Any Advice On Threelac?

Hey everybody,

My name is Taylor and I am a 24 year old male. A brief history of my problems start back in August of 2010. I tried Prilosec OTC for 5 days due to some NSAID burn and I had a terrible reaction. Turns out my liver did not have the correct enzymes in order to eliminate the Prilosec and I literally had no acid in my stomach for over a month. I have been sick ever since but it has recently been getting steadily worse.

Symptoms include: Adrenal Fatigue, eye floaters, gluten intolerance, pounding heart (from adrenal fatigue), intolerance to heat/humidity (the shower), lethargy, brain fog, eczema, poor digestion, intolerance to exercise, esophagitis, post nasal drip and some other I can't remember right now.

I thought it was just gluten intolerance and have been gluten free for a month now. Little improvement but not enough to write home about. Just got some test results back from my holistic doctor and I have adrenal fatigue, overgrowth of bad bacteria, and a serious Candida infection (stool test). This nasty little buggar burrows into your small intestines with things called rhizoids and can cause leaky gut syndrome, which I think I have. In turn, this can create Celiac type symptoms. I got this news about a week ago and have been on a strict diet with some supplements since then. I am on a meat and veggies only diet and am taking, garlic supplements, colloidal silver, probiotic (20 bill), and 2000mg of vitamin C daily. I honestly don't feel that much better.

I have seen alot of "treatments" for candida but ThreeLac has a ton of postive reviews of speedy and extensive results. I have also seen a decent amount of bad reviews that say the the entro.fae. bacteria can be dangerous.

Does anybody have any advice or experience with this?

Threelac has helped me. I've read those reviews too but I've never had a bad reaction to it. I have found that I have to do other yeast-killing measures while I take it though. As well as the meat and veggies diet, coconut oil is great, and I've also really liked Zand Candida Quick Cleanse.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
