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.

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free.  Then I only got them when stressed.  Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?
    • Harris
      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
