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

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
