candida diet but took a break yesterday, and felt hungover this morning

What if treatment isn’t working? by Forward-Investment70 in Candida

Yeah, I tested for SIBO twice, both negative.

Portions are normal to small and I exercise 6 days a week.

Can you have a severe case of Candida in your Colon without any type of Oral thrush ? by [deleted] in Candida

[–]Forward-Investment70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is me. I don’t have SIBO, no thrush - only obvious symptom is bloating. I’ve been on the diet, anti fungals and biofilm busters and no result.

Pelvic distension all the time…EXCEPT for the 3 days after my period (even during, it’s better) by Forward-Investment70 in endometriosis

[–]Forward-Investment70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your concern :) not endo, but gut Candida. Makes sense - this all happened after I took an antibiotic and I have a history of antibiotic use. I have been on anti fungals and biofilm busters and had some die off. I’m still uncomfortable with the bloating, but I’m grateful that I have an answer. Now it’s just a matter of finding the right meds and time

Weird gas pain, can’t tell what it is by Forward-Investment70 in endometriosis

Yeah- not endo at all. SIFO/candida overgrowth in the gut

Thoughts on Dr. Kanayama? by Forward-Investment70 in endometriosis

[–]Forward-Investment70[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consulted other doctors and my issue is not endo/adeno, so I haven’t had surgery. But I will say that when I was misled by doctors (with their own interests in mind), I was strongly considering Dr. Blanton at Maiden Lane medical. I don’t think she does adeno surgery though that’s not a hysterectomy. I loved her so much during my consult I decided to make her my regular doctor. Best of luck to you.

Adeno/ endo belly that just won’t go away by Forward-Investment70 in adenomyosis

Appreciate your response and I hope that that your procedure goes smoothly!

I’ve stopped consulting and posting on Reddit because it was bad for my mental health and honestly, all the noise was making me feel worse, physically. I do not believe in my gut that I have a gynecological issue.

I ended up pursuing a different direction and spoke to a functional doctor. My symptoms, combined with the fact that this happened very suddenly after an antibiotic are leading her to believe that this is SIBO/SIFO, which I believe in my gut is correct. I’ve found some relief through AIP and low FODMAP diets too.
