I'm not an expert on the subject and it is a contoversial topic in medicine. Some drs don't believe that the condition truly exists, and some strongly believe so. From what I understand, the belief is that the healthy "yeast" bacteria that lives in your gut starts to flourish in your intestines, from the result of a high sugar diet. They burrow into the intestines and start to take over. Treatment usually includes a strict "yeast free" diet and probiotics to replace good bacteria. As far as testing, I think there are stool and urine tests, but I'm not sure. If you google "candida diet" you'll likely find more info. I hope I'm at least somewhat accurate in the info I provided, hopefully someone more knowledgable on the topic can pipe up.I think some drs believe this to be a symptom associated with consuming gluten when intolerant to it. Good luck...

One thing for sure, if you get off all yeast producing food items, it will help. You probably need to be on a good probiotic regimen. Start off at one pill a day, and up it to 3 pills a day. Eat plain multi-strain yogurt, (organic if you can). Eliminate wine, grapes and all yeast containing foods. I can tell you as a nurse, all OBs would recommend this regimen for yeast-overgrowth for female and certainly pregnant women. If your problem is yeast over-growth, you will get a "yeast die-off" after a few days. You may feel sick and flu-like, but it will pass. If you do this for a few weeks and are STILL not better, then take out all gluten laden foods. That might give you an answer.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
