Treating a Yeast Infection

[Guest guest]

I have been dealing with Celiac disease for over 2 years and I felt I

had made some progress. Periodically I find that I am hammered by

fatigue and suffering from leaky gut syndrome. Being a man, I am

naturally somewhat dense about many things. I believe I may also be

suffering from a yeast infection as well because gluten is out of my

diet but I do crave sugar. Often when I binge on anything sugary, I

feel just as miserable as I did before I was diagnosed with Celiac

disease. ergo my current thoughts that this must be yeast and the

sugar I am eating is causing a flare up.

I have suspended most processed food, fruit, coffee, candy and

alcohol. I am ingesting about three cloves of garlic daily, glutamine,

two probiotics and flax oil. What other measures should I take to

speed the infection into oblivion or to simply prove yeast isn't the

issue?

On a final note, I am insured but I trust most doctors as much as I

trust politicians.

Hi Chris,

 

You may be onto something... Gut dysbiosis could be a causative factor

in celiac disease. One study has suggested that a Candida wall

protein is the same as some gluten fractions and because of this can

cause antibody stimulation against gluten (Nieuwenhuizen et al 2003).

 

Ref:

Nieuwenhuizen WF, Pieters RH, Knippels LM, Jansen MC, Koppelman SJ

(2003) Is Candida albicans a trigger in the onset of coeliac disease?

Lancet. 361(9375): 2152-4.

I would add caprylic acid capsules to your programme - start with

about 250 mg per day and work up to about 600 mg per day.
