Gluton Intolerance And Candida

This is dire,

Since going on my gluten free diet I have felt much healthier, though since I started to eliminate yeast I have been feeling even better ( though I also would like to get my thyroid check). So after reading up on candida, I was informed about a spit test:Open Original Shared Link

I'm excited to know about the home test and plan to do the test tomorrow morning. Though just to test it early, I decided to also try the test today. Within seconds of my spit floating at the top string like legs begin to form, and at the end of the legs cloud like particles.

How likely is it that I may just have candida and not gluten intolerance, but felt improvement of symptoms going gluten free due to my reduce diet of certain foods? I also still question about getting my thyroid check. Most visible symptoms of improvements going gluten free was a improvement of hair texture ( partial, but not fully... ), a small decrease in eczema/ acne. Since I've eliminated yeast lately ( do not want to go on Candida diet since I want accurate test results by doctor) my rash seem to have been going away some, lump feels a little different, and I feel somewhat healthier....

(Need a candida and thyroid test done. Have been neglected by local hospital.)

I also have done the spit test. Was positive. Then when I saw my Dr a few weeks ago she verified that yes I have a systemic candida infection.

      Can you link the 2019 JAMA study? When you say "massive doses of D" how large are you talking about?

      Yes, Yaya, it is possible to develop vitamin D toxicity with overdosing since it is a fat soluble vitamin but the dosage needed to get to that point is much larger than was thought years ago. Years ago, doctors were very cautious about D supplementation but more recently the medical community has relaxed their caution as it proved to be overdone. Individual practitioners are not always up to date on everything and sometimes are operating on dated information.

      Kitty, Be careful with massive transfusions of D, it's dangerous per my cardiologist.  Your note made me confirm and he's right.  I found this article called:  Too much vitamin D may harm bones, not help - Harvard Health The study was released on Dec 1, 2019 · and appeared in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA which found that, compared with people who took moderate amounts of vitamin D, adults who took large amounts daily not only didn't see additional gains in bone density, but in some cases ended up worse off.  I especially must be careful because, like many Celiacs, I have low bone density.  I have been taking Prolia shots for about 5 years.   Also there is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity per my cardiologist.  That's why he carefully monitors my #s and wants me to raise levels slowly.   Take care.

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.
