My symptoms ranged from severe cramps, bloating, constipation, then diarrhea. it was a vicious cycle . Sometimes I would tolerate it, others were horrible. I went to numerous gastrologists over the years with the same old reply from Dr's. Numerous meds with no real relief. Anyway, I was hospitalized in 2013, saw numerous Dr.s while there, they were determined I had crohn's and wanted to cut my colon out and put a colostomy on me. I was determined that I did not have Crohn's. I have taken numerous probiotics with some relief for a short period, then the bloating reappears etc. After reading about Candida overgrowth I am thinking that is what I have been suffering from.

My symptoms are as follows :

1. Skin rashes come and go, especially in the crotch area and buttocks area.

a. dermatologists cannot figure it out.

2. cannot sleep well at all, been a very bad sleeper for 30 plus years

3. Constant ear infections, drainage etc.

4. Migraines, blurry vision at times

5. constipation for days, then diarrhea follows

6. joint pain, mostly in knees

7. very stiff neck and tension in back of head.

a. see a chiropractor since May 2016, headaches are better.

8. Sinus, drip, causes me to clear my throat constantly when getting ready to speak

9. Bad indigestion and heartburn at times, sometimes last for days.

Any advice?
