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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
