Candida And Celiac

I have struggled with yeast infections since my son was born 7 years ago. I think I get about 2 a year. If I increase my coffee intake or eat just 1 chocolate candy bar for several days in a row I seem to get them.

I've done a search and found some information, but I'm confused. Monistat and Diflucon don't work for me, I get another cream prescription from the doctor (can't remember the name) and that does take care of it until I eat too much sugar or caffeine.

What's the reason celiac's get these? Is there a "cure"? How do I find out what's causing them because it doesn't seem like eating such a small amount of chocolate and increasing my coffee intake should cause this imbalance? Now that I'm newly diagnosed celiac, should I get rid of them permanently?

Any advice or information is greatly appreciated. I'd like to get rid of this problem once and for all.

Any information about this?

I believe since Celiac messes with your gut it makes it easier for the candida to flourish there.

I have not yet been dx'd with celiac but it's a possibility and I am definitely having tons of problems with yeast... if you look on the main pages in the site inex under related conditions I think it was there's an article about the similarity in structure between yeast cell walls and gliadin/ gluten and speculation that candida infection may trigger celiac. I have had one almost every month this year I do think, sometimes two a month. I go to a gyne that specializes in this problem in about 2.5 weeks, so we'll see what they can do to help me get rid of it.

A probiotic may be very helpful.

guess what, I just found out after being gluten-free for 7 years that it is normal not to be able to break down the sugars--I take pearl acidof. good stuff, you can even get it at wal-mart--but if you want to get well you need to stay away from sugar--lots of sacrifice but I decided nothing tastes as good as feeling good feels....

I've never heard that before. Where did you find it out? I'd like to do some research on it myself so any info you can give me would be wonderful. Does that mean we will never be able to break down sugars or is it something that will improve with the gluten free diet?

Peral acidof? What is is supposed to do?

I did end up getting a prescription from my OBGYN office. I've stayed relatively sugar free and do great when I am, even if I do have an occasional sugary treat. It's definatly when I over indulge that I have the problem.

Check out Open Original Shared Link The ThreeLac and FiveLac are specific types of probiotics that fight candida. They worked great for me. I was getting sick twice a month in the winter and now if I get sick it is very mild and gone within a couple of days. I also had swollen lymph glands in my neck that are gone now and my skin is not dry anymore. You can get some detox symptoms, but ginger water and salt baths help a lot.

Good Luck

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
