yeast problem?

Hello all

Some may remember my posts over the past year. I had a small bowel tumour
removed Fall 2008 and started chemo Dec 2008 and finished May 2009. During
chemo I had a long list of side effects, including a pasty mouth with a
white film on my tongue. My onc gave me Nystatin but didn't seem to be that
effective. It eventually cleared up on its own. During that time as well I
had bad heartburn, felt sick often, was hard to eat, burped hours after
meals that sounded like I inhaled helium and burped it out etc

The past few weeks the white film on my tongue is back as well as heartburn.
Yesterday for example I had lunch at 1pm. At 6pm I had heartburn. I was
hungry for supper but still had heartburn. I was also having small burps.
Not sure if this is related but my sinuses ache, I have congestion, throat
feels sore but looks ok, stinky gas some days, etc  All this is cutting into
my appetite and slowing my regaining of weight.

I saw my physician 2+ weeks ago and he gave me Nystatin but it didn't seem
to work after a week. I went to a walk-in clinic yesterday and saw a Dr I
haven't seen before at that clinic and he gave me anti-biotics! ?!?!?

I am on 2 40mg of PPI a day and have been for years due to heartburn caused
by my Crohn's. Between surgery and chemo I reduced my PPI's to 1 a day and
never had any heartburn. This was due to having most of the bad bowel
removed leaving mostly good bowel. I was feeling better than I had in years.
I never had a chance to eliminate the PPI last fall as I started chemo which
brought back heartburn. I am back on 2 a day to try and control it

Either way, does this sound like yeast? it doesn't make sense to me to have
heartburn hours after a meal or the next morning, or to be burping hours
after eating/drinking anything. It feels like something is furmenting down
there.

Any thoughts?

p.s.  I am back to work now full time and getting my life back on track. If
I can conquor this nusiance problem I have, I'll be very happy.
