Candida test

Hi everyone,

I have been gluten free for about 10 years.  Recently I've been having pain in my lower right side and upper right side near my belly button.  (I've had lots of tests and the doctors don't think appendix.)

Someone told me to be tested for Candida.  They were tested and had to be put on anti-fungal medicine (it has to do with killing the extra yeast in the intestine and then lots of probiotics and diet changes).  After reading the symptoms of Candida they seem similar to Celiac.

Does anyone have any experience with being tested/having Candida?  I'm wondering if there is any relation between Celiac (autoimmune disesases) and Candida?

Also, do regular doctors test for this or do I have to go to a holistic doctor?  Really I've been to so many doctors, I'm starting to think outside the box!

Thanks!

I noticed after I posted this that there are some topics about this posted before.  There is a search function above.  But, if anyone has anything new to post that would be appreciated.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):

      Hello,  I have seen numerous doctors and they can't seem to pin point why my ttg iga is still mildly elevated at 16-20 even after being gluten free for over 10 years. I follow a very strict diet and don't eat out. All my other blood tests such as ema, DGP IGA / IGG, vitamin levels, CBC, and dexa scan were normal.
