Hi all,

Has anyone here had to deal with taking antibiotics while recovering from gut damage due to celiac disease?

I have an acute sinus and eye infection that I need treatment for...but I am terrified that taking the antibiotics will undo all the healing over the last three years and encourage candida growth that will cause new gut damage.

Does anyone have advice or experience with this issue?

Thanks!

What my family usually does is to make sure we eat yogurt while we are on the antibiotics. That seems to help keep the gut in balance and we don't get the D that so often comes from taking them. Also make sure that the antibiotic is gluten-free of course.

For my sinus infections I usually get the Z-pak. I tried Cipro two months ago but it didn't sit well so I switched to the Z-pak.

I have a penicillin allergy--where if I come in contact with it my airway closes off. So I am only allowed certain meds.

I'm alergic to most antibiotics, but when absolutely needed I use the Z-Pak. I get the name brand, which I know is gluten-free.

I would eat yogurt or take probiotics. Open Original Shared Link. It's the best one I've found (I'm on long-term antibiotics for Lyme).

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
