I have read over the symptoms and I am sure that I do, but how do you get tested for it. I can not afford to go to a Natropath Doctor, Can a regular family doctor test for it?

Thanks

I am not sure how to get tested, I have heard blood and stool tests. I know the other day I had a lot of carbs and some peanut butter. The next day I was very light headed, irritated and a few other sympotms. So last night I decided to have a high intake of carbs and I feel horrible again today, so I am going to cut carbs and sugar.

So my question is, how many people here have encountered this problem, it is said that people with Celiac are prone to getting this too.

Hello

I have candida and I found out with the home spit test, the score in some tests I found in the the net and then my blood tests prooved that these home tests were right. And right after I started the therapy with some herbs and I cut down carbs I started having the dying off symptoms.

You should have some tests first cause it is a very hard diet you must follow.The chances to have candida increase if you have used many antibiotics and/or had a poor diet or a very rich one in sugars. A family doctor can run some blood tests to check it out. My family doc did that.

In this forum there are some people having candida overgrowth and someone has asked if there is a possibilit to create a place were we can post only for candida issues.

Yes, I would be very interested in learning/chatting more about Candida infections. I am at the point where I am starting to explore it as a possibility in my own healing, and I since I am broke I will need to learn everything I can from you guys and through my own research and experience. I am pretty sure Yeast is a major problem for me right now, and I haven't acted on it yet. I am in the stage of collecting information and deciding what to do next.

I have not been diagnosed with candida, but fit the profile of someone who would have issues with it (past use of prednisone, etc.) What I find is that by cutting out all grains, sugars, and fruits (and most starchy vegetables), I get relief from the issues of bloating and discharge. If I eat sugar (for a few days) or fruit, I get the symptoms again. And yes, mental stuff is among the symptoms, especially just being less able to handle emotions if I eat sugar.

There is a book called Body Ecology which is really good, if your library has it. The diet, as outlined, is VERY hard to maintain if you are thin - it is hard to get enough calories - and also if you are vegetarian, since it indicates some meat. But even if you don't follow the diet to a T, you can get some good advice about eating in general and about an anti-candida diet.

I don't think you need to be diagnosed to go on a grain free sugar free FRUIT free diet - the first two things here are probably not very good for anyone, so no loss in giving them up (except the mental one). The fruit you get to add back once you get back on track.

I figure for me, my digestive system's natural bugs just aren't robust enough yet to handle much fruit or to handle any sugar. Once they get back on track, I should be able to eat fruit again. Ah, peaches.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
