You definitely need different tests / opinions. H&B is not enough and if your GP is not helpful then insist on seeing someone else that takes you seriously.
You might also consider a more holistic approach via e.g. Kinesiology, homeopathy etc.
A good Health Kinesiolgist can often pinpoint and eliminate food/substance allergies (google the term).

Btw: MSG is a terrible substance. Allergy or not you should definitely stay far, far away from it -> it is known to cause obesity apart from being often the culprit in histamine reactions

Food intolerance happens with any food or drink that does not contain a protein. In order to be allergic to anything, it must contain a protein. That is the big difference.

A very simple test can tell you if you have an intolerance or an allergy. Sit in a chair for about 5 minutes and let your pulse stabilize. Take your pulse for a full 60 seconds (not 15 x 4 thing). Do this twice to make sure your pulse is stable and reads the same beats.

Now, put the food or thing you want to test in your mouth and chew it for 30 seconds. Spit it out or swallow it and then take your pulse again for another 60 seconds.

If your pulse is more than 6 beats faster, you are intolerant to the food or drink. If the food or drink contains a protein, they you are allergic to it. If you happen to have type “O” blood, then use 4 pulse beats as the criteria.

You don’t need a dermatologist to tell you if you have an allergy or intolerance; simply use that test and it is very effective. It was designed by a doctor and really works every time.

Depression and anxiety can happen from excess stress, but it is how you deal with stress that is the key. We all get stressed from time to time, but learning how to deal with stress is the key. Having nutritional deficiencies and eating or drinking garbage food can create depression or anxiety. Taking drugs is NOT the solution to those problems.

Watch these videos to see why drug companies should be ashamed and any doctor that prescribes drugs to deal with these problems is either getting paid handsomely to do that, has an agenda for profit, or is just simply ignorant.

Do your homework before going to doctors looking for solutions they have to offer. More people are being killed by doctors than any single major disease in America today. The iatrogenic problems are rampant due to drugs, poor diagnosis’s, bad science, and major indoctrination by drug companies of doctors and patients.

Good luck to you

This is common for children, but not too often found in adults. Food sensitivity is different from a food allergy too. Most commonly this happens when someone eats a leftover and it’s been left out too long or put away too soon. When this happens someone can be sensitive to the same food they ate before. Bacteria grows this way, grows in the food overnight and when you eat it you can become ill. Since you left out any type symptoms you’re suffered from it’s too hard to say what might have happened in your specific case. Please note any for your question or the doctor if it ever comes down to it again. There is a website that you might find the answer. Go to webmd.com and enter food intolerance in the search area and choose which link you want. Good luck and God Bless

I’ve never had any luck with smearing plain yogurt on a pad, tea tree oil or garlic.

Consider going on a yeast-free diet, no sugar (as sugar feeds yeast), no alcohol – so no cakes, candy, sweets, etc.

*Take Lots of acidophilus/probiotics or eat Unsweetened Yogurt
*Avoid tight jeans and other tight pants
*Wear cotton underwear during the day, no thongs
*Wear no underwear to bed

Here’s some things to try if it’s a topical yeast infection. I’ve tired the first two and know they work:

1. Put a tsp of apple cider vinegar in a 6-8 ounce glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.

2. Mix a tsp of Hydrogen Peroxide in a cup of water and pour over the area 2-4 times a day.

3. Fill a bathtub with just enough warm, not hot, water to create a sitz bath (enough water to cover your groin and just up to your belly). Add 2 cups of raw apple cider vinegar and sit in the bath with your knees folded toward your body (not stretched out flat). You can stay in this bath mixture for 15 minutes. Gently pat dry and make sure you are very dry before putting any clothes on. Wear only cotton underpants, preferably washed in natural unscented detergent.

Ours was prone to it too, and he’d get a huge buildup of waxy stuff as well. I started using a swab of 50/50 diluted vinegar (in water) to wipe out his ears once a week. I used a wadded kleenex for it, and made sure to get down as far as my finger and the kleenex would allow. This changed the acidity in the ear enough to stop the infections. Once a week is fine, or you can do it twice a week, but definately not every day.

admin answers:

It’s hormone changes that likely bring on the yeast, don’t ask me why but it happens. Try cranberry juice if it’s in your bladder. If it still persists, a CandidaGone cleanse or yeast cleanse kit might help you, follow the directions and eat the right foods. Cleanses usually available at health food stores, or those that sell those type of products. Candida is basically related to yeast, so that cleanse would kill yeast too.

Hope this helps.

It depends on the parts you are looking for. Any petrolium burning 2.3L Ford engine will interchange parts almost 100% based on the production run of the engine. If the engine was built in 2008 than almost any 2.3L from 2005-present should interchange parts very readily. Suspension componants tend to differ from model to model so it would be difficult to find parts such as control arms and things of that nature. The brake system may have the same componants as the ranger or territory but you would have to research that in great detail and make sure the part numbers are EXACTLY the same. Hope that helps.

admin answers:

Most parts on new vehicles are not made by the vehicle manufacturer themselves, but by other companies that supply them. The manufacturer puts these parts together and makes a car. If a car company were to go out of business, these suppliers would still be able to provide replacement parts, and other companies would also provide aftermarket versions ot the parts.

Even if a car company was to go bankrupt, that bankruptcy would be a reorganization, not a liquidation. They would still be in business.

Dealers are independent business. If the company were to close (not likely) the dealer could still exist as a private shop. Other shop can also work on your vehicle, so you have nothing to fear there.

Do not let fear of the future of the auto industry keep you from buying the car that suits your needs.

Now, what you have sounds less like yeast infection and mroe like vaginisitis…which is more smelly and less itchy than a yeast infection; they are often confused with one-another. Next time you have symptoms of whatever it might be, it is always good to go to your gyno just to get it checked out and make sure you are healthy down there…and make sure waht you think is a yeast infection is really one. You want to be treating the right thing.

Lastly…be honest about your sexual activity…men can carry a yeast infection and pass it to you so that may be why you keep getting reinfected…he may not have any symptoms but may benefit from using a cream so he stops passing it to you

admin answers:

Causes of yeast infections
there are 2 good reasons to learn a bit about the causes of vaginal yeast infections. First, if you have recurring yeast infections, you can figure out what’s causing them and then work to prevent them, rather than just working to kill the yeast every time they take over. Second, if you know what kinds of things cause you to get yeast infections, you can be alert for symptoms and treat them early on with the generally-milder do-it-yourself remedies, rather than bombarding your body with drugs.

Vaginal yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans, which, along with a few types of bacteria, are normally present in relatively small numbers in your crotch. Sometimes the yeast multiply rapidly and take over, causing a full-fledged yeast infection, or, in the heart-warming terminology of the medical establishment, candidiasis or monilia. This can be due to a change in the vaginal environment, injury, sexual transmission, or HIV. Common environmental disruptions that favor yeast include increased pH, increased heat and moisture, allergic reactions, elevated sugar levels, hormonal fluxes, and reductions in the populations of bacteria that are normally present. These can generally be traced to a few categories of culprits:

antibiotics are probably the leading cause of vaginal yeast infections in american wimmin, and are a great example of the important principle that by using technology to solve problems, we create other problems. Say you take an antibiotic to cure your sinus infection. The antibiotic kills the unwanted bacteria in your sinuses, but can also kill the “good” bacteria in your crotch, upsetting the balance of your vaginal ecosystem, allowing the yeast to take over. (antibacterial deodorant soap can have the same effect.) most wimmin have problems with only a few types of antibiotics, or with prolonged antiobiotic treatment. Others get yeast infections every time they take antibiotics. Unfortunately, i know of no way of preventing an antibiotic-induced yeast infection; you just have to treat it once it starts.

Clothing: crotch yeasties flourish in non-cotton, tight, or dirty clothes that trap heat and moisture. No doubt Xena, Warrior Princess, gets infections all the time from that leather underwear. Your absolutely best bet is to wear a skirt with no underwear or tights, and definitely avoid pantyhose. If you’ve ever had an urge to go for that sexy thigh-high stocking look but have been too shy, here’s the excuse you’ve been looking for. And if you do wear underwear, your safest bet is unbleached, undyed cotton underwear and breathable clothes. It’s a good idea to change your underpants regularly, like maybe once a day. If at all possible, don’t sleep in underwear; if you do, put on clean stuff. Yeast can live in your underwear, so be sure to wash it well, particularly during and after a yeast infection. Some medical types think that when you have a yeast infection, you should wash and dry your underwear and then iron it or throw it in the microwave on high for 5 min to kill the yeast. On the other hand, check out this testimonial: “I wanted to alert your readers that putting underwear in the microwave for 5 minutes is a VERY BAD IDEA… I went off to finish my nightly ablutions, leaving the underwear nuking away. I came back to a little black melted pile and an incredibly difficult to clean microwave.” there you have it. I personally am going to stick to ironing.

Chemicals, such as inks, dyes, and perfumes, can upset the balance in your crotch or trigger allergic reactions that lead to yeast infections. The classic example is commercial douches, which have no benefits and are definitely harmful to the vaginal environment and your health. You know those odor-causing bacteria that their products help you get rid of? Well, they’re the same bacteria that kill the yeast in your crotch! On top of that, soaps are not only disruptive to the vaginal environment, but can damage your mucus membranes. You should never soap your crotch. But there are other, less obvious sources of nasty chemicals. For example, i’ve had serious problems with those nasty colored, perfumed toilet papers, like Charmin; 5 days of that and i am yeast central. If you think that’s your problem, try an unscented, undyed toilet paper, like Scott. Even better, use a recycled, unbleached eco brand. Similarly, some laundry detergents and fabric softeners have allergenic dyes and perfumes; i invariably get yeast infections from underwear washed in Liquid Tide, and a friend of mine gets them from underwear washed in Wisk. Again, try an eco brand, or something like Arm & Hammer fragrance free detergent. Additives in bubble baths or bath salts, scented tampons or sanitary pads, or (heaven forbid) feminine deodorant sprays, can similarly trigger yeast infections.

Condoms can promote yeast infections in two different ways. First, a lot of condoms come packaged with a lubricant that contains no

Allergies are an immune response. My suggestion to you is that you also start trying to boost the immune system. The first step is to get her on a great diet. Raw, by far (really far) is the best. Although domesticated for thousands of years, a dog’s gut still works the same as the wolf. They have the acids, enzymes and flora that are designed to digest raw meat and bones. A balanced raw diet will cure most, if not all of your dog’s problems. I live in FL where we have a flea problem year round. In my house there are 7 cats and 3 dogs, non of which need treatment for fleas. They don’t need any chemicals (which will also cause immune problems and cause allergies) because they are so healthy, they repel fleas on their own. Raw foods are not compromised by the cooking process. Once food is cooked over 120 degrees, all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals are cooked out. That’s why the last half of the ingredients list on ANY canned or dry dog food, is all synthetic vitamins, minerals and enzymes. That’s like eating fast food all the time and trying to make up for it by taking One-A-Day vitamins. Is it any wonder why our dogs and cats suffer from obesity, bladder stones, diabetes, hypertension, irritable bowel disorders, gas, loose stools, skin problems, allergies, and so on. Dog food companies have had 60 years to make our dogs healthier, and they have failed. The proof is in the vet bills.

I would add a good, cold water, fish-based (not fish liver) oil. The omega-3 fatty acids, balanced with the omega-6 in animal meats, will act as an anti inflammatory and help ease the allergic reaction.

To start, I would also add pre and probiotics, and digestive enzymes. Most of the immune system is located in the GI tract, where nutrients are absorbed (have you seen the DanActive commercial?). When the workings of the gut flora become imbalanced, often you see allergic reaction. Adding these supplements will help the dog’s insides to normalize.

Below are some foods that don’t have what’s on your list. You can go to the web sites to view the ingredients.

You’re right that raw is indeed the best, but if you’re not ready for it (though it’s not as complicated as it initially seems), then yes, definitely feed a premium grain-free food.

I fed Taste of the Wild High Prairie (buffalo) and though my dog did “fine” on it, he did TERRIFIC on raw prey model, most noticeably in his gastric system – no more flatulence, less stool, more compact, dry stool, and the stool had almost 0% smell to it – on kibble, even a high-quality kibble, he farted up a storm, it stank to high Heaven, and he constantly had semi-soft, stinky stools.

I wouldn’t be terribly concerned about kidney disease, to be honest with you. Yes, the protein levels are higher, but a healthy dog is designed to metabolize a high-protein diet – they’re carnivores, after all.

It’s unfortunate that veterinarians in this country are taught to TREAT conditions with drugs and whatnot, instead of practicing the appropriate preventative care and treating symptoms with natural cures and backtracking to determine the CAUSE, not just obtusely treat the EFFECT.

I’ve not used Canidae, but their grain-free variety is supposed to be quite good. I recommend you at least try it, and I would absolutely supplement your dogs’ diets with raw food occasionally (though never fed WITH kibble, as they are digested at different rates and due to gas build-up from kibble, you don’t want to risk a bloat). Give them a chicken breast or drumsticks now and then, and a meaty cattle bone now and then for premium dental health.

I hope this is helpful to you – good luck with your dogs! : )

However, maybe you did not stay on the medication long enough,
Some vaginal infections are resistant to treatment.
Also, maybe you need to try a different medication.
Some medications work better for some people .

You did not say whether you are sexually active?
Could it be possible that you might have an STD.?
Altho, the gynecologist probably tested for this when you went.

But, maybe it is about time you seek another opinion.
Don’t wait.

Edit

I had similar symptoms many years ago and it turned out to be an infection of the cervix.
Discharge and foul odor.
(Forgot to mention this when I originally answered your question.)
They can treat this sometimes by antibiotics, altho, the gynecologist cauterized my cervix to destroy the infected tissue. (A little uncomfortable but it did clear the infection.

You need to investigate this further, possibly with another gynecologist.
This can lead to more serious complications if not treated.

My first thought on reading as far as your instant reaction to the gin potion was allergy. Short of a pre-existing condition, I can’t think of anything, other than a poison, that could act that fast.

As I read further, I was going to mention mold but then you did. Mold is insidious. Mold can cause hundreds of nasty symptoms. That you had been sleeping on it for god knows how long means that you were breathing it in all that time even though you didn’t know it was there. I don’t know if there is a medical specialty in mycology but it might be a place to start.

Also, consider that what’s going on may have been caused by more than one condition or more than one allergen or mold or … If the gin event was an allergy, maybe it triggered nasty mold spores that had been hidden in your larynx..

They do have tests for some food intolerances, though the tests are not all that accurate. The best way to see if something you are eating is bothering you is to stop and see if your symptoms go away. If they do, then eat a lot of it and see if they come back.

If something bothers you, you can stop eating it, regardless if it is diagnosed by a test.

The York Food Scan Test is the best. Expensive but worth it I’m sure. Doctors mainly test for true allergies such as peanut, shellfish etc. As well as digestive diseases i.e coelliac. It’s rare that you’ll find a doctor that will test you for an intolerance to foods. They are much more likely to test and give you results for true allergies.
Holland and Barret health food store do an intolerance test but I’ve heard that this isn’t 100% accurate.
Something else you could do is to stop eating the foods you suspect you could be intolerant to for a couple of weeks, and slowly introduce them back into your diet one at a time, taking note of any symptoms after having eaten the food. You can test which foods you could be intolerant to by keeping a food diary and noting any symptoms you get up to 24 hours after eating the suspected food. However if you eat a lot of different foods in one day it may be harder to pinpoint which foods are causing the intolerance.

Hope this helps.

Food intolerance is a myth!

Real allergies are serious and immediate and you know what you are intolerant to!

Starch in food (often cakes and bread as they are made form refined flour) can make people with acid regulation issues bloat but this is not an intolerance as such.

Avoiding dairy and bread based on myths about intolerance and blood group preferences (mostly American diet guru’s) can lead to a badly balanced diet.

The most often it is caused by acid overproduction in the gut caused by lack of fibre and complex carbs resulting in a slow transit sand bloating.

Eat more complex carbs such as butternut squash broccoli etc and avoid starchy foods such as bread and mashed potato. Also drinking more water will help! It will speed up transit.

Finally the Wind – trying to hold in wind is a major cause of bloating along with insufficient water and too much starch in your diet.

Ignore anyone who called themselves a nutritionist (Dr Gillian McFraud for example, not only is her doctorate a fake one there is no such qualification as a nutritionist. The only true qualification is a dietitian and the advice they give is aboutbalanced food groups and calorie control .
