Avatar m tn I have noticed the Zinc upsets my stomach so I have to take it with a little food. Just my personal experience. As I think you all know, I plan on treating with triple therapy (INC, peg-INF, RBV) leading into my transplant. Meaning I will attempt to become UND during those weeks (4-12) before transplant. If UND I will then choose a liver without hepatitis C so I will not reinfect my new donor liver and be free of hepatitis C after my transplant.

1475202 tn?1536270977 Also a couple of days ago due to my ammonia level being high (68) I took a zinc sulfate 220mg prescibed by my specialist to help with the ammonia. In less than a hour I was experiencing the worst pain I ever had. It was in my entire abdominal area and all the way across my lower back. Finally I tried a warm bath and it took the pain away. My specialist even called in some pain pills for me called Dicyclomine 20mg. which also helped relieve the pain.
Avatar n tn I came to the realization that I must also have an infection in my intestines, since the zinc cleared out all of my gas/bloating. I Googled Zinc + sinus infection + sticky stool + mucus & it pointed me in the direction of HELICOBACTER PYLORI or, H. PYLORI. After reading about it, I found out how prevalent & widespread H Pylori infections are throughout the world. It seems this dirty little bug is the cause of incalculable amounts of human pain & suffering.
Avatar n tn She said what my PCP prescribed was too strong and she prescribed econozole, desonide, zinc ox. She thought it was contact dermatitis. No improvement at all, and two weeks ago she precribed cloderm. I had a follow up yesterday, and no relief. She took a culture, and it came back as a yeast infection, and now she prescribed Oxistat 1% lotion. What a ride. So here are my questions: 1.For a yeast infection, would you prescribe oxistat? If not, what? 2.

Avatar m tn Hello, so far I've tried taking 1000 mg Vitamin C and 50mg Zinc tablets. I stopped taking both about a week ago since from what I understand Vitamin C is used to fight infections and taking 50mg Zinc seemed unsafe, since I don't know what dosage of Zinc per day is safe. I've been checked for infection three times so far and there's nothing. I've come across something the call EZ Flow tea, which seems to be composed of natural herbs.
Avatar m tn I just found out that there is a class-action lawsuit against the companies that make denture adhesive. It seems that these adhesives contain enough zinc to cause many of the my FMS symptoms. I've been wearing dentures for 18 years and I have always used the same brand of adhesive, which is made by one of the companies targeted by the lawsuit. I called my Dr this am to arrange a blood test to determine the my zinc levels.
12757438 tn?1433673730 Has anyone dealt with this type of thing before? They said its anemia due to the zinc toxicity. Has anyone’s baby bounced back from something like this? They have not spoken any words of organ failures so as far as I know that is not a concern. I’m just worried and not sure if I should be asking for something else to be done. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer.
Avatar m tn I have never known zinc to do anything like that. Zinc is a mineral that helps the skin and nerves get healthy. Check your diet - if you are eating too much sugar or carbs you might have frequent urination caused by hypoglycemia or pre-diabetes. Maybe you didn't pee often enough before and the zinc is healing your bladder... Are you drinking more water? You should in hot weather.
Avatar f tn I have a constant yeast infection. I have taken a perscribed medication for it and over the counter and neither made it go away. Now I feel I have to choose between my skin and my sexual reproductive health. Is there a way to releive the yeast infection while on the antibiotics, or am I forced to stop acne treatment? I should mention I live in a remote town with no MD, I only get to see him once a year. Also, he gave me 3 months worth of treatment - After this cycle can I stop taking it?
Avatar f tn hi i got a fungal infection two year back i tried many ways to get rid of it i am not able to do that. this infection is charecterised with pigmentation and itching around the vagina and swelling of my hair follicles with pus. I am really panic I dont know wat to do can you please help me.
Avatar n tn Your issue may be a fungal infection in your sinus which is what I have. The Mayo clinic have already studied and identified it. The steriod sprays will not do much good because they end up encouraging fungal growth. It didn't help me at all. You also have to be carefull about antibiotics because it will kill the underlying bacterial infection which often goes hand in hand with fungal, but will also make the fungus grow.
Avatar m tn It most commonly occurs due to bacterial, viral or fungal infection. An intertrigo usually appears red and raw-looking, and may also itch, ooze, and be sore. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical zinc oxide cream like Sudocrem, Desitin are very helpful(apply with a paper towel and not directly with hands).
Avatar m tn Salt is mildly bactricidal. Also try a couple of zinc lozenges. Zinc is also bactricidal.
Avatar f tn fungal, bacterial or viral. Since it is coming again and again there may be some dermatitis or diabetes or STD. Also it is possible that some part of fistula is persisting. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn Hi Im 25 years hold and Im writing to have another opinion about what is happening to me now. This year for me has been quite difficult due to several episods of bresat infection since May 2013. Im not pregnant nor I have children, any tatoos or piercings. I have done two Ultrasounds so far and the last has been done 3 moths ago but they do not show anything wrong.
Avatar f tn I take zinc. I used to take Zicam nasal spray or swabs, but they got rid of the effective formula, claiming they were protecting people from loss of the sense of smell. I don't care about that because it wiped out a cold fast. So take zinc 50 mg and gargle with salt water with baking soda. Try green tea with mint. Sleep with head elevated slightly, but place pillows to keep the neck straight or he will wake up with a hurting neck.
1388445 tn?1289267388 Because you are tired and sluggish it would also be a good idea to take vitamin C with a zinc supplement because without vit c the zinc will not be absorbed via your gastro-intestinal tract. I also use an essential oil called "myrrh" and add it to a carrier oil and massage it on my chest and neck to assist with drying up the catarrh.
Avatar m tn The major sign of zinc deficiency is affected taste. The zinc taste test is recommended. I have had this done for free at my local pharmacy showing i had zinc deficiency. You can also purchase zinc sulfate to try at home. I can't say for sure what all my zinc deficiency symptoms were as i has other severe deficiency states and medical conditions concurrently.
Avatar f tn zinc magnesium is for rls is what it is for if thats what you are wondering aind if thats what u want it for i would get potassium to because there is enough zinc in the multivitamin if you are taking one in my opinion so i just took potassium and magnesium
Avatar m tn This morning on ABC they had a segment about a lady who had lost her balance to the point she had to have a walker to get around. They said they discovered that the zinc in her denture cream had cause the problem. They especially mention Fixodent and Polydent. My husband uses Fixodent and also is unable to walk without a cane. If he misplaces the cane, he has to hold onto the walls or furniture to walk around. This might be a just a coincident.
Avatar n tn the clinical trial they used up to 600mg of zinc a day..but Fourteen of the 23 zinc-treated patients had complete remission of their warts after one month of treatment. Complete clearance of warts was noted in 20 patients after two months...NO ONE in the Placebo group showed ANY improvements..so why wont my doctor listen to me?
