Yeast/parasites


Joyous

I read that having an overgrowth of yeast in your intestines or having parasites can cause a lot symptoms that are very similar to Celiac/gluten allergy/sensitivity, and that one can see improvement on a gluten free diet without having Celiac Disease simply because you're getting less yeast in your diet.

There's no "elimination diet" to determine if you have either of these things, so lab testing is the only way. I don't want to cut out gluten if that's not the real problem, but when I seriously consider paying for these tests I start to feel like a hypochondriac again. <_<

Does anyone have any experience with these things?

I don't know how expensive the blood test is...I had insurance when I got mine. I will say that lots of folks with Celiac Disease have troubles with yeast and parasites as well, due to years of faulty digestion.

You could do a candida cleanse diet, and then add back gluten - then if you get had you'll know to be suspicious of gluten. You could go gluten-free because it's healthy in other ways: less mineral loss, lower incidence of diabetes, etc....(grains are not all they're cracked up to be, no pun intended).

I don't know. What I do know is that if you do have Celiac, and you continue to eat gluten, you are putting yourself in great danger for developing other illnesses, up to and including cancer. Lots to consider, of course.

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:
