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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
