Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 All the symptoms you have are symptoms of candidaLee All the symptoms you have are also that of gluten intolerance! Ha! I have both. I know! Hee hee. Seriously though, my doctor, as well as naturopath, dietician and womans health advisor (4 people) explained to me that there is still much research to be done on both candida symptoms, as well as those of coeliac disease. In many cases of CD, candida is present. They aren't sure which comes first. Not that EVERY patient will have both. Just very common with coeliacs to also have candida overgrowths. Why not ask your doc for Immunoglobulin tests? They are called IgA and IgG - testing for gliaden (protien of gluten - which is in wheat, barley, rye and oats). Also, I wouldn't hesitate to ask for the IgE test too. Mine is sky high. I know that I have a bad allergy to grasses, but there are food allergies too. Next test I would like to have done is that of the stool, where they test for food and chemicals. Then I'll know what percentages are grasses and what percentages are food allergies. Put them all together and get organised with a diet. A candida diet, mixed with gluten free, milk free, and whatever else free. I know this is a long, tedious, lonesome journey, but it will be worth it. I am convinced of it. Also, candida can lower your iron levels, so it's worth having your iron checked too.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 I'm not a doctor, but I have had those symptoms in the past and I have candida. Candida's a sneaky thing, as it can affect most bodily symptoms, but your tests (like mine) could come up normal. While your symptoms could be just about anything (I'm suspecting candida, though) it may help you to try the candida diet for awhile, as well as a bodily cleanse. Even if it isn't candida, cleanses help most health problems...and, the candida diet, while it's a headache, is healthier than the mainstream American diet. Sugar really isn't good for anyone, nor is wheat gluten. In other words, while it may or may not be candida, it can only help you if you try an anticandida diet and a cleanse. It can help even healthy people to try garlic and other immune system helpers, for instance. My feeling is if a naturopath says you have candida, it's worth taking that opinion seriously and trying the diet, appropriate herbs, and cleanses. It couldn't hurt. Best of luck.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Helen For the past 4-5 yrs, I have been using the initials CD - to be Crohn's Disease, but now I see it's also used for Coeliac disease. How can we differentiate between the two. I know crohns is not spoken about here, but when I see CD, I automatically think of crohns. Still having a migraine attack.. it's getting ridiculous and I'm not combating anything well now. Being a crohns sufferer, I always have IgA and IgG testing.
