Hi there fellow seekers.I am writing to share my experience. I feel lucky to have found this forum.
I went to the doctor today. I had been feeling sick for about two weeks. Today I was actualy feeling better. My symptoms were abdominal pain, diahrea, gas, a burning sensation, joint pain, pain after eating, gurgling in the gut, confusion and anxiety.
I told the doctor I had had no previous diagnosis, though I had seen a GE in the past for colitis like symptoms. He is having me take some tests and told me to take Florastor and gave me a sample.
I told him that I had taken high doses of vitamin c (7-10 grams/day) right before this happened. I did not mention that I had a colonic also and afterwards watched what looked like my stomach lining( a reddish brown mucus-y thing) wash down the toilet.
He is testing me for IBD,Giardia,Celiac, parasite and some standard blood stuff.
He said to call for results in a week and that he thinks I "got a bug".
No colonoscopy, no endoscopy. It was reassuring. I don't know what some of the tests are for. I doubt the parasite or celiac(stool) tests can be considered conclusive. For one thing, I stopped eating gluten years ago.
I am finding the thing that helps the most is learning what I can and following some of the tried and true methods I learned about here. Going to the doctor made my family feel better, though.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,800,870The medication my doctor gave me, florastor, says in the description it is a good yeast-freeze dried and in order for it to be effective, I cannot take antifungals.
For Leaky gut/candida, I take Colloidal Silver , oregano oil, coconut oil and just started taking calendula tea. These all seem effective but I am thinking of trying florastor. I plan t post my results. I am guessing florastor works like kefir, populating the gut with good yeast, though Florastor must be taken with a probiotic. Here's a list of some useful herbs for candida/LGS.
Bayleaf-antifungal
Cinnamon-antibacterial
Fennel-antispasmodic
Garlic-antimicrobial,antifungal
Tarragon-antifugal
Oregano Oil-antifungal
Barberry-antifungal,source of Lipase
Goldenseal-antifungal
Calendula-antiseptic,antibacterial,antifungal
Nutmeg-aids digestion
Peppermint-for bloating,gas
Rosemary-aids digestion, good for liver and circulation
Ginger-relieves bloating, detoxes and strengthens
Pau d Arco-antifungal properties
Coconut oil-inhibits fungal growth
Tumeric-antiinflammatory, prmotes bile

This is a reply to # 1,801,105Florastor IS a probiotic. I don't know why you would take one in addition to it. I took it for a while and it did nothing for me, but everyone is different. Have you done any bowel cleansing? If your bowel is toxic, and looking at the problems you are having my guess is that it is, then nothing else will clear it up unless you get rid of the toxins in your bowel. I plan on doing a Bowel Cleanse starting tomorrow and then adding in a parasite cleanse.

Yes, 7 to 10 grams of Vit C may have caused the diarrhea. I have read that smaller doses taken over time are more beneficial.
Your lab tests for CD may come back with no elevated autoantibodies or confusing results because you have been avoiding gluten. Better results are gotten if a person consumes a small amount of gluten long enough for the autoantibody level rise to detectable levels. You might want to go to the Celiac.com Forums to ask people there what diet they were put on before testing.
A much more sensitive test of bowel bacteria, yeasts, parasites, metabolic balance and gluten sensitivity is offered by Metametrix Labs enteric effects panel.

This is a reply to # 1,800,870Just to let you know, most parasite tests come back negative even when a person has them. I have had many medical doctor parasite tests which all came back normal but when I saw a person specializing in this kind of thing who was not a medical doctor, he sent the blood, urine and stool to a specific lab who knows how to properly test such things and it came back with roundworm parasites. You should find yourself a good naturopath who knows what he or she is doing.

This is a reply to # 1,801,181If my body is healthy, parasites will not thrive. if I don't eat gluten, I will be healthy. Sorry to be over simplified. I am assuming that I have celiac and parasites regardless of any test results.
Need to heal my gut, now and I can worry about other stuff if it becomes an issue. Angelo to answer your question yes I have done bowel cleansing and I guess my colon probably was toxic otherwize this wouldn't have happened. I think part of the point of mega dosing vitamin c is to cleanse the bowels. The point of good yeast or good bacteria is to put back or to try and colonize the gut with healthy things that crowd out the bad things.
I am going to give the florastor a try. But I will also try other things. I am hoping that the pain in my stomach will go away. I will see how it goes.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,801,347I wanted to report my progress. I have been taking Florastor for a few days and it seems to be helping. My stomach ache is mostly gone. I can now eat solid food with no pain after eating. I am on the candida diet and eat only vegetables and some protien-fish, eggs or meat(organic). I am avoiding any foods that I am sensitive to.
I also take a probiotic in the morning. I also take tumeric and fennel.
I try to have a fresh green juice every day. I also eat cultured vegetables that I made with meals often. Even though my stomach was damaged by taking large amounts of something that as it turns out I am allergic to (acerola), I believe I have cronic candia that became much worse due to this incident.
Warning-graphic description. Today I passed some 4 inch long strands. They were thin mucus-y and yellowish white in color.
I thought it could be worms but they looked similar to candida strands that can be seen in the cure zone gallery.
I have been having mild side effects from the Florastor like getting thirsty but I feel it is very helpful.

This is a reply to # 1,802,885They sent me to Lab Corp. The doctor I saw was nice but he seemed more concerned about possible genetic reasons for my being ill. I know that I would need to see someone better to find out about parasites, etc if I was looking for a more accurate diagnosis. For sure I have candida and something is working because lots of stuff is coming out (sorry).
