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)

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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
