Oral thrush and stomach problems

Oral thrush and stomach problems

After four months from the exposure i still have candida.
I have been treated but nothing has changed.
I'm also having stomach problems like pain, gas and continous noises from inside.
I have been tested negative but why i continue to feel so bad ?
Doctors don't understand.
Does Hiv gives stomach problems? And which kind?

Stress will do it.

Have you done a test for candida?  I STILL have a fear of HIV, but it is getting a bit better.  My medication (for OCD) has been straigtened out (after 2 months of hell), and the constant bad thoughts and fears are minimizing.  

Anyways the past two months I had been getting diarrea (diarrhea) EVERY DAY, and my tongue has been white.  Since my last tests (I have taken 3 since my exposure) have been negative the doctor assures me that the diarrea (diarrhea) is a result of panic attacks and stress.  

He tells me (and I have also read) that some people just have a white layer on their tongue due to dry mouth(s), medication, smoking etc.  This is why I am asking if you have taken any tests to diagnose Candida.

I have been using saliva simulatories on my tongue and the whiteness has decreased quite a bit.  It is still there, but has greatly minimized sometimes to the point where it is barely there at all.

No, i didn't take test.
I was diagnosed by a doctor.
I also have genital candida with bumps and red spot on penis.
I  have often also white sputum, expecially in the morning, like something continously coming out from inside.
Then  i look at my tongue and has white color in the middle at the back side.
Like a line of white rubbish coming out of the throat.
I don't know if are the same symptoms.
I didn't have medications, i don't smoke.

Candida Albicans is a yeast that lives in our intestinal tract. It is also the yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections. It is normal to have small amounts of Candida so the friendly and protective bacteria in our body called "Acidophillus and Bifidus" can use it as food.

When something happens to kill off these friendly bacteria the Candida cells begin to multiply out of control. Candida can spread throughout the intestinal tract causing bloating, gas, food reactions and allergies, constipation, diarrhea and a host of digestive complaints. Candida can also spread to the vaginal area, the prostate, the heart, lungs, liver and cause numerous symptoms and illnesses.

Stress can cause yeast growth for several reasons. Stress causes the release of certain hormone called CORTISOL . Cortisol can depress the immune system and also raise blood sugar. The elevation in blood sugar can feed the yeast cells allowing them to grow quickly.

The depression in immune function will leave the body defenseless against the sudden elevation in yeast. These two reaction tend to happen together as cortisol goes up. This is the exact reason why stress causes Candida. Cortisol can be addicting to the body. It raises sugar and relieves inflammation. There have been a few studies that show the body can become addicted to it and try to keep it elevated. There are several simple nutrients that help lower cortisol levels back to normal by telling the nervous system to relax.

When I was a teenager I started getting NUMEROUS yeast infections.  Of course being the way that I am, I thought it was herpes and was very STRESSED out about it.  

I was diagnosed with yeast infections, but the medicine just would not fix them.  I would get them about once a month and they would last about a week.

I kept thinking "if it is yeast infections, then why is the medication not working...why do they keep coming back once a month).

My mom took me to the hospital during one REALLY bad infection, and the doctor checked me out and told me that it was just a bad yeast infection.  Like all the other doctors I had seen he just handed me a perscription and left me to talk with a nurse.

This nurse was really good.  I told her my worries and how the medications for yeast infections NEVER worked.  She told me to forget buying the medication and to go buy Acidophilous capsules because I most likely had a candida imbalance.

I went and bought the capsules and took them every day.  I never got a vaginal yeast infection again.  Try acidophilous and you can try backing it up with bifidus.  It won't hurt to try.

Cold, creamy Silk® delivers the goodness of soy protein — but that’s just the beginning. Measure Silk against milk ounce-for-ounce, and you might just rethink your drink.

LESS fat, cholesterol and calories than 1% milk
MORE fiber than 1% milk
Not to mention...

Naturally occurring omega-3s
Extra antioxidant power1
One-of-a-kind flavor that’s easy to fall

Soybeans also contain potent enzyme-inhibitors. These inhibitors block uptake of trypsin and other enzymes which the body needs for protein digestion. Normal cooking does not de-activate these harmful antinutrients, which can cause serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and can lead to chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake

hey chris its better than yougurt
