Sjogren's Syndrome Support Group
Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva. It also associated with rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, and it is rheumatoid factor positive in 90 percent of cases.
I have candida everywhere inside and outside of my body. I was told it's pretty much systemic.
I am receiving treatment from a woman in a natural food store and it is working so far.
I've gradually become sicker over the past 7 or more years with yeast problems.
Recently, I had chronic diareah with undigest food too. I have what I believe to be yeast blisters on my back. Yeast infections in every orific.
Headaches, lowered energy and on and on.
I take meds for the lack of saliva and stuff like that due to SS.
I am begining to wonder if my problem isn't more of yeast rather than true SS.
I am now on a very rigid diet.
I'm taking "CandiGone" 2 x daily and probiotics, IntstiNew and essential enzymes.
The diareah STOPPED!
The bloating is way down.
The crabbiness is calming way down.
I'm experiencing fewer yeast symptoms ie itching.
Has anyone gone through this?

I went to the doctor a while ago to see about my allergies. He rubbed my arm and stuck things under the skin. Nothing. He poked and prodded, his phlebotomist drew so much blood people thought that we were dating. The tests all came back negative. Then one day I went back and I told him that I had found the cause of my allergy.It turns out, I am allergic to betrayal.

This isn't really bipolar related but there is never anyone on the parenting groups, this is the most active group I've been in.My 6yr old son has really bad seasonal allergies and they're in full force right now. He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...
I am currently living alone, so I'm able to experiment with dinner a lot more. My old BF was a meat and potatoes kind of guy, and never wanted me to make him anything other than steaks and potatoes, and the occasional taco or burrito. He wants to move back in, but he hasn't been very supportive with my illness(es) so I think I'm happier alone at the moment.
oh BTW, baby dill? I think you mean baby dill pickles.
Pickles are made from cucumbers. LOL
My niece smacked me with that info immediately after I had that severe reaction to a lemon cucumber and was told not to eat any form of cucumbers. Grrrr
I'm learning these foods fed my asthma like a military tank. It was the foods that kept the asthma close to blowing a lot of the time.
It also caused me to hold so much fluid it's unreal. I was using 180 mg of Lasix and I was still very swollen and bloated. I'm not now with the exception of needing steroids to take another must drug when I do get sick.
I'll have to look up gluten cuz I'm not sure what that is. I've heard the work for a long time but never looked up the deffintion.
Are you getting sick again from eating some of those foods?
Because of Sjogren's and crumbling teeth due to acidic mouth I see a Professor of Dentistry at Cu School of Denistry. He will lay out a non-acidic diet for me. White wines, many fruits and juices, and green apples are a no-no.
My sweat is so acidic it blisters the skin. Good luck on your diet.
