    A sore swolen tongue can be a sign of many things. But for a celiac it points to candidiasis. Yes the orange juice is probably causative because of the high sugar content, and possibly because of its natural dyes. I came to the candida realization through ingesting orange juice too. Likely as not your son has the same kind of problem at the other end of his...

    To me, one of the toughest parts of celiac disease is the diagnosis. Doctor ignorance seems to be rampant.

However, candida has a dormant state...

    You might have the HLA-DQ8 gene like 5-10% of known celiacs. In that case it could take 6 months before you start improving. And that's assuming your other symptoms are related. The only person I've talked to with celiac-related thyroid issues was diagnosed first with Graves disease before his celiac diagnosis. After going gluten free it took a year,...
