Overwhelming fatigue, dizziness, nausea, night sweats, brain fog, heart palpitations, confusion, difficulty concentrating, stomach cramps, hot flushes, chills, metallic taste, insomnia, difficulty in waking up and difficulty in finding words. Does it sound familiar? I’ve been experiencing these symptoms for the last 3 years. They have started suddenly, they vary in their strength but they never let go. Every day is a struggle and on the days when symptoms worsen I think of death kindly. Doctors provide no help - as long as your tests do not show anything quite abnormal you are not sick f ...

I’ve been passing stools for the past month that appear to have white bits inside them and generally look abnormal from a typical stool (as if food isn’t being digested properly and lots of mucus).

About two months ago with this started I had gastroenteritis (campylobacter bacteria) but I don’t know to what degree that has a connection with my new symptoms. At this point I’ve basically cut out a lot of bad stuff in my diet and it’s helping me pass bigger and better stools, but t ... [Image Embedded Here]

All, I suffered from what this community calls ”fecal body odor” from the age of 15-18/19. I actually think I found this message board all those years ago. I’m now 26 and 100% cured and never once have had a reoccurrence. I remember how my life was back then and how it is now and it is a complete turn around. When I finally figured out what my problem was and got to a place where I could sit in a room and have a normal conversation, be treated like a normal person, I literally cried of happiness. Story: Around 15 years old, I started to get comments about odor. I wasn’t sure if it w ...

Started introduing a lot of different foods and things were going good so I stopped with probiotics. This whole time I never really saw any yeast in my stool but I knew Candida was the culprit because for 1 my gut issues were alleviated greatly by following the diet, rotating antifungals and doing p&b shakes. In addition, my tongue would clear up. But as I said I stopped probiotics and thought homemade yogurt would suffice. I did occasional antifunga ...

Hi everyone this is my first time posting on here. I’ve had EC the past 5 years since I was 18, I’m 23 now, I’m a male and overweight/obese it’s been a long battle with this anxiety and depression creating disease, but there is hope I was nearly at my wits end with this disease I didn’t like going out or being around people. I left jobs because of people gossiping about my lips. It was just a daily struggle, I left school a year before graduating it really took over my whole mind and things I loved to do I use to be really active at the gym 5-6 times a week for 3-4 hours in great sh ...

I have been comparing the ingredients lists on different brands of mild cheddar cheeses, and have noticed that some brands (kraft cracker barrel and black diamond) have ”modified milk ingredients” as their first ingredient. Other (more expensive) brands list only ”milk” as their first ingredient. Are the cheeses that list ”modified milk ingredients” SCD legal?   [End]

I think rotifer can explain so much. 1-the cocoons or cigar shapes that come out of my skin sometimes have a creature inside that looks like a rotifer 2-they vibrate ( hum as desssau says ) to collect food, my hands and feet ( most infected )and sometimes other parts hum, mostly at night 3-there is a predatory fungus that goes after it, it drys up and makes a GEL coat around itself to escape. I think the gel coat is the gel in the lesions as well as the fake skin we see helping them escape from us 4-the rotifer is clear unless food in digestive track except for its red eyes. ...

Hi again everyone. (This post is intended mainly for Candida support, but I’d like to cross-post since this therapy is used for other intestinal conditions as well. Thanks for reading!) Has anyone here tried a fecal transplant? I’ve heard about them -- although mostly for more serious health problems than candidiasis -- and the reviews are excellent. Most people report immediate and lasting benefits, it seems. My battle with candida began after I took a course of antibiotics, for the first time. I assume that it killed off my beneficial gut flora, which had done a good job of ...

Hi all, Any one here have an s and d small bowel follow through? I had two colonoscopies - that came back as indicating splenic flexure syndrome - something about a kink in the colon. Anyone know what causes splenic flexure and/or how to treat it? I still have abdominal pain and stools just not right. So the doctor ordered an s and d small bowel follow through. What can be diagnosed from this test? Is it possible that crohn’s/colitis can exist only in the upper colon? Any and all comments appreciated! TIA!   [End]

My doctor and I suspect I am gluten intolerant and he has me on a gluten free diet now. He says to follow it for 6 months. One of the worsened symptoms that recently sent me believing this is the problem is that when I ate any amount of gluten the skin around my neck and collar bone would start itching. Sometimes my whole chest/abdomen but mostly the neck/collar bone area. No visible rash, just really itchy. This only seems to happen when I have any amount of gluten now. I have cut it out for over a month and was feeling a lot better when I accidentally had something with gluten and ha ...

A 68-year old woman patient was a 10-year diagnosed victim of refractory celiac disease on a gluten-free diet. On admission for treatment of severe diarrhea, the patient exhibited Marsh IIIA villous atrophy. The patient was already receiving on-going treatment for refractory celiac disease with drugs. Additional drugs and antibiotics were given to treat the diarrhea. Eventually, the patient tested positive for C. difficile. Antibiotics were ineffective to treat the recurrent C. difficile infection. A fecal microbiota transfer was then performed. The C. difficile infection and diarrhea re ...

I have not been diagnosed yet, but i am going for blood work this week to see i do have this. One thing i noticed is when i eat wheat and oats, soon after i get a burning sensation on my tongue, near the tip, on the right, about the size of a penny. This feeling usually stays around for 3-4 hours, sometimes longer. According to chinese and ayurvedic medicine, the tongue is a map of the digestive system. Now i’m not 100% certain, but i think the back of the tongue is tied to the colon, and the rest is the small intestine. So a burning sensation on the tongue would indicate some inf ...

I’m feeling much better, though not completely, as I still have candida flare-ups if I eat so much as a banana (though I realize once the mercury is gone, the candida should be real easy to permanently kill).

(NaturalNews) Gluten is the common protein molecule found in wheat, barley, rye, kamut and spelt. Gluten is a sticky, storage protein that binds to the small intestinal wall where it often causes digestive and immune system disorders. The most common condition associated with a gluten sensitivity is celiac disease where the small intestinal villi are flattened. However, the immune reaction that takes place with gluten sensitivity can affect many different tissues and when it does it is termed non-celiac, gluten sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS is an epidemic that is a major factor in inflammato ...
