Headaches and food sensitivities?

My 21 y/o daughter gets chronic migraine headaches. I believe they are food-related, due to family history. The problem is: migraines are really hard to diagnose. Food sensitivities can last a couple of days, overlap, etc. She has been seen by numerous types of docs: Neurologist, Rhuemotologist, Allergist, General. I hoped the allergist could help us but they said they only test for standard allergies, and not intradermally for foods (family member tested this way, dr. retired). She has been on a candida diet but I don’t know for sure if she really followed it. She has removed milk from her diet temporarily. She has: migraines, problems with acne, irritability due to the headaches, rashes from certain metals, Raynaud’s syndrome, acid reflux. Any ideas? Any ideas for finding a DR. who tests intradermally who also has a medical degree? Other ideas? She agreed to keep a temp. food diary. I am concerned about her liver from too many pain killers – pains in upper right back.




okay , so i have this whiteish clearish gooey stuff comeing out on my underwear and when i wipe. I have it all the time…24/7 nad not just when im "preparing" for my period… what is it ??? im tired of it and its embarrassing ? Also, what is the difference between discharge and a yeast infection ?
by the way the stuff is not yellow , its white or/clearish… but it still smells.




I usually have an aqua class today. I took the vaginal tablet before bed and also have cream.




My puppy started her first se tof pills today. How long until we see a difference in frequency of peeing?




Yeast infections seem to arise from candida whereas most edible mushrooms are Agaricus. Do they play a role in yeast overgrowth? Is that role beneficial or harmful?
I’m not referring to vaginal yeast infections but infections in the gut.




suffering from bacterial overgrowth. prescribed Xifaxan (rifaximin) for 10 days. presumably I should not start a probiotic until I stop taking Xifaxan — is that right? The drug kills all intestinal flora, so seems I shouldn’t start too soon. Also unclear to restock flora whether Align or Flora Q is best. Will taking in addition active yoghurt cultures like Dannon Danactive or Activa help or hurt? Does taking beano or V-gest enzymes prevent bacterial overgrowth or just prevent gas?




I’ve had just and ONLY oral sex done on me a month ago with someone who is NOT my bf. my boyfriend now wants to go raw with me but i wont allow him to because i have a milky white discharge and i got want to be positive for an std and pass it on to him because i love him very much and i dont want to lose him.
I need some answers




Yeast Candida in Dogs: Home Treatment?

I was wondering if there was an at home treatment for dogs with yeast candida. I have a black lab with a severe case of the infection, but the vet only prescribes a canister of pills that have to be taken twice a day, administered every few months from the veterinary office, do not have a lasting affect if ceased to be administered and are really quite expensive.

I feel really bad for her, because she’s lost almost all of her hair and her skin is… falling off?, but my parents say treatment is too expensive. Are there any alternatives?







Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex about 5-6 weeks ago. I did get my period after. Now I need to go pee alot and it is only a little bit. It has a smelly odor. I read that frequent urination is a symptom of 6 weeks pregnancy. What is this frequent urination? Am I pregnant?




I am asking because I used the monistat 3 last week, and I was supposed to get my period today, but did not. The website says Monistat will not decrease the effectiveness of Nuvaring, but causes more hormones to be released from the ring. I am wondering if this could cause my period to be a bit delayed? Has anyone else experienced this?




During intercourse with a girl, I noticed that she got bacterial vaginosis in her Vaginal. Ever since I have been worried. What are the implication of this to me? Although I used a condom, but I still want to know if this bacterial vaginosis can make me ill.




If so, can it go away on its own or does it have to be treated.

I had unprotected sex with my husband while having a yeast infection because I didn’t know I had one neither because all I had was a lot of slimy discharge with no burning or itchiness. Then later found out I had a yeast infection but still had no burning or itchiness just a lot of slimy discharge.




I am trying to cure my cat at home ..so would like to know how can i know if its worse or its gone?




I have a condition where I get REALLY heavy periods that can last for weeks at a time. I’m trying to decide between going on the Depo Provera shot or to go on Mirena. Does anyone know which is better at stopping heavy periods?
