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.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
