Rash

[tinyturtles]

I've noticed a couple of flat, red spots on my chest and a bunch of very little, red itchy ones on my shoulders. Could this be a yeast problem? I also have been stalled for 6 days now. At the beginning of induction, I was losing about a pound per day and now I'm on extended induction day #21 not losing anything. I'm thinking that the rash could be yeast related although I haven't experienced any of the other symptoms--coating on tongue, vaginitis, depression. Am I right?

Re: Rash

first a slow down in scale weight loss is very typical for this time. they even have a fancy name for the post induction hesitation in scale weight loss syndron but it is only a slight hesitation in scale loss. if you check your tape measure you should see you are shedding body fat.

now back to your body rash. it could be yeast or it could be something else. you can discuss it with your doc or try one of the free tests you can do like the spit one listed in the stickies.

It's worse. It has spread onto my torso, and this morning I noticed a spot on my neck, I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow with my doc to see what he thinks. I did the spit test and just a tiny amount sunk to the bottom, so I don't know what that means. I bought some Acidopholus and raw organic vinegar so we'll see what that does. Maybe that's the reason why I lost another pound. The weather has just turned really cold, so maybe that's causing it.

sorry you aren't better. Hope your doc comes up with the cure.
