Re: Yeast infections since going gluten free.

There could definitely be a correlation if you are choosing more simple

starches now that you are GF vs more complex carbs when you were eating

gluten. It is hard to tell without knowing your diet. But, I would say

there is not a connection between gluten-free and yeast infections. But

your new food choices can be made of more simple carbs directly

affecting your guts ability to grow yeast at a higher rate. Make sense?

This is wierd. Since going gluten free 5 years ago, I have only had one yeast infection and one urinary tract infection. Before going gluten free, I had 2 or 3 of each a year, off and on for years and years. Has anyone else had this reaction?

I used to have chronic yeast infections

and have not had even one since I went gf 2 ½ years ago.  I assumed it was just one of many symptoms

that improved with the gf life!

infections since going gluten free.

I went gluten free almost 1 year ago. Since then I have had

several

yeast infections. I took Difucan for weeks

now I just take " Daily-

Dophoilis " My Doctor doesn't believe there is

a connection between

going gluten free and yeast infections. Does

anyone have any insight

on this?

[Guest guest]

There is definitely a connection between gluten intollerance/celiac

and yeast. The damage to the villi effects enzyme production,

including production of cellulase, which is needed to break down

sugars and fiber. Cellulase deficiency can cause fungal overgrowth

such as candida (yeast infection). The following link gives info on

enzyme definciencies

http://www.enzymedica.com/enzyme_deficiency.php

I know of plenty of people (another list I'm on) who have chronic

yeast problems who find gluten is at the root of their problems.

I have had several yeast infections and found that artificial sweetners, too much sugar, stress, soaps, and being sick all tend to leave me with one. I have cut all artificial sweetners out of my diet and have started using a body wash instead of soap and have cut most of them out. The sugar if I cut it down when I am stressed or sick then I can cut even more out. Also the other thing one doctor had me do was use the medications for 6 weeks to get rid of the infection totally. Sometimes the medications just cut them down but do not totally get rid of them.

I hope you can find relief soon!

Happy Holidays? NO! NO! NO! MERRY CHRISTMAS! YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!

my sister had a problem with yeast infections when she was pregnant with my niece something about one of them being off or something like that i don't remember but she drank aloe juice. and she had to drink a cup a day and she said that it was gross tasting at first but she likes it now but it solved the problem for her. she also drinks aloe juice if she gets an upset stomach and for other things. cm

Before I was diagnosed, I took enzymes for digestion. They really helped,

and I didn't know why. Thanks.

I have been gf for a year now and had uti's and yeast

constantly as well. Maybe there is a connection.

Knock on wood I have had 0 uti's and the yeast seems

to be a little more under control?? Who knew??

Wow, was I glad to read this post. I had CONSTANT yeast infections

for a year and a half. I turned completely to alternative medicine

and by putting my self on a sugar free, dairy free, yeast free, fruit

free, gluten free, mostly corn free ....OK, basically food free diet

and somewhat starving myself to death, I have been amazingly better.

However, at the time i had no idea i was gluten intolerant and did

not know what celiac was. I have not yet gotten a diagnosis, but have

done the blood work. I'm pretty sure i have it, but always wondered

where the yeast fit in. I KNEW that all of my health problems over

the past two years were inter-related. My doctors treat the yeast as

separate from the GI. But I know this isn't right. Well, now, after

trying to eliminate gluten 100% I break out in horrible hives and

burn and itch all over when i eat sugar. Do a lot of you eat gluten

free and sugar free???? This seems so daunting. I can do one or the

other, but everything you can buy gluten free is usually full of

sugar, give or take a few things. Should i tolerate sugar better

after cleansing myself of gluten????

Of course you can eat gluten-free and also

sugar-free! You might have to do more of your own baking… J You can also

concentrate on fruits and veggies and proteins and beans and safe grains, then

add whatever sweetening doesn’t make you sick (honey, stevia, fructose, artificial).

I’m not allergic to sugar except that it makes me break out in fat. I’m

finding that much of the packaged gluten-free foods would put all of my

hard-lost weight right back on me if I ate it!

In any case, I’m so glad you feel

better and have some of the answers!
