Hi I posted a few days ago that sugar was making me bloat really bad.I since discovered that if I take probiotics when I bloat I feel better....could that mean it is a candida issue??

It could. I think however that probiotics are good for most everyone with severe gluten intolerance or celiac since it helps restore the beneficial flora in the gut.

Nevertheless, your problem with the sugar is a good indicator its either candida or some other fungal problem or dysbiosis from some bacteria. In any case, a low carb diet for now would more than likely help you. Plus products that have caprylic acid or maybe a good multi spectrum anti candida/anti bacterial herbal concoction that has oregano oil, black walnut and a variety of other anti fungals etc. in it. . A friend of mine is taking one; if you'd like I can ask what it is. Pao de arco is also helpful. Just don't take the pro biotic at the same time you take stuff to kill off the bugs..

Yolo, that would be great, . Is it common for celiac's to have bacteria issues? If yes, Do you know why?

OK--My friend takes a product called Biocidin to the best of my recollection. I can confirm this tomorrow at work. He also uses colloidal silver. Another thing that helps against candida/fungus/and bacteria infections of the gut is grapefruit seed extract. Uva ursi is also good against various intrasigent bacteria, plus its very healing for the urinary tract and kidneys.

If your tummy feels tender after eating, its also a good idea to take marshmallow root capsules to reduce inflammation and create a soothing, healing effect. I use nattokinase to reduce inflammation and scar tissue in the gut as well as elsewhere. It also cleans out the vascular system and creates better blood flow. Don't use it if you are a bleeder however unless you also take vitamin K.

I have noticed that dysbiosis caused by candida overgrowth, fungi or bacteria seem to be common amongst those who have celiac or severe gluten intolerance. Its likely due to the fact the gluten already disrupted the gut flora from the damage to the villi. Its then easy to react or become sensitive to a whole lot of foods since undigested proteins from the leaky gut go into your bloodstream. And meanwhile the gut itself becomes prime territory for opportunistic candida overgrowth etc.

In the meantime you look and feel ill and modern day docs tend to prescribe antibiotics willy nilly when in doubt as to the cause of your distress. So put that together and you often get a mess. Including sometimes getting overgrowth of mutated bacteria that the antibiotics don't/can't kill. Part of the reason for this is that its often hard to bounce back from the antibiotics without taking enterically coated pro-biotics and doing a bunch of stuff to heal the inflammation, which of course includes being off all gluten.

Does any of this make sense to you?? It took me a while to figure it out. I hope it helps save you some time on your road to recovery.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
