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

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
