Going Yeast And Gluten Free?

Hi, my name is Gabi...I do not believe that I have Celiac disease...I believe that I have a Candida overgrowth and I am looking to rectify that problem. The biggest obstacle so far: Finding out what foods I can and cannot eat!

I have researched to my death and I keep coming up with the same information: "If you go yeast free, go gluten free at the same time"...BUUT, I cannot find any information on foods that are safe and foods that I should avoid while doing both at the same time...I keep finding one or the other...and there is so much conflicting information!

I had wanted to print out the lists from this website by copy/pasting the list into a word document, but it creates an 11 page list that leaves half of the paper unused and, being an earth lover, I cannot justify wasting the paper!

Help!! Does anyone here have experience with eliminating yeast/gluten/sugar/dairy from their diets? I really need some pointers!

I cannot be the only person in this world trying to do this diet...can I??

Thanks so much, any information would be appreciated! :)

I have had very bad acid reflux for the past 2 years. My brother, a D.O. in Maine, gave me an organic yeast test. It came back with very high levels of yeast. He put me on a gluten, sugar, and dairy, yeast elimination diet for 6 months. It was basically a vegetable (except mushrooms-due to the fungus), meat, and rice diet. It was hard to begin with but, I eventually got used to it. I am now off the diet and I slowly reintroduced those things I couldn't eat while on the diet. I still have problems with gluten.

I am in the process of doing the gluten challenge so I can be tested. I did really well when I was gluten-well. I have several rashes that look like DH which have been there for about 8 months or so. I don't know for sure yet since I have not been tested. I hope this helps!

That does help, thank you so much!! I had started to get really confused about rice lol... some lists said to avoid it, others said limit it, and still others said have at it!

Now, do you know about corn products...like grits and cornmeal? I've read to avoid corn in it's vegetable form, but again, conflicting information on corn as a cereal/flour.

I continued eating corn products, such as grits. In either form I ate corn. So, I think it is fine.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By RMJ · Posted

      Antibodies to Deamidated gliadin peptides.  It is another celiac antibody test. The main test is the one you had, TTG,  But a full panel will also include DGP IgA and IgG.  I was positive on all of them!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      Thank you @Scott Adams and @trents this is very helpful, and I think I have some solid ideas to bring to my doctor (corticosteroids, testing for chron’s, increasingly strict gluten-free diet)  @RMJ thank you this is definitely reassuring as well, I’m feeling frustrated and hopeless because I have gone through a similar progression of increasing strictness, and am now at a level similar to what you describe, but have not seen any changes in my blood results. I am now thinking to cut out processed foods altogether maybe with the help of a dietician? I’m also worried about cross contamination from the tables or microwave at my work (there is often free pizza and such sitting). It just feels so restrictive to not see or feel any results

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the Tribe!   Take the Celiac diagnosis and run with it! P.S.  Yes, adopting a gluten free diet is a big mental adjustment.  Many go through the five stages of grief.  Many are relieved to have a definitive diagnosis instead of being a walking medical mystery.    The forum here can help with lots of articles and years of experience to get you started on your Celiac journey.  Best wishes!

      This was the advice from the GI physician:  "We discussed that your work-up is equivocal for celiac disease due to discordant serologies and biopsy results. As we discussed the gliadin DGP Ab IgA has a lower sensitivity (87%) and specificity (80-95%) for celiac disease compared to tissue transglutaminase Ag IgA (sensitivity of 95%, specificity of >95%, which you tested negative for). Your duodenal biopsies were normal; though in mild cases of celiac disease, affected areas can be patchy. While about 90% of individuals with celiac disease carry the HLA-DQ2 allele, many people in the general population also carry this allele without developing celiac disease.  In the context of some of your symptoms of GI upset, it's possible that you may have either irritable bowel syndrome, gluten intolerance, or a very mild case of celiac disease. As we discussed, sometimes we can attempt a high gluten diet for 6-12 weeks with a repeat EGD and biopsies. Or, you can treat this as if you had celiac disease by being gluten free and see if it helps with some of your other GI symptoms. We decided to take the second approach. In patients with celiac disease, we do monitor vitamin levels every year. We would also get a DXA scan to screen for osteoporosis. I have ordered these studies for this year; subsequent checks can be done via your primary care doctor's office."
