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).
