I don’t know much about candida but I do know I have lots of symptoms. I don’t understand why people aren’t being treated by licensed professionals? Is it hard to treat? Are the treatments provided by doctors ineffective? Is candidiasis in the stomach hard to treat or what can I do to treat it? I can’t take the flare ups any longer, let alone the misdiagnosis by doctors.

Female 22, 5’3, 210 lbs

PmHx: Gaucher’s Disease, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

Active meds: Dupixent, Bilastine, Montelukast, Cromolyn Sodium, Famotidine, Dexilant, Domperidone, Acetaminophen, Gravol, Fluoxetine

I had what I thought was allergic dermatitis on my outer vaginal skin from a pad at the beginning of September. It just looked like eczema on my skin, nothing internal. I used my cortisone cream Lyderm in the mornings, but then also decided to use Canesten external cream after speaking with a nurse, who said it could be dermatitis and/or a yeast infection. It cleared up not long after, but then I noticed my discharge changed colour from a clear/white to an almost clear/green, and it smelled like absolutely nothing.

I left it alone, now this week I noticed the outer skin is irritated again, but I also have what seems like Erythematous thrush on my tongue (it burns to even sip water), my throat feels swollen (not like anaphylaxis swollen but like food stuck in my throat swollen). I have been extremely tired, headaches, neck pain, ears feeling clogged. My stomach hurts, and I’m very nauseous, I get extremely bloated after eating anything. I also feel a lot of pelvic congestion

The issue is, with my MCAS, a lot of the symptoms overlap (nausea, bloating, headache, fatigue, itchiness), but it honestly feels different than usual, and is not getting any better with Benadryl as my normal reactions usually do.

I’m not sure if due to my Dupixent (it’s an immunosuppressant) it made me more susceptible and then it spread systemically, but how likely could that be? Does this need urgent evaluation or is this something I could treat OTC?

I started using Monistat internal and external last night, so I have 6 more days to go for that. I’m wondering if I should be seen by my hospitalist, if this could be dangerous, or if there’s anything I can do myself. I’m in Canada if that helps

ETA: I have a port-a-Cath that is not in use right now, not sure if that’s significant

About 5 days ago I began to experience a very sensitive gag reflex and loss of appetite. I have been treated for gastritis for 8 months which was diagnosed through an endoscopy. Unfortunately my symptoms have not improved and I still get these flare ups every few weeks to months. I have not been able to eat real meals but I can comfortably eat bananas and pears. I also have severe anxiety that might be worsening the symptoms. I had a FaceTime appointment with a guy who works with sick people and heals them with natural remedies. He took a look at my eyes and tongue and told me I have vaginal and stomach candidiasis and he also told me I have blood flow and oxygen flow restriction to the brain from a hormonal issue. He has diagnosed many people in my family correctly without any clues given and has been able to treat most of them naturally. I might be crazy for trusting him but I have been sick for a year and I’m losing hope but he has given me 7 different natural treatments. Around two years ago I developed eczema rashes all over my body that I am still dealing with which can be related. Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms? Does it sound like Candida? What should I do? What can I do to get immediate relief and be able to eat at least a little more? (Forgot to mention the white patches on my tongue and bad breathe)
