Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does White Cotton Like Substances On The Feces Mean?
I have been getting a small blister like rash on my hands that seemed to be directly related to sugar intake. I was told I had a fungal overgrowth. I have been on a twoo week cleanse of no sugars and no yeast. I noticed a white cotton like grouping on my feces, could this mean that my diet is working? If so how do I know when I have gotten the yeast down to a level that is healthy?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the fungal infection then it is nothing to take anything with the diet you are taking neither the diet could help in cure the disease neither it could give sign of improvement or anything else, I would advise you to confirm the skin condition you have, and for that it is better to see the dermatologist because skin condition can only be diagnosed with the helps of clinical observation, it may be allergic condition, it may be infection. As long as the dermatological condition is concern what ever it may be it can be managed with steroid and antifungal cream or ointment. hope this information helps.
