\r\n \r\n If one found themselves getting a new diagnosis every other year that seems to be (imo) stemming from Yeast/Candida issue, where/how would they even start to:
\n
\n#1 build up immunity
\n#2 reduce yeast overgrowth
\n#3 replace beneficial gut
\n#4 repair adrenals/thyroid
\n#5 stop what seems to be whole body inflammation
\n
\nLet\'s say this is a young person (27 now no problems until 19 yo) with half of left lobe of thyroid surgically removed due to "IT COULD BE CANCER" reasoning and found there was no cancer. The years of Synthroid regimen doesn\'t change the hyper/hypo status, at all. H202 still being released, still causing problems with white blood cells -' + '- and all that. (Found a Dr. Haskell that explains this quite well but I do not understand)
\n
\nLife happens and stress is at a MAXIMUM for this young person going thru separation from spouse, needing to find a new home - working part time and putting self thru college living far far away from family friends and diet is horrendous! On comes various illnesses: depression taken care of with WelbutrinEX, virus - old mono - LOTS OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR THIS - still on birth control and advised by physician to get GARDASIL, for she is young. (Can you believe this reasoning?)
\n
\nFound to be gluten sensitive and allergic to corn, soy, beef, chicken, casein and egg whites.
\n
\nDiet has improved. IMMENSELY. Sugar consumption is down but not eliminated. Is taken off compounded form of thyroid meds after bloods reveal:
\n
\nTSH 138.300 High (yes, 138.300) uIU/mL
\nTriiodothyronine, Free, Serum 1.6 LOW pg/mL
\nT4, Free *Direct 0.36 LOW ng/dL
\n
\nThyroxine (T4) 2.1 Low ug/dL
\nT3 Uptake 22 Low %
\nFree Thyroxine Index 0.5 Low
\n
\nIodine has been stopped for a time, now due to the results. She is still taking selenium, magnesium, Vit D3(bio-d-mulsion forte) - greens, probiotics, goat yogurt, virus stop (enzymedica), Oxy powder AND epsom salts for constipation issues which are CHRONIC/SEVERE, beta glucan occasionally.
\n
\nThe iodine would greatly help with the pcos but not good for the Hashimotos. Current doc brought up Candida but is not testing or treating.
\nWould a regimen of diflucan/nystatin be helpful?
\nWhat type of test would reveal a problem?
\nHad adrenal spit test reveal adrenal issues - told to take licorice root.
\n
\nWhere would someone even begin?\r\n
