Is Celiac The Same As Candidiasis?

[Guest myjade_84]

I think i have candidiasis but at the same time, i think this is celiac disease. I have been to a lot of doctors and they all say i am fine but i know im not okay. There are times when i eat bread, i get stomach ache and then i get itchy. I went to an allergologist and he said it can be an allergy. But i am doubting his diagnosis since i also have other symptoms like body tingling, frequent urination and i even have a cyst on my right ovary. I don't want to go to doctors anymore since they are just wasting my money. So i'm doing research on my own and i found this forum. I hope i can find some answers here and i also want to help out to those who have this illness.

No they are not the same thing.

You might want to check the dh boards on this forum. celiac disease can manifest as a horribly itchy rash. Perhaps they can help.

Some of the symptoms are similar...if you suspect....get tested and that does involve a doctor.  You want a full celiac antibody test:

 

Total Serum IgA

tTG - both IgA and IgG

EMA - IgA

DGP - both IgA and IgG

 

Good Luck to you

Actually, in the US (I assume other countries, too) you can order labs directly from a lab, online. Google it for a lab company near you. LabCorp is available from online labs. No doctor required.

True...should have said "that generally involves a doctor" -- if using medical insurance.  You can indeed order them directly from the lab -- we have done this to obtain follow up blood work on my sons.
