Is Celiac The Same As Candidiasis?

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.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
