Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 There is research out there that says candida and gluten cross react with one another. That means in my mind that if you have yeast the body reacts with an autoimmune attack just like if you were sensitive to gluten (which you are if they cross react). In other words they go together that way besides the fact that when one has an autoimmune disease the body is unable to fight off microbes, etc., as well. If one has had a blood test at the doc's office and it was negative, don't believe it. These tests are at least 50% false negative. It is very difficult to " go on a gluten free diet " . It takes a lot of time to figure out what one should eat and not eat. If one went on this diet and ate any processed food at all,--bottles, packages, cans jars, even in restaurants, just fresh food with no processing and additives, it is impossible that one is gluten free. If people are serious about finding the answer to their pain and sickness in my opinion they will have the enterolab test even just the gluten sensitive one. Otherwise it is a waste of time to even talk about it. Saying one has been on a gluten free diet and it didn't do any good isn't a serious effort in most cases. But it is of course up to the individual person what she does. If it isn't worth it to get tested, in my mind it isn't worth bothering about. It is worth getting tested I would think. This is not quackery. Arline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Could you please tell me if a gluten sensitivity can cause ear/sinus problems? And is there a good site, I am sure you have told us before, to find helpful tips on staying gluten free. Lona And the lady's feelin' just like the moon that she loves.

I read a story of someone who faught chronic sinus infections all her life and had really no other symptoms of gluten intollerance/celiac. She tested positive for celiac by blood test, went gluten free, and her sinus problems went away. Tips on staying GF is a bit tougher. There really isn't one good place. I found a list of " main stream " products that are GF on the delphi forum celiac list and printed that out for starters. Some grocery stores, like Wild Oats, have their own GF list of products they carry. I also watch a couple of celiac yahoo groups and find lots of info there.
