Ok, at first I thought my gluten intolerance was just Candida since I noticed major improvements when I removed all grains. Since supposedly this is what Candida feeds off of. Then I obviously realized it was just gluten.

In my experience there has to be some link between Candida and Celiac Disease as recent research has shown that Candida could possibly even cause diseases such as Celiac and Crohn's.

I think a lot of people (some do though) who are still suffering from gluten intolerance symptoms even after going gluten free are still suffering because they are not doing enough to treat the Candida. I'm not trying to promote this product, but it really does work wonders for me. It is called Threelac. It is supposedly a yeast eating probiotic which is what Candida, in its harmful form is. But it is rather expensive at around 45 bucks. Why do you think people still suffering from gluten intolerance symptoms even after going gluten free find some relief in the specific carbohydrate diet? - because it's the removal of all grains, basically anything that Candida can feed off of.

Basically, I just want to get the point across that after you get "gluttened" or are still suffering from celiac disease symptoms even after going gluten free. Do some research online for the treatment of Candida and follow some of those steps. Try to follow an anti-inflammatory diet and take some anti-fungal, anti-bacterial herbs such as garlic and/or cloves.

I hope this helps as I know a lot of people are still suffering and hopefully this can help speed up the healing process. If you have anymore questions please feel free to PM me. I feel I know more about Candida than I do Celiac and when I treated myself for Candida I noticed massive improvements. And once again, I do not want to get in trouble for the promotion of a specific product, but I do highly recommend it. And as you can clearly see if you look at all my other posts, I am not some random guy working for the company that makes Threelac, I am just a gluten intolerance sufferer like many of you.

Hey there...

Thanks for the info. There's actually a whole long thread of posts under another topic on this discussion. Look under the "Related Disorders" and "Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut Issues". Alot of people are with you on the Candida and Celiac, and there's many in-depth discussions and questions over in those forum topics.

Thanks for your insight. I'm with you on the candida problem being related. I don't think candida overgrowth however causes celiac, more like the reverse if anything due to undigested proteins and inflammation. Candida is so very opportunistic.

I tried threelac by the way and it didn't really do that much for me. Going off all the trace glutens did more as well as using enterically coated acidophilus, oregano oil and garlic plus lots of veggies. Herbs like marshmallow root and slippery elm soothe and heal the lining of the gut, the source of all or most of these troubles. Barberry Root seems a specific against candida overgrowth.

Cleavers seems to help too by keeping the lymphs cleaned out. Dandelion helps by taking the load off the liver. Yellow dock seems to help the intestines deal with everything better plus is a good detox of yeast and fungus and microbes plus helps with peristalsis and the liver and bile production to some extent.

Like you, I do notice eating less in the way of any kind of ground up grains seems to be essential for keeping candida at bay.

Right now I am also trying the ancient aryuvedic "oil pull" method for better health to see if that helps too...

I apologize if this information was somewhat redundant.. just trying to spread the word.

not redundant at all-- this is a place for sharing, so feel free to share!

There are multiple strains of yeast that can be involved in candida over growth and there are specific herbs etc that can be effective in killing each one. When I was seeing a natropathic DR she had a stool test done on me which revealed yeast over growth and the specific strain so we were able to tackle it with Caprilic Acid (sp?) which seems to have kicked it.

Glad you were able to find the right thing to get rid of your Candida-- dont you all wish we could just be normal sometimes! The SCD would seem to and is designed to take care of candida as well (regardless of what strain it is).

Is it costly to get the stool test done? I am kind of curious myself...

In all honesty I have been wondering if threelac would help more now than previously due to my now being off all trace gluten.

Meanwhile I saw recently they sell gluten-free caprillic acid by Now. What brand did you use?

Meanwhile I am discovering I can tolerate a small amount of grapefruit seed extract to help counteract the fungal overgrowth of whatever sort it is.

I never seem to entirely eliminate it, probably due to my love of teff/brown rice flour/amaranth/quinoa/sorghum (I use what I have, mix and match) pancakes with cooked brown rice roughly half and half. I only seem to tolerate one pancake a day. But my spirit doesn't want to go entirely cold turkey--as I used to. Probably a mistake. But there it is, human nature.

I don't even eat fruit except lemons (I make lemonaide using one lemon squeezed in a tall glass of water with stevia as a sweetner without the actual sugar) or straight cranberry juice (similarly diluted in water with stevia to taste).

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
