Wheat/corn Intolerant?! May Be Due To Paratises Infection? Please Help

Hi

I have been dealing with various types of gastrointestinal problems for more than a year now. I have been tested for H Pylori and did a bunch of others tests. None of them resulted in anything relevant. I recently did a test called (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) and a DNA test of my saliva. It came out I am extremely intolerant to Wheat and Corn. Although I stopped eating them I still feel very bloated, with nausea and constipation. I am arriving to the conclusion that I may have parasites. Does anybody know how to get a reliable diagnosis for this types of problems? Where can I find a good doctor in my area? Any web sites to recommend? Thanks!!!

Cristy,

Have you actually been tested for Celiac Disease though eithther a blood antibody test or a small intestine biopsy? The DNA testing at this point is a fairly crude tool and not a prarticularly reliable indicator of the presence of specific diseases.

Yes, I did the celiac panel blood test and it came out negative. I honestly do not think I became extremely intolerant to wheat and corn all of the sudden. I first got sick, with sudden severe abdominal cramps, when I was traveling abroad. After weeks of nausea, pain, loss of appetite and loss of weight the doctors did not come up with any specific diagnosis (did CT, MRI, Pipida scan, ecography, gastroscopy, colonoscopy); I was just treated for intestinal bacteria. Now, after 14 months since that episode, I have more appetite and gained back some weight but I still feel very bloated with constipation and abdominal pain on the upper-right of my navel.

This together with the fact that I feel often tired and occasionally as if I had the temperature made me thinking I might got infected with parasites. But I was told it is not easy to detect them. What should I do? Should I get an appointment with a naturopathic doctor? Maybe they have a different approach to this kind of problems. Thanks for your help!

Part of your problems may be parasites but laboratory tests for parasites which affect the digestive system are very poor. I worked in medical labs for years and often did the tests and found parasites in only about 1% of the samples. The Center for Disease Control has been warning the medical community that parasite infestation is much more common than was thought because the tests are just not able to find them. Because I have a damaged intestine I seem to pick up parasites very easily so routinely do herbal parasite programs to get them out. You might want to look at the Parasite forum at Curezone. Years ago while studying for my degree it was know then that parasite infestations caused people to develop allergies.

But there are other causes you might want to explore. Apparently you had an intestinal infection which left you with lingering problems. It may have damaged the intestinal wall and allowed food antigens into the body resulting in food allergies. It most likely left you with an unbalanced intestinal flora with toxin producing bacteria and yeasts over-growing your normal healthy intestinal organisms. Drs have their treatments for this but I and many others have found alternative treatments and programs are necessary to cope with this.

Thanks a lot. Your reply reassures me. Do you know of any good cleansing products? I am currently using Colonix and would like to get something natural that works against parasites. I have read about the products of Dr. Hulda Clark. Are they good? Thanks

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
