Every morning when i wake up I feel hungover, but i dont drink...........i have cut out all sugar and i am on a gluten free, dairy free,soy free diet...........is this a typical die off symptom. I also have more bloating lately and burning eyes off and on. If i drink a lot of water the hangover feeling subsides in a couple of hours. Your thoughts Please!

It's great that you have cut out sugar, along with gluten, dairy and soy. But cutting out sugar is only the first step. By cutting out sugar, you are keeping more candida from growing, but you are not killing what's already there. Now you need to use something to kill the candida. Some people use probiotics, others use prescription antifungal drugs, and others use natural supplements like caprylic acid. Find what works best for you, and good luck.

I use Threelac and Grapefruit seed extract............are these good ways to get rid of it, or are rx drugs better? Do you think that hangover feeling in the morning is from mass die off reactions?

I believe what you are using is good. Just keep in mind that if the candida comes back, or the hangover feeling continues, that something else is behind it. The body allows the candida to overgrow in some situations.

It definitely could be die-off. How long have you been taking them? You're taking good products. Personally, for me, GSE wasn't enough. What helped me was adding Caprilyc acid and oil of oregano. They all work slightly differently so, there is less a chance of the candida becoming resistant.

I also like to rotate probiotics. I read an article in Prevention (very mainstream health magazine) that our gut probiotic make-up is very individual, like a fingerprint, so it is better to replenish it with as many different strains as possible. If you just stick to the most popular, acidophilis, and your gut mainly contained something else, you'll actually end up a little imbalanced,not at your ideal make-up.

I just got my results from my naturopath and she said i didnt have a candida problem (Genova Diagnostics). I guess maybe it is just from some other food intolerance or something.

Hold the gluten,

I've read various of your posts over the course of you being on board. I'd highly recommend seeing a good LLMD and being tested through Igenex for lyme as well as other testing that LLMD's do. Lyme does cause what you are feeling.

I didn't realize there were other probiotics than acidophilis. Do you mind explaining more about other types of probiotics?

I read somewhere that Candida may cause a person to have a wicked sweet tooth, when it is starving for sugars. Is there any truth to this and could this be a sign of Candida either dying off or coming back?

Here is a link to the article I read. Basically, it tells about some of the different straines, and what researchers are discovering they do. I have taken so many courses of antibiotics, my gut was in bad shape. Acidophilis helped a lot, but I'm doing much better since I started taking supplements with more strains and rotating them. DanActiv seems especially helpful for me. My allergies seemed to have improved since I started drinking.

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      By Betsy Crum · Posted

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be sure to carefully check labels for any wheat warnings, thoroughly rinse lentils and beans before cooking, and consider contacting the manufacturer directly to ask about their gluten testing protocols. Many in our community have found that investing in certified gluten-free brands gives them greater peace of mind and helps avoid accidental gluten exposure, especially for higher-risk items like flours.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver problems, or severe anemia that require immediate medical attention. That's why doctors typically monitor blood counts and liver enzymes regularly during treatment. A crucial tip: proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can interfere with dapsone's effectiveness, so discuss all medications with your doctor. If you develop fever, unexplained fatigue, yellowing skin/eyes, or a spreading rash while on dapsone, stop taking it and contact your healthcare provider right away. For celiac patients specifically, remember that strict gluten-free eating may eventually reduce or eliminate the need for dapsone to control dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms over time.
