Yeast overgrowth can definitely cause allergies. People with

dysregulated immune systems are particularly susceptible to chronic,

systemic yeast overgrowth. Many autistic children are particularly

vulnerable. Candida can eventually evolve from a yeast form into a

fungal form, and very long, root-like structures called rhizoids

puncture the intestinal lining, leading to leaky gut syndrome. This

creates holes in the digestive tract, allowing many foreign and toxic

substances to pass into the bloodstream. When undigested food

particles leak through these holes and enter the bloodstream, the

body views them as foreign invaders. The candida organisms that pass

through the blood stream have been found to produce over 70 known

toxins that will poison and strain the major organs in the body,

including the liver, kidneys, heart, colon, bladder, and central

nervous system. The ability to absorb and digest the necessary

nutrients from foods eaten is dramatically reduced.

Among the toxins produced is acetaldehyde, a poison that is converted

by the liver into alcohol. As alcohol builds up in the system,

symptoms associated with alcohol intoxication develop. This is why

one of the most common symptoms of candida is brain fog, confusion,

inappropriate laughter....almost like being drunk. The body's immune

system may also respond to candida toxins and food molecules in the

bloodstream with high histamine production. This in turn can result

in classic symptoms of allergies and food intolerances, and if left

untreated, can eventually lead to autoimmune disorders such as

arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease or

colitis, diabetes, lupus, as well as many skin disorders.

What are non histamine allergies??? How do you test for them? Can they cause

anaphylaxis?

I know people who have candida related to food intolerances, or

Non-IgE allergies are more likely to cause gastrointestinal reactions,

and often damage the lining of the intestines...any damage to the

intestines has the potential for causing yeast over growth.

No, only IgE allergies can cause anaphylaxis. There aren't really any

reliable tests for non-IgE allergies, unfortunately, and that is what

is the most frustrating thing about them! With my son, we worked with

a pediatric gastrointerologist and put him on a total elimination

diet...then when all his symptoms cleared up (eczema, diarrhea, and

behavior problems/crying mostly) we added foods back in one at a time

until symptoms came back. We ended up with a list of 14 offending

foods at the end of food trials, the worst on being corn. His lactose

intolerance was tested positive by endoscopy...not what we did the

scope for, but the only test result that came back positive.

There are plasma IgG allergy tests, but the thing with IgG, if not

exposed to the food within a few weeks, it should disappear. In other

words, you need to be in regular contact with a given food before the

IgG test will show any positive amount, and that's only if food

allergy to that food exists.

We were told that those tests were not reliable in children...my son

was only 13 months old when we started learning about IgG vs IgE, and

he'd already been tested for IgE allergies and come up negative.

I don't know if they are reliable for older children, but his doctor

said the best thing to do with little kids is just take things away

and then reintro to see where the problems were. It worked really well

for us, because one week on the elimination diet and all his health

problems were GONE (well, except failure to thrive, but you can't

reverse that in a week), so we knew at that point that it was

something he had been eating.

Not my allergies, but a coach I had eliminated yeasty

foods to deal with dermatitis effectively, and someone

else I know has a boatload of food allergies and

chemical sensitivities that got a lot better with a

candida reduction program.

Fortunately I " just " have to worry about gluten, and

to a lesser extent salycilates/phenols, and just don't

" do " soy.

The dietary conversations on here are really

enlightening, I think.

calls of them her candy LOL. but we want to assure she is not allergic

to the nuts before to get more options with almonds in them but that

isof a good ideas for me to try later.

What are the treatments that will make it gone fo good? I know that not eating

sugar is the main thing, but are other medications suggested as well? You guys

are a wealth of knowledge! Thanks, Gwen

Re: Re: -soy, used to be GFCF

I like how you think! You stated that beautifully! Candida is not just

something that is contained in the intestines. It has also been linked and

blamed for disorders like:

recurring yeast infections

thrush

melancholy

depression

anxiety

recurring irritability or mood swings

fatigue

lethargy

Fibromyalgia

Chronic Fatigue

autoimmune disorders

heartburn

indigestion

acid reflux; (gastro-esophageal reflux disease GERD)

irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

dry, itchy, flaky skin

jock itch

acne or other skin problems

extreme food and environmental allergies

lactose intolerance

sinusitis

joint soreness

chest pain

cholesterol problems

headaches and migraines

recurring cystitis/vaginal yeast overgrowth/infections

premenstrual tension/menstrual problems

Most, not all, Md's do not even consider candida as the cause of these

disorders. Many people are tested for everything under the sun, with no DX and

no help. For those Md's that are aware of candida, medications are often

perscribed which does nothing but temporarily give relief....when meds are

stopped, conditions will come back....Not to mention the side affects that now

you experience from taking medications. Candida can be naturally treated, and

gone for good. You will find that once you body is in balance, your other

symptoms will disappear also.
