I have been bothered with urinary tract infections and candida alot lately and am now wondering if it could be due to using tampons during my periods. I noticed it had cleared up but when my menses started, I began to have symptoms again. This is getting to be a viscious circle with antiboitics first and diflucan next. Not exactly a healthy diet if you ask me. Has anyone else been botherd with these kind of symptoms? Thanks for those who responded to "Dusted!" I am having the genetic blood test done for celiac as I have not been officially diagnosed yet but am pretty sure of it. Mainly this is for my peace of mind and my family who is very sick and in total denial of the whole celiac issue as they just refuse to change their diets. I really don't want my grandchildren to grow up sick. Thanks for your help , sis

I used to have that UTI problem constantly & my daughter had the same thing, each month if we were not sick, we soon would be. I think it is really because the monthly period drags your immune system down. Ours even had the same onset time, though different days, three oclock in the afternoon, whammo...

how long have you been gluten-free? are you also dairy free? i would say that you should also analyze your diet & do a nutritional overhaul, exercise routine is important, take a multi vitamin & take a sublingual B12, & make sure you are not anemic, & eat plenty of meat...

I would say that sugar free would help you. I am on zero sugar and zero fruit right now, trying to rid myself of an candida and bacteria in my intestines and elsewhere. Sugar feeds bacteria. It's only tough for the first few days, and if you can handle stevia (an herb), it can make it easier to handle the no sugar...it's sweet, but isn't sugar.

Since I've quit sugar entirely, I have no intestinal bloating and I'm not on the verge of bacterial vaginosis all the time (you can tell, you know what I mean).

p.s. I plan to add fruit back once my system feels nice and clean, probably three months...and then slowly.

thanks for the reply, i know i should quit the sugars again. I have been trying that for years, but when my system gets cleared out as soon as i have even any food that has a little sugar in it i have such a reaction, it is almost scary. i would get light headed and dizzy and candida and uti imediately. it really stinks. i had my genetic test a week ago mon. and they said the results should be back in a couple of days. I am also supposed to see a nutritionist soon so maybe that will help weed out all the foods I am not tolerating right now. I have fought candida and uti's for over 25 years! Thanks for your advice. sistergoldenhair

hi gfpaperdoll, i have been gluten free for almost 5 years excluding the slip ups which have taught me some good lessons. i have been wondering about dairy and also sugars. I forgot to tell bully4you, that i do use stevia instead of sugar but unfortunatley they put reg. sugar in some of the gluten free foods which also bothers me. i do excercise , take my mult. and b-12. it's a guessing game i think until i go to the nutritionist and see about more food testing. I had my genetic blood test done a week ago on Mon. now waiting for the results. Good luck to you and your daughter. Thanks, sister golden hair

      Family education

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      I have never been tested for tTg 6 antibodies but I will certainly do that next time I'm at the doc's.  Maybe there's a home test kit for that?  I drink lactose free milk and seem to be ok so I'm probably not a casein case but...who knows?!

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Life Extension brand Mega Benfotiamine, (250 mg with each of two meals) and Maxlife Natural TTFD-B1 Max Thiamine (100 mg).   I try to take my Benfotiamine and TTFD before four pm, otherwise I have so much energy, it can be hard to fall asleep.

      Some people react to the Casein in dairy the same as to gluten, like me.  I avoid dairy avidly because I get ataxia so bad. Some Celiac people produce tTg 6 antibodies in response to gluten or casein.  tTg 2 antibodies are what blood tests for Celiac measure.  tTg 6 antibodies are also found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, contributing to ataxia.  Have you been checked for tTg 6 antibodies?   P. S.  Can you share your B vitamin test results?

      I agree that you were not eating sufficient gluten prior to your endoscopy.
