My doctor says I have leaky gut, celiac disease and Candida and has put me on Nystatin, digestive enzymes and probiotics. I am down to 94lbs and can't eat corn, rice, soy, beans, dairy and wheat. I continue to loose weight. Any food suggestion are greatly appreciated.

Is he SURE you have Candida and if so is he SURE he should put you on something like that so soon? Make sure your liver enzymes are checked monthly while you're on this med. I'm sure others will have other advice...hang in there.

Nystatin is benign. Open Original Shared Link

There are other prescriptions for candida that are harder on your system, but Nystatin is safe.

I would recommend also avoiding sugar and simple carbohydrates. Focus on protein and veggies. Brown rice is good. Use oils, especially coconut oil which is a natural antifungal, to add calories. As you heal, you will absorb more and gain weight.

Be strict with the no sugar. No alcohol, too.

I initially thought my problem was due to candida infestation. When I first got stomach problems I reasearched everything from stomach ulsers to diverticular disease. The funny thing is that my doctor and a couple more do not look at candida as a medical "problem". The only people who i have spoken to who helped me with following a candida free diet were heath store .

To me the symtoms of candida and Celiac disease look very similar. I am following a diet for both of these. I am also on Proboitics and it makes me feel great when I take it for a week or so.

HI I'M NEW TO THIS CHAT STUFF. I HAVE SO MANY FOOD,CHEMICAL,ENVIRONMENTAL ALLERGIES, LOTS OF EMOTIONAL STUFF GOING ON TOO. I AM SEEING A DOC ON TUES.

I HAVE FOUND THAT BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES ARE GOOD . MILLET AND QUINOA PREPARED LIKE COOKED CEREAL

WITH ALITTLE BERRIES IS ALSO YUMMI. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ADD ALITTLE COCONUT OIL. I AM ABLE TO EAT GOAT YOGURT ITS WONDERFUL AND ALITTLE REAL BUTTER. FRESH MADE VEGETBLE JUICES HELP GIVE THE BODY LIVE ENZYMES, THAT ARE SO DESPERATELY NEEDED IN LARGE AMOUNTS TO SPEED RECOVERY. I SOMETIMES PUT THE JUICE FROM THE JUICER IN THE BLENDER AND ADD A FRESH KALE LEAF AND SPINACH FOR FIBER AND SET IT TO

LIQUIFY. THIS JUICE MAY NOT SOUND VERY APPETIZING BUT IT IS MY MEDICINE. IT HELPS ME START TO FEEL BETTER WITHIN A FEW DAYS TO A WEEK.

I GOT SO HEALTHY DOING THIS AND MORE 10 YEARS AGO, AFTER BECOMING SO ILL I WAS UNABLE TO WALK.

BUT I FELL BACK IN TO THE OLD WAYS OF DRINKING COFFEE AND WINE OCCATIONALLY, EATING CHOCOLATE AND

BREAD AND TORTILLAS, COW DAIRY, TO MUCH RESTAURANT DINING AND NOT ENOUGH HOME COOKED FOOD.

THE FOODS THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN LIVE OFF OF POISON US.

I JUST WANT TO GET OVER THE LACK AND GET HEALTHY AGAIN.

Leaky gut does not equal diahrea. It is a condition where the lining of the diegestive tract leaks food particles and toxins directly into the blood stream. The body then reacts with an alergic reaction and can be as severe as anaphalexis.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
