Celiac Disease and Candida, Debilitating Without Diagnosis

A serious disease that has come to more light in the past decade is called Celiac disease. This is when you have an allergy to gluten. Because you find gluten in grains there is a good chance that you will not be able to eat many of the things you like. Most breads, tortillas and cereals have gluten in them or are manufactured in the same mills as the gluten filled items. For many soy and tofu are used in place of many of the items you can not ingest.

Keeping an eye on gluten allergy symptoms is harder than you may think. They vary from stomach aches, vomiting, nausea, head aches, odd cravings, weight loss to a very high degree causing other medical problems, anemia and many other illnesses. Unless you ask specifically for the testing of this disease it is likely that you will suffer through these debilitating problems for years.

Like gluten allergy symptoms of Candida are just as harmful. This condition can manifest itself in a number of ways that make it as difficult to diagnose as Celiac disease. Cravings are a part of this disorder too. Unfortunately one of the cravings is for alcohol. This can obviously lead to another problem altogether. Others are eczema, vaginitis, low sex drive, loss of memory, depression and hundreds more.

Men are just as susceptible to Candida as women. Though historically men are taught to suck it up and deal they can suffer sometimes more than women. When a man shows signs of depression and mental issues he will blow it off thinking it is just because of stress or something similar. This will leave him suffering much longer. Attention deficit, learning disabilities, and anger and rage disorders. All this pain because you ate the wrong breakfast food.

Candida is very disturbing. It is a naturally occurring yeast that lives in the intestinal tract, mouth, genitals and throat. If it is thrown off its balance it can find its way into the blood stream and cause all the above symptoms and so much more. It is a good idea to talk to your doctor about this and Celiac disease if you are concerned. Between the two of you you will be able to find a cure for your upsetting and irritating condition.
