I am 63, female, 137 lbs, 5'5". Have been to GYN, UROL, AND GASTRO Drs
gyn said test showed I did not have Gardenuella...next GYN said I did he could smell it
did no test gave me the drug, it is gone. Asked him to give me vag estrogen cream...it has
kept the uti's away for over a month. Uti bact is e coli. Urol is very irritated with me as
I said I think it is Interstitial cystitis and after that took in a lab report from ER showing
it was SEVERE CYSTITIS with blood etc at ER. He actually YELLED AT ME you have to have

more than ONE LAB to prove it is IC! Then stormed out of the room! He is the only urol
in town (there are others in the office) they treat me like a troublemaker! I just can't get
any help w this. Gastro did colonoscopy fine she said a yr ago...wanted to give me anti
depressants I did not take the offer.
Constant BLOATING OF ABDOMEN...had all the tests... no cancer etc PER GYN, UROL (put camera in bladder), GASTRO,
ON SEVERE STRICT diet as sweet potato months ago put me into severe UTI have been on
carb restricted diet for about a year except for that. No sugar no ref carbs....
Green leafy veg and meat, eggs, plain yogurt, pro bios, kefir.....almonds
Taking over last 2 weeks otc remedies for YEAST INFECTION. Had ONE FLUCONOZOLE
on nov 23...gave me a hard chest pound...once...sweaty, clammy, dizzy, BUT GOT RID
OF THE SYMPTOMS OF YEAST INF FOR 4 DAYS THEN IT ALL CAME BACK...SO I THINK THIS
IS AL YEAST RELATED...
capriylic acid and other remedies otc are so hard on me....make me feel really dizzy....but
made the swelling bloating go away....got lax on it yesterday and day before bloating back
(candida overgrowth) and eyes have been real bloodshot for week and a half....taking
other remedies too as you are supposed to rotate them....
thought I got rid of these uti's with vag est....felt a twinge yesterday was a little
dehydrated from being in town....
Lost wt on this diet....137 lbs...Drs will NOT listen to me and give me LONG TERM
LOW DOSE NYSTATIN....they do not recognize yeast inf....obviously it IS yeast as the
one dose of fluconozole made it all go away ....
I GUESS MY ONLY RECOURSE NOW IS TO GO SEE A NATUROPATH AS SEVERAL DRS HAVE
TOLD ME THAT....PROBLEM: I CANT AFFORD IT THAT IS WHY I AM SELF MEDICATING WITH
CAPRYLIC ACID, OREGANO OIL,
"NOW" BRAND CANDIDA CLEAR....VERY HARD ON YOU....MAKES MY HEART GO FAST
ALL DAY
AND EVEN TRIED COCONUT OIL....SAME EFFECTS...
ON NOV 23 ER SHOWED I DID NOT HAVE A HEART ATTACK...BUT I HAVE I CANNOT WALK
FAST ON MY TREADMILL ANYMORE SINCE THEN.
MY DR IS GETTING ME REF TO CARDIO...WAITING ON THAT AS THE YEAST KILLERS CAUSE
HBP, STRESS, HEART BEAT FAST, PRESSURE IN CHEST, BREATHING DIFFICULTY....
THIS IS ALL A FIRST WITH THIS HEART STUFF....
COULD JUST BE MY BACK NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED...I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERE SYMPTOMS
WITH THE CANDIDA KILLERS BUT THIS SEEMS OVER THE TOP.....
WOKE UP W SAME SYMPTOMS YEST CALLED AMBULANCE THEY SAID EKG LOOKED FINE....
WAS SLIGHTLY DEHYDRATED....
FELT A TWINGE OF UTI MAYBE STARTING UP YEST TAKING REMEMDIES....OTC HERBS...
JUST GETTING NO HELP AT ALL.
WITH OTC REMEMDIES, URINE FLOWS PERFECTLY, NO BLOATING, ACHES AND PAINS GONE,
BUT THE OTC REMEDIES CAUSE DIZZYNESS, HEART PALPITATIONS, CHEST PRESSURE,
WHEN I LAY OFF THE OTC REMEDIES THE BLOATING COMES BACK....AND GOT TWINGE
OF UTI.
MY DR SAID I STRESSED MY HEART W THE OTC REMEDIES AND I FAILED THE STRESS TEST.
SHE IS SENDING ME FOR STRESS TEST WHEN GET THE REF.
ALL THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY CANDIDA OVERGROWTH....
I DID THE HOME TEST SPIT IN THE CUP OF WATER....AND PROVED THE CANDIDA OVERGROWTH, NOW IT IS CLEAR WITH THE OTC REMEDIES BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE
AWFUL....
ANY IDEAS? I WAS ON ALOT OF SUGAR AS A CHILD, ANTIBIOTICS AND OF COURSE
LOTS OF ANTIOBIOS OVER THE LAST 3 YRS FOR THESE UTIS.
I WAS IN PERFECT HEALTH BEFORE THE UTIS STARTED AS A RESULT OF TRAVELING ALL
OVER THE STATE LOOKING AT PROPERTY FOR 3 YRS AND THE STRESS OF NOT FINDING
WHAT I WANTED AND NOW THE STRESS OF LIVING IN TOWN WHEN I WANT TO BE OUT
ON ACREAGE LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.....
