having spent 6 years as a confirmed coeliac , i always hoped and believed there was a cure for me

having tried homeapathy [waste of time and money] i was given a number of a kaneiseilogist [weird to explain what they do - have faith]

after my first visit i was told that i had candida - a yeast infection of the intestine

The symtoms are very similar to coeliacs

had to cut sugar out of my diet completetly [best i could]. Suddenly my taste buds changed - I actually tasted food

together with a sugar fast i was prescribed some pills [PERMATROL]

now ,after 4 months i can get away with flour -although i can do smelly farts

when the farting starts i ease off the flour

my stalls (sh*t] are nice and healthy now as opposed to runny

HOPE THIS HELPS AT LEAST ONE MORE UNNESSARY SUFFERER !

I am not sure you are cured. If you google coeliac it says the only treatment is a life long gluten-free diet. If you are saying that after some foul smelling farts you need to ease up on the flour....that is your bodies way of saying it cannot process the flour. You are probably doing damage to your body and just are not getting the worst symptoms yet...

Anyone else have any idea?

You say you are a 'confirmed' coeliac.

Do you mean by biopsy????

There really is NO other cure for a coeliac other than a gluten-free diet.

To say anything different is dangerous.

Yes I was thinking the same, did you have confirmed Celiac from biopsy/blood tests?

It is dangerous as Nikki stated, not only for your body but for other members on this board who are newly and think that it is ok after a few months gluten free to go off the diet....

This is no known cure yet for Celiacs Disease except to the adhearance of a strict gluten free diet. Even though she may be feeling "normal" damage is taken place in her intestines.

There is no treatment currently for Celiac Disease except the gluten-free diet.

A Kinesiologist can possibly alert you to food intolerances and allergies, but can not treat or cure Celiac.

Um........yeah.......no cure for Celiac and your smelly farts would indicate the response to the poison in your intestine (although surely smelly farts CAN occur for other reasons.....but I will say that I rarely pass gas any more........).

Every single kineseologist or naturopath of which I've heard diagnoses every single patient with candida, followed by the taking of their very expensive prescribed antedotes (sold at their own offices)...and if you in fact DO have candida.....the only "cure" is an anti-candida diet, which takes months to see results, from what I"ve read here.

While your intestines and response to gluten will change - after nearly two years gluten-free myself I can eat somethign and not have a horrible reaction - you will never be cured of celiac. You will damage your gut and eventually it will catch up with you.......

Oh, bother, wonder if you'll even come back to read these responses, since you think you are cured?

:huh:

I agree, no cure only diet.... I do understand that you could have both a heavy yeast load & celiacs..... but it is a long process to rid yeast in the body & keep it at bay. I believe that also requires are fairly strict diet as well.

I personally think you are in a sinking ship by this way of thinking. sorry....

I truly wish for all of us to find a cure but at present we know the answer to that hope ......

I am glad you feel better, but you should be concerned with potential future problems, and I agree that people who are newly diagnosed may be careless because of the hope of a cure.

I am guessing you were right on this Susie.

Threads like this never end up good. It is a topic that will get people worked up since it is very incorrect.

Hoo-boy . . .. .. .where to start?

Are we sure this isn't just some shill for an alleged candida pill?

Discounting that, doesn't Jimbo's saying

The symtoms are very similar to coeliacs

lead to the scenario where the actual cause of the gluten-related symptoms always were due to candida alone. Somehow celiac was stumbled upon, and was wrongly attributed to be the cause, but it was finally finding & treating the candida that made a difference.

What 6yr celiac doesn't already know that this genetic auto-immune disorder doesn't go away?

If we don't hear back before long, it may be safe to assume this single post by a new acct is nothing but a sales pitch created by a mercenary who won't be seen again.

Well, this was a welcome post for me believe it or not, I just returned from work and logged in and see this post...... haven't laughed so hard in a couple day and I needed a good laugh... cured.... sheeshhhhhh and it only took 4 months amazing......

Cured my butt they are cured...

I can envision them now in a few weeks sitting on the "john" and wondering if they are cured, lol

I vote for the diet, its a cure no pill can claim!

Just in case this was an actual post from someone and not a attempt to sell a drug I thought I should mention......

In the young folks who have been diagnosed there is often what is referred to as a honeymoon period after being gluten free for a while, I am meaning years here not months. The person may believe what the doctors used to believe, that folks could grow out of celiac. This was very common thinking in this country until not to long ago. We now know that does not happen. However the presentation of symptoms can change and the person might very well think this for the first few months or even a couple years after they add gluten back in. This can lead folks to think that they were either misdiagnosed or that they are 'cured'. Of course newer reseach has shown that the auto immune destruction will continue and eventually they will be fully symptomatic again. My DD had 2 symptom free years after deciding her diagnosis was wrong in the first place. Only for the last couple of months have symptoms been popping up again.

If the original poster was a person who was looking to help, inform or looking for information the automatic assumption that they are posting just to sell could be quite distressing. They could very well have been doing just that and at this point with some of the responses the person has gotten I hope that is the case. If I was a sincere poster and recieved replies like some of the ones this one recieved I dont think I would be back either.

If you actually think you are cured, then even after 6 years you don't understand the basic facts of celiac disease.

If you have a celiac gene, you have a genetic predisposition to celiac disease, which can be triggered and develop IF YOU EAT GLUTEN. This predisposition never goes away. Eat gluten and you can develop celiac disease, which is officially diagnosed by observation of flattened, damaged villi via an endoscopy. If you stop eating/don't eat gluten, the villi damage will repair itself and go away, and will stay away as long as you don't eat more gluten.

A vague analogy to this goes thus: Imagine a person who always gets a bright red facial rash from eating strawberries. If they don't eat the strawberries, they don't get the rash. If they eat the strawberries, they get the rash. When the rash isn't present, they don't have the rash but the predisposition to it is always there. Of course, a rash is a lot less serious than celiac disease, but the analogy is similar.

The predisposition to celiac disease CANNOT be cured because it is genetically based. If you have the gene, you have the predisposition.

This is your life and your health, you should become more knowlegeable about it and take it seriously.

IM BACK

and im not some sales guru - just a poor plumber trying to shed a little hope around the world

more developments - turns out my cousin has been diagnosed with candida as well (completely out of the blue with a different practitioner)

spent a day over chrimbo with a bottle of rum (made from sugar)

AND WAS ILL -VERY RUNNY!!!!

that has since passed and last night went to pizze hut - no farts -nothing

would leave my number if i could be sure no weirdo would ring

all the best - will check on feedback in a few days

So how were u diagnosed with celiac, was it threw blood, endoscope or enterolab or some other form of testing. Were u 100 percent sure u had celaic or did u have gluten intolerance brought on by candida, but just never diagnosed with candida til recently?

Jimbo. If you are gluten intolerant than your candida cure could be possible. But, if you have confirmed celiac than you are not cured, but probably silently hurting yourself. You can do damage without symptoms.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
