A Theory I Read...it Makes Sense

Hi guys,

We all know about what people call " gluten withdrawal reaction". I read a theory which makes sense but who knows...

If you are gluten intolerant, a lot of undigested food go to the colon and isn't digested properly by the small bowel. True, the lack of intestinal villi takes to this condition. Now, if this is happening, parasites and fungus like candida grow in the bowel because they trieve on undigested food and fermentation. Candida is kept in check by the inmunologic system , but if it is compromised attacking our own cells because the gluten reaction, there is no way to keep candida under control. If you eliminate gluten from your diet, the inmunologic system is less busy and has a better chance to attack candida overgrowing. When candida die, it releases toxins which are able to make you feel bad. It is like a candida die off reaction. Celiac and candida are linked , so it is good idea to attack both condition are the same time. It is a theory like many other but makes some sense. Let me know what you think about it.

Thanks,

GEORGE.

This was definitely the case for me! I believe it is for so many others, too, so I'm trying to spread the word.

Oy, that makes a lot of sense. I have parasites and I certainly had gluten "withdrawal" and I'm going through a bloody hell of a die-off / detox weeks into my gluten-free-ing it.

I wish it WEREN'T true. It's not fun. But it's a good hypothesis for the way people react, me included.

I am having the same symtoms - curious as to how you go about getting tested for parasites?

Hello all,

I am also having a problem currently with cadida. How do I attack the cadida problem?

Pre-diagnosis going low carb would kill it off but now I'm finding it impossible to do that. Many of the foods that made low-carb tolerable are no longer safe foods for me. I would be left with eggs, meat, lemon juice, strawberries, blueberries and greens.

I've seen the SCD plan and it will not work for me. I'm allergic to carrots, celery, parsnips, dairy protein and at least two kinds of yeast. And soy and...blah blah blah. Anyhow it isn't for me.

Any suggests would be greatfully welcomed,

Try if you can tolerate Threelac and Oxigen Element Max. Be aware of Threelac has some type of yeast in it. If not try Golden Seal, Oregano Oil, Coconot Oil, Grapefruit Seed Extract or any natural antifungal. Low sugar and carb diet is very important too.

You can go to an ordinary medical doctor and request that they take stool and urine samples; blood samples as well. Mine showed up in a blood test. But I also had enough symptoms to make it fairly obvious.

It can be hard to get someone in the mainstream med. community to take parasites seriously. But then, it's hard to get them to diagnose celiac often too.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
