New here...my 18 year old daughter was recently identified as gluten sensitive by her MD who is also an integrative medicine practitioner. She has not been tested for celiac...that is for a separate post.however, one of the cues that my daughter discovered that led her tp gluten- free diet was the appearance of a nasty dermatitis on two fingers that would eventually go away after gluten and dairy were eliminated. She recently must have unwittingly consumed either dairy or gluten, and the excema/dermatitis reappeared. I happened to be shopping in our local natural food/products store, and the manager told me about a product called Redmond Clay. She said to make a paste by adding water to it and have my daughter apply to her fingers and wrap with Saran and wear overnight. The result was extraordinary! It had been painful, blistered, raw and angry looking. As soon as she applied it she could feel it working. When she removed it the next morning, the inflammation and blisters were gone. The redness was lighter, and it was clear that new skin was starting to appear. Supposedly the clay works by drawing the toxins out of the body. You can also drink it for internal cleanse. I highly recommend looking into this for anyone affected. Here's some info...

I use Redmond Clay for a lot of things. You must live in Utah if you found it in a local store. It doesn't really cure anything, but it sure helps clear up topical things quickly doesn't it! I love it for cuts and burns and blisters, things of that nature. (Always make sure it can't dry overnight.) I used some just Christmas night on a nasty bump and was feeling much better in the morning. If it helps, I recommend continuing to use it. But certainly watch for recurrences as they are sure to happen if CC happens and remember this won't cure anything. Simply help with the symptoms as they happen.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
