"Is Candida albicans a trigger in the onset of celiac disease?"

This interesting study compares a specific amino acid sequence found in Candida cell wall protein to a gliadin amino acid sequence that triggers the immune response in celiac disease. The researchers found that the sequences are “identical or highly homologous to known celiac disease-related alpha-gliadin and gamma-gliadin T-cell epitopes,” and propose that candida is the trigger for celiac disease...Lancet. 2003 Jun 21;361(9375):2152-4.

To clarify, this research shows that a protein found in the cell wall of Candida is very simiilar to gluten. As a result, the immune system can confuse gluten found in grains for the cell wall of the candida and then mount a response against the gluten! The immune cell bound gluten then damages the small intestinal wall as in Celiac Disease!"

Diagnosis & Treatment
of
Celiac Disease

Diagnosing a Celiac can be difficult because some of the symptoms of Celiac Disease are similar to those of IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other intestinal or digestive diseases that often mimic Celiac Disease.

In some cases, it may be helpful to briefly eliminate gluten from the diet and then to observe the body's reaction. However, it is recommended that abstaining from gluten should not take place if diagnostic testing is scheduled. Doing so could interfere with accurate laboratory results.

The "What on Earth is a Celiac?" 50 page ebook is free as a download at this website and provides a complete Reference Guide listing gluten-free foods that are safe for those who are Celiacs or those who are wheat-sensitive.

 

Biopsies taken during an endoscopy
may indicate damage
to the
small intestine
and to the villi, the tiny, hair-like projections
that line the small intestine.

However, it is very important that your physician is up to date with the latest information regarding this illness and that the scope procedure is done correctly.

Special blood work
is standard protocol for testing
for Celiac Disease. . .

 

...however, this testing is not always accurate, so should not be relied upon solely for an accurate diagnosis. New lab stool tests have become available that are helpful in determining gluten sensitivity, however the upper bowel scope is the most reliable diagnostic tool in determining if a person truly has Celiac Disease.....

Treatment for Celiac Disease can include
eliminating all sources of gluten,
and
treating any associated conditions.

In addition, the treatment for Celiac Disease is a lifetime commitment and must be strictly followed!

Celiac Disease, also known as Celiac Sprue, Coeliac disease, Celiac disorder, is frequently misdiagnosed as other digestive diseases. And diagnosis of celiac disease is difficult as symptoms of Celiac disease can come and go. Celiac disease is most commonly misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, gall bladder disease, Crohn's disease or ulcer or other digestive or intestinal disease. All or most of these bowel or intestinal disorders can be similar to Celiac Disease and can manifest with symptoms of severe diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, and weight loss, to name a few. The immune system responds by damaging the villi in the bowel or small intestine. Celiac disease can be phantom-like, in that it may present with many symptoms, or no symptoms at all. Celiac Sprue is not an allergy and those with celiac disease are gluten intolerant. Having food allergies and wheat sensitivity or wheat or food allergies are much different than having celiac disease, however wheat free and gluten free cookbooks can be helpful for those with food allergies.
