i have coeliac but i can have wheat as long as the gluten has been removed, and it can work the other way, it is possible to be allergic to wheat but not have a gluten intolerance/allergy

also it is possible to have a gluten intolerance and not have coeliac

Very interesting- I've never heard of gluten-free wheat products. I'll do some looking around. In the meanwhile, can you suggest a wheat product that you like where the gluten has been removed? I'd like to try it. Thanks!

In Europe they have wheat starch which supposedly contains only trace amounts of gluten and is declared safe for celiac by them. But a lot of people with celiac disease react to it anyway, and I don't consider it safe at all. I personally wouldn't eat it.

First of all, I'm not advocating use of this product. Pacific Natural Foods has this statement on their website about a beef flavored gravy that is listed as gluten-free but not as wheat-free: "This product is Gluten Free (By definition this means less than 10 ppm gluten. The wheat fiber ingredient has no protein and is supplier verified.)"

i myself cant tolerate said wheat startch, but on persription we can get weat products that contain no gluten at all.. i think juvela is probably the best for that.. if you google it then you can become a member

A Wheat allergy is different from Celiac. You see an allergy is IgE mediated where Celiac is not. I was told I have both but I just had a recent blood test done and I showed not allergic to it but I still have celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
