I made the connection between antibiotics with yeast in them and at least some of the acne I have no idea what I'm seeing.

I suspect there is something amiss because multivitamins I could take safely last year are causing horrible pimples that seemingly have no fluid in them.

I am experiencing increased hair growth and walnut-sized pimples two weeks before my period, as usual. I am on an antifungal medication.

The big pre-period breakout coincided with taking probiotics for the first time in a while.

I am still bloated and rashy in a way I wasn't last summer, when I started the antibiotics (and they worked wonderfully, and it was an incredible relief).

I don't know what to do. I would like to get normal again and rebalance myself, but based on the flu like symptoms I feel now and hormonal acne...I can't tell what this is. I am actually scared to take Glutamine or anything to heal "leaky gut" because the breakouts are HORRIBLE, and the physical side effects are uncomfortable. I don't know how to kill the antibiotics-induced candida and balance that with overloading my system.

I know I need to see an endo as well.

The other problem is this--every "cleansing" agent, be it Neem, Bromelain, or Quercetin, that I could use in the beginning is now showing up as pimples.

When does the candida die off stop, and how will I know? How do I even know if that's what's causing the acne now?
