Can Having Raised Ttg Can Be Caused By Candida?

Just still reading, researching trying to work out / rule out any other cause of my high ttg.

Just wondering if a candida infection in my small intestine is commonly known to cause postive ttg in the bloods? A naturopath diagnosed me with systemic candida 2 years ago, and treated me for it. Back then my ttg was borderline, now it's positive. Cant imagine that the candida would be worse now though, but I guess maybe....

It does say arthritis can be associated with ttg, I wonder if people are celiac so they get inflammed and get arthritis, and this is what the Drs are seeing, or if just having normal arthritis really does cause a production of these autoimmune antibodies. I don't understand why it would though, unless it was the autoimmune arthritis. My knees seem to make some crunching noises, I guess that means I've got early arthritis, but I wonder why the body produces ttg to normal arthritis I wonder. That's why I was thinking that maybe all those people were actually celiacs?

Sorry, I know I'm fixating a bit, I'm just frusterated with waiting, and wondering. I'm doubting it because I didn't have the genes and can't get a look at what I do have. Sorry I'm harping on a bit.

So of ALL the reasona I can find for ttg, the only one that seems to relate to maybe me is arthritis. Or if candida can do it, if not then yes it must be celiac.

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
