Interesting article...thanks for sharing. I had intestinal candida for a while until we finally got me on something to clear it up. I wonder if that also contributed to me getting celiac disease.

interesting. My celiac def. flared up rather intensely after a severe systemic candida infection after my C-section incision got infected and I was injected with massive doses of antibiotics (which ALWAYS trigger yeast infections in me).

I took the article to my doctor (general practitioner) and she really appreciated it. It's a good resource because it actually documents medical journals. I *still* have a candida infection and am wondering if the gluten free diet is really doing that much good while I have it :huh: I mean... I do feel better, but if your body recognizes candida (with an identical protein sequence) as wheat - then wouldn't it seem that your body thinks it has gluten in it all the time?

I've had this infection for over a year (recurrent) and I seriously think it is correlated to my increase in health problems - with celiac, allergies, and everything else.

I'm more that a little bit disturbed by this! I need to get copies of the actual journals to take to my gastro & ask him it.

Hi Bean,

i do believe your on the right path with mercola, holland and kaufmann. Personnaly, i am ont the mercola no grain diet and doug kaufmann's diet also for 6 month. I can't say i am completely healed but i have gain weight (muscles) that i had lost when fallen sick 2 years ago. i can say that i have experienced more improvement in 6 month than in 1 year and a half on gluten free diet alone.

After 1 year on gluten free diet, i started to have allergies i did'nt had before (in other words, my case was worsening). i have bought methabolic typing diet by wolcott and fahey and in this book, there is a test to see what is your methabolic type (protein type, carb type, or the mixed type). It turned out for me that i was a protein type. that explain why i do improve on the mercola no grain diet and the diet of doug kaufmann. Now , i am testing the theory of wolcott and fahey about oxalic acid and calcium absorbtion, and my body seem to respond verry well to that theory also.

i mean, i have always did sport and one of the most frustrating thing whit celiac disease for me was i didn't had the same performances as before. but now that performances problem seems to be story of the past. so if you want to try something, i do believe this is something to give a try.

A great website for yeast infections is candidafree.com. They state that their product out of Japan cures candida in 100% of the cases. It is not an overnight thing - takes up to six months. The testimonial section is quite impressive. I am taking their product, ThreeLac and am seeing so steady results - I have gluten-free for nine weeks and on ThreeLac for about four weeks. Some of the more outstanding symptoms of candida are abating. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for the article. I think that ruling out celiac/candida in chronic illnesses of any sort makes so much difference. I am a therapist and am seeing a lot of positive changes in my clients who are bi-polar and are willing to go gj.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
