Another Candida Question

I think I need to start the candida diet but I'm afraid to because I need to put on weight and it sounds like that would be pretty tough on the diet. Any suggestions? I really think I need to do it because last year I had so much trouble with yeast but didn't know what it could do to a person. I did the spit test and it showed I have it. I see a ND this week and can talk to him about what's best to take. But I need help with the food. My dietician won't like it!!!

Thanks!

well I am not sure but I THINK that this parasite can also cause you weight issues (either lose or gain weight) so that may be the reason why you are too skinny (me too....I am really eating extremely big amounts of food but nothing changes) I also had that test and it was positive so I am going to have more tests (blood, stool) to confirm it. Maybe you can talk to your doc about that....

I have trouble keeping on weight when I follow a candida diet religiously. I have a few tips, and please, other folks correct me if they are no-no-s for candida!

1. amaranth. this is a great "grain" (actually a seed or veggie) that you make into hot cereal. It has over 700 calories per cup. I need these calories. They have stabilized me weight loss (I don't eat grains).

2. avocado

3. nut milks are supposedly a no-no since they are acid forming - if you decide to do a bit of nut milk, choose almond since it is more alkaline than other nuts

4. do you eat deceased animals? if so, that should help.

5. did I mention avocados?

6. quinoa is probably alright for a candida diet, in moderation. It is probably acid forming, so thusly avoided on some candida diets. But it has good nutrition, and helps fight the cravings for starchy stuff.

7. blended salads (especially with avocado). You get more salad per the meal. Using romain is good-mineralizing.

This really is a tough one, isn't it? Is it possible your weight will balance itself out once you've overcome the candida and start absorbing foods better?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
