(Chicken/egg question) Which is first, the gluten or the candida?

So... I'm not sure I have fully certified Candida, but the first few times since quitting gluten that I accidentally got glutened, I had some of the rash situation, and part of it was uh... down there.

Anyway, last time it got very itchy and looked kind of sweaty, eww... and I came across the possibility that even a guy can get some yeast buildup down there especially from a compromised immune system, which gluten causes. Now, got glutened on Friday and in curious timing I have a white bump on my penis. Good thing the weekend is already over. I hope this thing goes away.

I have read both that gluten screw ups that weaken the immune system can cause some kind of yeast built up, and that Candida can cause various temporary food sensitivities...

So which more commonly (or always) comes first?

Oh I suppose if it wasn't already implied, I should add my own testimony on the matter...

In my case, the gluten intolerance symptoms showed up months before the candida like stuff, and in slow motion. I just started like, not doing too well with bagels, getting terrible stomach aches and bloating. Then over time add on a bunch of the other typical gluten intolerance symptoms and some to soy as well...

Then the last soy episode and the recent gluten episode both had me getting some skin looking like candida. Before those, I twice got the more Dh looking rash. I still get that on my feet.

Anyway, as I have to say in pretty much every post, ugh... what an annoying set of symptoms to have to reckon with each time I make a mistake.

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
