A Theory I Read...it Makes Sense

Hi guys,

We all know about what people call " gluten withdrawal reaction". I read a theory which makes sense but who knows...

If you are gluten intolerant, a lot of undigested food go to the colon and isn't digested properly by the small bowel. True, the lack of intestinal villi takes to this condition. Now, if this is happening, parasites and fungus like candida grow in the bowel because they trieve on undigested food and fermentation. Candida is kept in check by the inmunologic system , but if it is compromised attacking our own cells because the gluten reaction, there is no way to keep candida under control. If you eliminate gluten from your diet, the inmunologic system is less busy and has a better chance to attack candida overgrowing. When candida die, it releases toxins which are able to make you feel bad. It is like a candida die off reaction. Celiac and candida are linked , so it is good idea to attack both condition are the same time. It is a theory like many other but makes some sense. Let me know what you think about it.

Thanks,

GEORGE.

This was definitely the case for me! I believe it is for so many others, too, so I'm trying to spread the word.

Oy, that makes a lot of sense. I have parasites and I certainly had gluten "withdrawal" and I'm going through a bloody hell of a die-off / detox weeks into my gluten-free-ing it.

I wish it WEREN'T true. It's not fun. But it's a good hypothesis for the way people react, me included.

I am having the same symtoms - curious as to how you go about getting tested for parasites?

Hello all,

I am also having a problem currently with cadida. How do I attack the cadida problem?

Pre-diagnosis going low carb would kill it off but now I'm finding it impossible to do that. Many of the foods that made low-carb tolerable are no longer safe foods for me. I would be left with eggs, meat, lemon juice, strawberries, blueberries and greens.

I've seen the SCD plan and it will not work for me. I'm allergic to carrots, celery, parsnips, dairy protein and at least two kinds of yeast. And soy and...blah blah blah. Anyhow it isn't for me.

Any suggests would be greatfully welcomed,

Try if you can tolerate Threelac and Oxigen Element Max. Be aware of Threelac has some type of yeast in it. If not try Golden Seal, Oregano Oil, Coconot Oil, Grapefruit Seed Extract or any natural antifungal. Low sugar and carb diet is very important too.

You can go to an ordinary medical doctor and request that they take stool and urine samples; blood samples as well. Mine showed up in a blood test. But I also had enough symptoms to make it fairly obvious.

It can be hard to get someone in the mainstream med. community to take parasites seriously. But then, it's hard to get them to diagnose celiac often too.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Open Food Facts is a free food database: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/discover  There's an app to access it which is also free (with no in app commercials).   You can use it to look up information about foods such as ingredients, Nova score (to help avoid ultra processed foods), environmental impact and nutritional scores, allergy related information and more.  It can scan a product's barcodes and bring up relevant information about that product.  The project relies on volunteers to share information about products.  We can add information on our favorite gluten free products to share with each other.  It has several gluten free items in the database already:  https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl?search_terms=gluten+free&search_simple=1&action=process  I think it could make a great tool for people with celiac.

      You could try white willow bark, but make sure it's in a safe dosage range.  Herbs aren't regulated the way prescriptions are.  White willow bark works a lot like aspirin but is often milder on the stomach.  I used to use Nature's Way white willow bark.  I was told it was corn free at that time.  Double check with the manufacturer to make sure it's free of any of any allergens you're concerned with.
