A Question (Or Few) About Candida


zebaldwin

Recommended Posts

zebaldwin Explorer

This is somewhat of a random question, but I was just talking with someone who brought up the posibility of Candida. I am not sure how many people have experience or know about this, but most (probably all) my symptoms are on the list. My big question is that I do not have any kind of insance digestive problems. I usually have an upset stomach in the morning (every morning) and go to the bathroom a few times, but that is it.

My symptoms are mainly "neurological" (migraines, brain fog, weakness, etc)

Is Candida something I should look into? I have been gluten free for a week with no results, so maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but I'd like to get a headstart on someplace I could go from here, and even something I could do between doctors. (sounds like you can help or cure Candida on your own)

I appreciate any responses. Thanks!

From what I know about candida, you can manage it on your own with the candida diet. I think it basically consists of no sugars except from fruit and no yeast or vinegar. There is a lot more to it. I think there is a website that explains the diet.

A friend of mine has systemic candida and follows the diet.

I think I am going to try the pro-biotic. I have read many reviews on a particular one (treelac) that are 100% what I am going through...which I haven't really encountered anyone who has described it like I do.

It can't really hurt, and I'm sure I need it, so we'll see what happens.

I have heard great things about three lac too. Just make sure it is gluten free!

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
