Yeast Overgrowth Same Symptoms As Celiac


buckwheat

Recommended Posts

I have all the celiac symptoms. Felt better from eating gluten-free even better when avoiding SUGAR I have just learned. Thought I might have DH on my elbows but its more of a poriasis look. The rash has cleared up more in 1 week from a kidding refined sugar than 1 year gluten-free. Problem is candida creates a gluten intorelance, I get the instant brain fog ect just like celiac. So I don't know if I have celiac which has caused a yeast overgrowth, or a yeast overgrowth resulting In a gluten intorelance. Anyone going through this?

*Avoiding refined sugar

ndw3363 Contributor

This is my life - I cut out sugar...still sick.  Cut out gluten, got better (rash gone).  Brought sugar back..got sick rash came back.  If I eat sugar or any carbs whatsoever, my scalp breaks out in flakes, my face gets red/oily and starts to burn, and eventually, the itchy rash on my elbows will come back.  I am no longer getting the yeast infections (knock on every piece of wood known to man), but I think that's because I stopped taking the bc pill a year ago.  During a particularly bad PMS week, I threw caution to the wind and had a few glasses of wine and some cream cheese frosting (don't judge)...next day, itchy head, oily gross skin, irritable attitude...know what that lead to?  Anger and more indulging!!  Stupid endless cycle of crap.  If I'm very strict on my no sugar, no alcohol, no carb diet, I feel great.  But then I end up pissed at the world cause I can't even have a glass of wine with friends on a warm Spring afternoon!!!  Someday I'll either stop whining or figure out a different solution...until then, I'm in the same boat with you.  Wish I had something more positive to share.

This is coming from a Super-Sensitive standpoint:

 

I am not eating sweets.  (since 7 Years)   I haven't had gluten for about a year.  I am avoiding grains.  (l year)  I am avoiding foods I have antibodies to (6 weeks)  Both when I began avoiding grains and other intolerances I experienced a "yeast cleanse."  Hopefully, this will do the trick!

 

In my thoughts, I think the celiac came first and lowered my immunity level.  I am thinking that my intense sweet tooth, when I was little, fed the yeast.  I also had several long and short pennecilin shots when I was young.  This kills the good bacteria in the gut and leaves plenty of yeast and bad guys to take over.

 

I am feeling so much better that I don't mind not eating sweets so much.  The exception being when I am eaten in front of.  I am feeling less upset about that as I realize that not everyone has as big a problem as I would.

      @cristiana, I'm thinking the intensity of our response to the same amount of gluten can vary from time to time. Our bodies are a dynamic entity.

      I'm going to try Jersey Mike's soon--we have one nearby. Thanks for sharing!

      Hi @trents Two things can happen:  1/ For a very small gluten hit, I will get a slightly sore stomach for a few days, maybe a day or two following the glutening, and (TMI warning) maybe slightly loose BMs with mucus  for a couple of days.  2/ For a substantial glutening, and thankfully it's only happened once in recent years,  I get bad chills, followed by vomiting, and my heartbeat is all over the place and I can hardly stand.  It's pretty extreme.  That happens within about 2 hours of eating the gluten.  I might feel slightly dizzy for a couple of days after the glutening episode. Interestingly I've just been out to a cafe which hitherto has made a big thing about how their french fries are cooked in a separate fryer.  I shared some with a friend and they were served with chilli sauce, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and fried onions.  Definitely not health food!  Anyway,  I'd eaten half when I realised I'd not checked the menu to ensure that this dish is still gluten-free - and it turns out it isn't!!!  They've changed the ingredients and the fried onions are now cooked with wheat.   I came home expecting to feel dreadful as I had no idea how much gluten I have consumed but so far if anything I feel just little queasy.  I think I'd have thrown up by now had there been a lot of gluten in the onions.

      It might be wise to start him on small amounts and work up to 10g. Monitor how he reacts. Some people simply cannot complete the gluten challenge because it makes them too ill. By the way, you can buy powdered gluten in health food stores, at least here in the states you can. With a food scale, it would be easy to measure the amount being consumed in a day. I'm not sure what the intensity of reaction to gluten tells you about what's actually going on with regard to celiac disease. I mean there are some celiacs like me who don't seem to react to minor exposure amounts but who get violently ill with larger exposures. Then there are celiacs who get some kind of reaction to even the tiniest amount of exposure but don't necessarily get violently ill. And how the reaction manifests itself is very different for different people. Some, like me, experience emesis and diarrhea. Others just get brain fog. Others get joint pain. It's all over the map.

      That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\
