Celiac Candida Connection

I found this interesting article at Open Original Shared Link (or just google "Celiac Candida connection").

I found this article very interesting because I started taking 3Lac about a year and a half ago. 3Lac kills Candida overgrowth in the digestive system. I have had problems with eating glutens for 11 years now and am a self diagnosed Celiac. However, I still struggled with lots of digestive bouts. I started having night sweats about a year and a half ago, and when I googled "Night Sweats", it came up with 3Lac. Apparently, candida overgrowth can cause night sweats as well as a whole bunch of other symptoms including diarhea, which is something I have struggled with for years.

I ordered the 3Lac, and took it for about a year, and tried to stay off the glutens. Because I didn't have a diagnosis from the docs that I had Celiac disease, I guess I was in denial, and when I would get better I would sometimes eat little bits of glutens. However, I learned that typically I would get sick from eating glutens. Anyways, to make a long story short, the 3Lac really made a huge difference in my life. If was one of the first things that really got my stools back to normal. Even eating gluten-free, I still struggled with loose stools.

However, I fell off the wagon (so to speak) last year, because I didn't have a diagnosis for Celiac disease, and I had one dr tell me I should be able to develop a tolerance to small amounts of wheat, etc., I occassionally let all abandon go to the wind. Ie. I ate glutens when I shouldn't have. And to compound things, I went off my 3Lac, sort of accidentally, cause I ran out, and it took them so long to ship me more, that i sort of went off of taking it faithfully everyday.

Not only that, I am a sweets lover, and we know how that feeds candida overgrowth. Anyways, I got really sick for all of November and December last year, that I have now sworn off of glutens for the rest of my life, and let the people around me know that. I cannot eat glutens for 6 weeks to 2 months to get a positive test for Celiac. I think it would kill me if I did that. Would be too sick.

However, my last bout I noticed I wasn't really recovering, even though I had gone gluten free. Shortly after Xmas day, I finally realized that I had to give up sugar as well. Can't remember how I came to that conclusion.

Anyways, I am now fighting the Candida in my digestive system. I up up to 3 packs of 3lac a day now, and hope to increase. I have been taking it since Dec 26. It has been a struggle but I am getting much better. Before Xmas, almost anything made me run to the bathroom. NOw I can stomach rice and veggies again. So the 3Lac is really making a difference. If anyone would like to talk about 3Lac, feel free to email me at s_emerald@hotmail.com

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
