Candida & Celiac...An Interesting New (?) Link

[Guest guest]

Dear Bee & Gang,

My sister, who has no known history of candida, was just diagnosed

with Celiac Disease yesterday. Since it runs in families, I plan on

getting tested soon, too. The interesting thing, though, is this link

she sent me (knowing I have candida... & may be a Celiac, too).

http://www.denvernaturopathic.com/news/celiac.html

I think it's fascinating that the body may interpret yeast as

gluten...and that if you're a Celiac, even if you stop eating gluten,

may still be just as afflicted by Celiac symptoms till you clear out

the candida!

Personally, when I learned this, I almost burst into tears because my

own journey with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome over the past several years

has been hell...now I see there is at least a possibility of hope for

recovery.

I hope this article helps someone. My sister was diagnosed via an

endoscopy (colonoscopy won't do it since it affects the small

intestines)....though I hear some of the newer blood tests can detect

even the most subtle variations of Celiac.

peace,

+++Hi . All candida sufferers are celiac! And usually people

who are celiac also have candida. Also candida runs in families.

+++I don't necessarily agree that the body interprets yeast as

gluten, but it isn't important in the big scheme of things. Most

people nowadays cannot tolerate gluten since gluten grains are all

genetically modified and are also mycotoxic (fungal-type toxin) which

is inherently grown in them. Also grains must be properly prepared

to make them fit for human consumption, otherwise they block

absorption of minerals, and interfere with protein digestion. Grains

are also very high in starches/carbs and turn into glucose inside the

body spiking up insulin production.

+++Awe . I understand how you feel. Yes, there definitely is

hope for recovery. That's why my program does not include grains of

any kind.

The best to you, Bee
