MUST READ!!! IC CONNECTION WITH YEAST

[Deedee]

Hi Everyone who reads this!!!

I seen a wholistic/allergist who is top in his field,after treating patients with Diflucan and anti-yeast diet ic drmatically improved and or diminshed(note; i did not say cure,BUT THERE IS A CONNECTION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO ALL!!)
Read on other ic sites its helped!!
Read one woman who improved 85% and Uro prescibes Diflucan & Diet to his ic patients and seems to be helping!
In my case i had the misfortune of having a hysterectomy at 27 years old.Through the years couldnt tolerate or balance any hrt,natural hrt,compounded hrt,saliva tests.etc..
or balance my hypothyroidism!!(Synthroid,Cytomel,Armour)
Other than my ic,i suffer with joint pains,
severe abdominal bloating,breasts swelling hell i swell all over!!IM PUFFY-LIKE!!its not like a fatso-weight its puffy!!,oh and after taking Elavil 5 years ago gained 70 lbs in 5 months from a very slender 123lbs at 5'7 to a whopping 193!!!(DRS SAY ELAVIL
MESSED UP MY METABOLISM INDUCING HYPOTHYROIDISM!!SO WATCH OUT FOR ELAVIL!!)So in other words i eat healthy and very little and cant shed lbs!!!
lack of sex drive,(oh and maybe thats a good thing since sex is PAINFULLY IMPOSSIBLE WITH THIS IC!!,I could go on....But wanna get to point~!!!!
This dr said the ic is another piece of the puzzle!!My bladder is doing this due to HORMONAL IMBALANCE AND CANDIDA ALBICANS!!
ONCE YEAST IS TREATED THEN WE TRY TO BALANCE BODY AS A WHOLE!!ya see all these years cant balance body due to abundance of yeast!!its systemic yeast!!everyone has it but some AN OVERLOAD!!!
YEASTS WEAKEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM!!!THERE IS A CONNECTION WITH IC!!
Please everyone look at this as an option,finding a dr who will listen may be a challange.William G. Crook has some superb
books on Yeasts.In the book "THE YEAST CONNECTION AND THE WOMAN"he devotes a whole chapter to ((((IC)))))
Also from my researching the thyroid plays a big role with bladder symptoms(my Endocrinologist agrees)Hypothyroidism
is linked once corrected sometimes IC improves!
We need to rid the yeasts,change our diets
(sugars,breads,carbs,lots of water,supplements..)correct any imbalances
any glands are as they say OUTTAWHACK(ha ha )also check for so called allergies.

I believe that there could be a connection. Had surgery for removal of fibroids, they wanted to do a hysterectomy, no thanks! I am widowed and haven't had children yet at I am 39. Anyway, I had these baseball sized fibroids removed in a myomectomy. The next day after surgery that night, I got a fever of 102, and a sore throat. No, not your typical sore throat THRUSH yeast in my throat, Probably from all of the antibiotics. Anyway, when this stuff started flaring, the nurse at the urologists office did a bladder installation, and she said it looked like like yeast. You may be right. They gave me pretty strong antibiotics in the hospital after surgery, because of the fever. All I know, is when I finally could be sexually active again the flare from hell started, its going away now. But it lasted three weeks, and it was the worst I have ever experienced, have had this crap for 20 years. You may be right: )
