So sorry! I did not want to start an argument. I have just been very despairing about the treatment. I was taking a sugar-loaded version of Nystatin (used for infants with thrush, it turns out!) and I feel like I didn't make any progress for the 2 months I was taking it. My die off has been worse over the last few days with Caprylic Acid, so I am thinking...

Thank you so much for this information! I had no idea that the ignorance went as deep as you point out it has. I figured the manufacturer knew what they were doing. But your point about infants and thrush makes sense. They can't take pills and would spit out something bad tasting. I have been good with the candida/no sugar or starch diet (not even diet...

I think you might be right. The pharmacist pointed out that the liquid Nystatin I was taking was 33% sucrose. The herxheimer reaction I got every time I took it could have been a reaction to liquid sugar. I am going to have the format of the Nystatin changed to pill form and take the herba anti-fungals my naturopath recommends. Does anyone else have...

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Celiac through a blood test along with candida albicans; my level for candida was +3.3 about 3 months ago. My Dr. put me on liquid Nystatin 1,000,000 units (about a tablespoon) 4x a day. I have been following the yeast and gluten free diet devoutly. I am wondering 2 things: Has anyone on this forum has had success...

I have been off gluten for 10 days and on the elimination diet for 4 days; I am now taking supplements to balance out what I do not get in the food. I do eat chicken for breakfast with some carrots or potato. Or I mix up the Vital Clear I was given by the naturopath. For the immediate future I am eating only organic vegetables and lean meat. My appetite is...

This was great advice! I tried it last night and slept hard, knowing that I could use my "pacifier" without fear. Thanks!

Hi, I hear the despair in your voice so clearly! I am so sad to hear how tired and sick you are feeling! I have just been diagnosed myself and maybe have a few tips that seem to be working. My naturopath told me that right now our livers are working very hard to detox and that we need to be extra careful in the short term. Her suggestions were a very...

Thanks so much for the quick feedback! I truly appreciate it.

Hi Everyone! I have found this forum so helpful, and I need to turn to you for advice about this. My dentist fitted me with a bite guard last summer. I love it. It's like a pacifier for me. But I know I've eaten gluten foods and put it in without brushing....My question--can I clean the dental appliance fully and continue to use it? Or do I need to have...

Just some food for thought....My naturopath said that while detoxing from gluten to avoid also anything that was fermented. Sometimes olives go through a fermentation process, so she told me to avoid them for a month or so.

Hi Larry, The skin burning was my primary symptom of Celiacs! It burned for me, just as for you, on my head, face and scalp mostly. The pain was unbearable. I once went to the emergency room for the agony (my first and only trip) because I knew that type of pain meant something very serious. I think presenting with burning rather than itching skin is why...

This also makes sense of the terrible anxiety that comes with detox!

Hi! I am new too. Like you, I have suspected something terrible for a while, but it is some kind of a relief knowing what is going on. Right now I am having withdrawal anxiety and some neurological pain. I am hoping they go away with a steady elimination diet. Please take care and keep me posted on how you are doing!

Hi Everyone, I am having the same horrible anxiety symptoms now about a week off of gluten! I am drinking water, but confused about what is okay to eat. I read a gluten detox blog that said to initially avoid fruit and juices (because of the sugar) and anything rich with fat (like eggs or red meat) that might overwork the liver and prolong the detox...
