    What I have read about Casein is that it has a similar consistency to glue. So, for people who already have problems with inflammatory intestinal issues, a glue-like substance only makes things worse.

    Just to be sure, here's a list of goitrogenic foods that people with thyroid problems should avoid or limit/rotate: Broccoli Brussel sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower Kale Kohlrabi Mustard Rutabaga Turnips Millet Peaches Peanuts Radishes Soybean and soy products, including tofu Spinach Strawberries

    Hey there... Thanks for the info. There's actually a whole long thread of posts under another topic on this discussion. Look under the "Related Disorders" and "Other Food Intolerance and Leaky Gut Issues". Alot of people are with you on the Candida and Celiac, and there's many in-depth discussions and questions over in those forum topics.

    Okay, your story makes me feel better. Thank you very much for the support and for sharing your story! I appreciate it!!

    That's funny that you've tried the peroxide too. I was soaking my toothbrush in it too. Yeah, that didn't help me at all. I think it's important to disinfect the tooth brush after using it, so what you can do instead is go to your healthfood store and they usually sell natural antibacterial toothbrush cases that contain strong herbs that are known...

    I love your theory. We could all feel so well if we just ate right, but that is so overwhelming for so many people. I just don't understand it. What really kills me is all of their complaints that they shoot off at me but then they never want my advice. They know I'm going to tell them it's something they're eating (huge amounts of dairy and sugar and...

    I was always told they were a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe, but who knows if that's true. My family's not Dutch per se, but that general area in PA has alot of Pennslyvania Dutch families with really yummy recipes. Anyway, it's funny to hear someone outside of my family acknowledge the recipe!

    missy'smom, I'm just shocked that someone else has even heard of Porcupine Meatballs! It's one of my family's heirloom recipes that's been handed down, and definitely one of my favorites since childhood! You're not from Pennsylvania, are you? My family's from Erie and Marienville (sp??).

    AliB, I can definitely relate to alot of what you've written here. I too was on so so many antibiotics in my childhood and lifetime prior to my Hashimoto's diagnosis. No one knew, nor do they seem to know now, the terrible consequences and implications of so many rounds of antibiotics. It makes me so sad because I'm a freelance writer, but I support...

    Janeti, Nuts make my infection worse too. But it's really hard to eliminate them from my diet because there are already so few things I can eat, and nuts sort of have a filling effect. I think people in our predicament, however, would do better not eating them. I know alot of people who advocate anti-Candida diets say nuts are a no-no because they...

    Okay, Janeti, thanks for the info. I was going to send you a personal message, but decided instead that there are a ton of other people with Hashimoto's (or other autoimmune disease) that can definitely benefit from this thread. I TOTALLY (and I mean TOTALLY) know what you're going through. I say that because we both have Hashimoto's and Celiac and...

    Hi Gemini, Thanks so much for the response! The reason I would like an official diagnosis of sort is twofold. First, I'm an Aquarius and therefore I have a messiah complex and if I see my friends and family struggling with their health, I'm going to do everything I can to show them "the truth". I know this is a character flaw on my part...

    Janeti, I feel your pain! I'm still in this long process of fighting Candida and it's pretty miserable. So, there are a ton of people who know what you're going through. Alot of people have pretty quick success, but other people (like me) have been eating right for quite a while now, with minimal results. How long have you been on an anti...

    I know I read somewhere that Celiac/gluten allergy can cause oral ulcers. I have problems with this too and have for a very long time -- on the back of the tongue -- and once I read that info., all of my gluten symptoms started to make more and more sense. After being gluten-free for two and a half months, the ulcers have gotten much better and smaller...

    Hi there! I have Hashimoto's too (oh how I hate it! ), but no nodule/cyst to date. (Thank God). I'm just wondering if you do an anti-Candida diet as well as the gluten-free. I see by your signature that you're not eating yeast, but there are many other things to avoid on an anti-Candida diet. I do both diets and they really go hand-in-hand...

    Get your thyroid tested!!! Ask your doctor for a thyroid panel ASAP. Sounds alot like the things that I went through, and I have autoimmune disease of the thyroid. So sorry you're going through this.
  17. Lovey25
    Janeti, I have read research that describes the structure of gluten and yeasts to either be similar such that they work in the same way in the body to cause distress and symptoms, or that they work together to cause distress and symptoms. So, perhaps that's why most people with a gluten problem may also have Candida, and vice versa. Also, the...

    Something I'll add to the already great info on Lactose/Dairy/Casein is that I have heard Casein described as a glue-like substance, which causes the overgrowth of mucus. So that's why some people have a problem with Casein -- because it causes alot of mucus to be formed. And if you already have an inflammation problem, Casein definitely makes it worse...

    chatycady, I totally agree with you! Disease has totally given me purpose. I am so into nutrition and natural living and healing that I am considering going into it for a career. I'm looking into going into Holistic Nutrition. Thank you Disease!

    I did happen to see it. I thought the same thing -- that it was so great that they acknowledged it as important and legitimate. However, the Dr. kept talking about Celiac as a "wheat allergy" and it was annoying to me because that is mis-information -- people are going to stop eating wheat and miss so many other little additives and extracts and proteins...
  21. Lovey25
    Well, although I know my body (and health history, and family health history) well enough at this point, I would like to have something in paper for doctors and also for friends and family who are non-believers. Also, I'm active in other online discussions about Hashimoto's and I've told them about the link to Celiac, but having actual proof that they are...
  22. Lovey25
    How long can gluten be out of your system for you to still get a positive test result? I am convinced beyond a doubt that I have a gluten problem due to my family history and personal disease history and my "unexplainable" symptoms, and also my results once being off (two and a half months now). Also, I accidentally ingested gluten the other night and got...

    julirama723, I love love love the things that you've said here. I am so saddened by our culture's definition of healthy. It almost always is linked to being super skinny -- no matter what means will get you there. In reality, however, health is nutrition and nutrients!!!!!! When will this idea catch on??? My friends still don't get that a 3-month Weight...

    lobita, I don't live in Chicago, but that comment is annoying me too. People are always getting negative with me about my lifestyle-diet and I usually get so upset over their reactions. They make comments like that reviewer you mentioned: "Oh, I could never eat like that", or, "Oh, I just love cake and bread too much", or, "Corn and quinoa...

    ARCHIVED Candida

    Lovey25 replied to Lexi's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Lexi, I feel your pain. Because I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune of the thyroid) I have MAJOR (and I mean MAJOR) problems with Candida overgrowth. I have been on an anti-Candida diet for about a year and one month and it has helped a bit, but not so much overall. I follow these rules: no dairy, no sugar (includes natural ones), nothing fermented,...
