More on Celiac ADD and Depression                              Wheatfield

An ADD reader in Germany asked if Gluten Sensitivity could be related to yeast [Candida] overgrowth.

===> My comment:
Many reports show a strong relationship between the two, as the carbs both feed  the Candida overgrowth, and the gluten in the carbs feeds the celiac.

Take a look at this easy review of comorbid conditions and diagnosis of celiac/gluten sensitivity:

===> And on Anemia and Gluten Sensitivity
Also notice the reference to anemia and celiac from Baylor University Medical Center [via PubMed] -and the multiple issues that can occur downstream from allergic reactions to wheat in the bowel.

===> And Regarding Depression with Osteoporosis – 32 yo Male
Then, just saw a person in the office last week from Ohio with "asymptomatic [BM 2x/day, "never a problem"] gluten sensitivity" – very likely silent celiac, [testing underway] and he – at 32 yo – is suffering from "unexplained osteopenia" – actually fractured his heel bone with no significant trauma to the bone, and his bones look, according to his Ohio doc, like he's a post menopausal woman.

This, dear readers, is a flaming metabolic problem.

Look down at "musculo-skeletal" on this page.
The reference for the osteoporosis connection: Am J Gastroenterol 1994;89: pp.2130-4

ELISA [see overview Why ELISA and 191 references here] and specific nutritional testing [sample here] underway, — also worked up for thyroid, ferritin, glucose and insulin levels, this will be very interesting.

Will get back to you as this evolves.

    […] You’re here for one reason: improved information to increase predictable outcomes with mind care and mind health. This summer, more details. In the eight years since starting CorePsych reportage I’ve discussed a wide variety of topics, from the not-controversial evolution of science, to controversial topics such as systemic candida, food allergies and associated mind imbalances.

    B-
    A mistake is when you know what is going on and choose to do nothing about it. *Not knowing* is not a mistake.

    One additional mistake: *Not looking* more deeply into the new science answers – thanks for checking in here and remaining curious… it’s never too late to take a new path – and as I often point out: we can walk, with this new science, two paths at the same time. The choices aren’t either/or, but yes/and.

    The elemental choice at this moment in time: including new knowledge as opposed to ignoring it.

    Best wishes,

    Thanks for the additional info Dr. Parker. I hope more doctors become aware of this problem; I am convinced that my problems with Candida started in childhood with Antibiotics. Seems I was always on antibiotics from a very young age until maybe ten years ago when my tonsils were taken out. I always had ear infections and my tonsils were constantly swollen. I don’t think I remember a single year before the age of 16 or so that I did not take some kind of antibiotic… so many doctors told me not to worry about the Candida because it was harmless, so I left it untreated for the last decade. That might have been a mistake.

    Francine-
    Thanks for sharing your story… amazing wt loss, and amazing in your duration of recovery, -staying with the program. Good show!

    So how did you control the yeast in your situation?

    Ron,
    Thanks for joining in the conversation… and, as you may know by now, I do appreciate the diversity of possibilities regarding the interrelationship of these hormone [testosterone and adrenal function] and gluten problems.

    I suggest readers review this piece from pub med, – and apologize if I seem to be hammering too hard on the gluten subject:

    Interesting how these different topics do find connections.

    Re: Depression with Osteopenia – 32 yo Male……….
    I am a 64 y/o male and a recent Bone Density test revealed Osteopenia. The cause: Hypogonadism – low Testosterone. I was in the 100’s and now up to 450 due to a prescription of Androgel. I was told to increase my calcium,Vitamin D and do weight-bearing exercises.

    I could not find a link to contact you. One of the problems with Candida is that is robs the nutrients before your body gets them – we have a naturopathic antfungal that is laboratory proven to inhibit yeast – the nutrients make it trhough your system in tact, nd it helps remove existing yeast from the system. Please take a look – there is info on candidacandida.com and the testing results are available on floridainstituteofyeast.com. I would be happy to answer any questions. By the way, after 40 years of obesity, I got the yest controlled and lost 186 pounds, maintained now for over 7 years.
