Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi, I recently finished a round of antibiotics for a sore on my leg. It killed off all the beneficial bacteria in my stomach and I got very sick. The doctors took a culture to confirm this and put me on another course of antibiotics and I gradually got over it. A friend sent me an add that claims fibromyalgia could very well be caused by a yeast overgrowth due to the over use of antibiotics. He believes this is why I had my recent flare up. Have any of you looked in to the possibility that fibromyalgia could be caused by yeast infestation? The symptoms of yeast overgrowth are similar to those of fibromyalgia - believe it or not!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi , The FM doc I've seen in Chicago had done research and has found a lot of FM patients have high scores of Candida (yeast overgrowth). So yes, this is possible. I tested very high and am taking herbal supplements from my healer rather than the perscribed med by my doc because my stomach lining is extremely weak and it cannot tolerate the harsh perscribed meds (so he wants me to wait until it gets stronger). The herbal supplements is strictly a PH balancer. This route will take at least 6 months to kill the Candida whereas my doc route would take 3 months. I'd look into it if you were on a lot of antibiotics (I certainly was as a kid)! > Hi, I recently finished a round of antibiotics for a sore on my leg. > It killed off all the beneficial bacteria in my stomach and I got very > sick.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hello, all... In reference to this new topic, 4 years ago I most died from contaminated well water (invested with Coliforms). By the time the Docs figured what I had, I had been treated too many times with Antibiotics for 'supposed' stomach viruses. Consequently, I ended up with C. Difficile, which is a severe infection in my intestines. Last year, I was hospitalized 8 days for C.Dif. for the 3rd time, each time resulting from TOO much antibiotics!!! So, I truly believe now there IS a connection!! It was 2003 when I really started to feel BAD and last year was worse. 'Just wanted to share my experiences in case it may help someone else.... Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi , I believe I'm going to try a pro-biotic - at $15.00 a month it would be cheap compared to other medications I'm trying. I did a search in the archives on yeast overgrowth and there are no references to it. I believe it would be worth a try - if it works, I'll let you know. > > Hi, I recently finished a round of antibiotics for a sore on my leg. > > It killed off all the beneficial bacteria in my stomach and I got very > > sick.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi a, I had this too: C. Difficile - it is nasty stuff. I'm rid of it now (at least the symptoms) but my flare up started soon after I had the bout with C. Diff. I'm going to try the probiotics. I already ordered so I can order from the company that recommended but I'll stay with this for a couple of months and if I don't see any improvement I'll try the other. There is also such a thing as " die off " - your symptoms can get worse as these beasties die off in mass - the toxins can make your symptoms worse for a short time... then you should see improvement. I'm involved in a group on yahoo. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SelfExperimenters It is a group that teaches a scientific method of keeping track of symptoms and documenting how we feel, what we eat, what works and what doesn't. I believe I'll use the pro-biotics as a " self " experiment. We with FMS have to self experiemtn because different things seem to work for different people and we need to find what works with us. > I ended up with C.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I wanted to add that C. Diff is a hospital virus. When I worked at a hospital in Florida as a Med. Surg. Tech, I came in contact with alot of patients who had this. It's highly contagious, and we would have to gown up, mask up and glove up, when dealing with patients who had contracted this during their hospital stay, a few patients got so bad we had to transport them to ICU. Anyway, I just wanted to add that C-Diff is nothing to mess with. Debbie (finessit1)lkdoty2002 wrote: Hi a,I had this too: C. Difficile - it is nasty stuff.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 see mannapages.com for help with fighting off toxins that cause all of these diseases. My acct. #1086331 You will need this number to get into my associate directory. I started on the Glyconutrients about 2 months ago and honey, let me tell you within days I noticed a difference in the way I felt. I use to be so tired and now I have so much energy. I use to take between 15 to 20 medications today and now all I take is maybe some tylenol for my back pain as I have a torn L4 and L5 with a bulging disc. My doctor who specializes in this autoimmune diseases introduced me to them and it has been such a blessing to my Mother and I. She is doing so much better now too. It is all heaven sent. Well, take care and let me know what you think about the products. Also check out Glycoscience.org, Glyconutrients.com and learn about what we needed to know years ago.
