yeast sinus infection - Dana

[Guest guest]

Hi Dana:

You made the following reference in response to someone's post:

" For my family, sinus infections are yeast. This actually sounds like

you had a yeast sinus infection. "

What is your definition of a yeast sinus infection?

My son has been on the GFCF diet for 1 1/4 years. Last February, Spencer

had a sinus infection for the first time when we were beginning to treat

yeast with berberines. The sinus infection cleared when he went on an

antibiotic.

For about 3 weeks, my son has had a head " tickle " and dark circles under

his eyes. He had no pain in the sinus area, no runny nose, and no

congestion. The regular pediatrician thought he had allergies and

prescribed Flonase and Zyrtac. He got a runny nose after taking the Flonase

and Zyrtac, so I stopped it. My DAN! doctor recommended we try an allergy

tonic. It still hasn't worked though. She thinks he may need a higher

dosage, but recommended he go on an antibiotic if he has headaches. Three

weeks later, he still has a head " tickle " during the day and a headache at

bedtime. Is this a yeast sinus infection? If so, why doesn't he have the

standard pain when I press the sinus area? Why doesn't he have a runny

nose? Is it because he's on quercetin which lowers histamines?

Thanks,

Hoch

Major sinus pain and/or swelling/stuffiness. Many times drip.

Usually accompanied by headache but not always.

Possibly. But sounds to me like " just " yeast in the head, which I

also get. Major nasty stuff. If I wake up in the night, or upon

awakening in the morning, and have a nasty headache, I know for sure

it is yeast. Sometimes I have the headache at bedtime but not always.

I use GSE several times a day and that takes care of it by the end of

the day.

You can buy a GSE nasal spray for sinus yeast. Altho oral works for

me, it does take all day, several doses during the day.
