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.

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.

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
