Maybe your Candida overgrowth is all in your intestines and not systemic (in your blood). This is actually a good thing as it will be easier for you to rid yourself of them. A stool test can find this.

Since my naturopath is not covered by insurance we held off on testing for now. I had a rash, fuzzy mouth, and vaginitis and I've been struggling with poor absorption, so this is a logical conclusion. It is often associated with celiac; he even showed me research showing that yeast infections may be the original trigger for developing celiac disease.

I showed some very mild candida in my last stool and a very mild reaction with IgG ELISA. So I am taking a product called: Candidase

Open Original Shared Link

I did some research and it makes a lot of sense to me the way it works. Since I am very "mild" with it, this should take care of it pretty well. And at the same time taking lots of pre and pro-biotics.

Yes I know candidase, I've heard some good words about it (people say it works) but I can't find it in Athens.

Any way I guess I'll run these stool tests first and then if there is actually a candida problem I'll go back to my olive leaf extract....

I just don't trust doctors any more...you know what I mean.....

Did you experience dying off? I did and it was terrible and I think that maybe the blood tests were not right cause I did them after several days of taking antifungals already....

This is only day 2 of Candidase. So I will let you know. So far, no die-off. Then again, I only have very mild elevations. I am hoping this alone just gets me back in check. I never had problems with it before. Also, Colloidal Silver kills them very effectively. But it is not for long term use. 6 weeks tops would be all I would do. Red Clover tea helps with die-off. Drinking lots of it. So if I feel it happening, I will go buy some of the tea and drink it all day.

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
