20 year old male, I have previous been on 2 courses of anti-biotics, one was lymecycline (1x daily) for I think a month, and the other was erythromycin ( 4x daily) for 2 months. I took erythromycin one day before bed as I always did and the next day, woke up and was incredibly dizzy and nauseous, I also had overwhelming anxiety. This lasted the entire day, for the 6 days after that, I still felt dizzy but not as bad as the morning after I took it last. I then decided to take it again and the same thing happened, proving to me that it was the erythromycin that was causing the problem, but again the first day was the worst then felt dizzy for another 6 days, I didn't suffer any other side effects really, anyway, after the 6 days I started to develop other symptoms. Firstly I was getting abdomen pains, the pain also went around to my lower back and the bottom of both sides of my ribs, It wasn't really bad pain, just discomfort and a kind of ache, my abdomen was also swollen a bit, I could tell when I bent over that it was larger than normal and felt it was a bit tender. some days I would have pain others I wouldn't. Secondly I could no longer eat solid foods as they would give me the pain again, solid food also gives me anxiety after about 30 minutes of eating and lasts for around 4 hours it also made me feel really heavy and spaced out. So I just started eating soup which my body tolerated just fine with just slight dizzyness and spaceyness. Then I started getting problems with certain foods as I tried to eat properly, alcohol gave me an anxiety attack, after just 1 glass of wine. Milk gave me an anxiety attack also. Yoghurt gave me the pain back as it was working its way through my abdomen region, bread also did the same. I tried to eat some chicken breast with salad, that gave me very dark brown diarrhoea. I noticed I was getting a yellow coating on my tongue, I'v never had this before, it starts at the back and works its way forward, after i brush my tongue and teeth i can see it starting to creep back up my tongue by the next morning. and finally, No matter how much water I drink my urine never goes the translucent with just a hint of yellow that it used to, it stays quite a green colour, sometimes it is also frothy, like i have drank a bottle of bubble bath.
I have been to see 2 different doctors now, both don't seem to know what it is. I researched a bit about candida and realised it caused a lot of my symptoms and plus the fact I had been taking previous courses of anti-biotics, I started taking a probiotic and oregano oil and it made me feel a lot better, not 100% but alleviated some of the symptoms a bit. I Just wanted to know if people thought this was actually candida or something else, if anyone has had related symptoms?
I have been tested for h.pylori and had a stool culture both came back negative for anything.
