Hi again, Ian,

I know of a number of celiacs who became celiac after a round of anti-biotics. I think some of these anti-bs open the tight junctions, just like celiac does.

Also, I don't know if this is applicable to Sue or not, but my nutritionist tells me I will never be able to go back to a regular diet including sugar and sweeteners. He says that people who have had candida for many years never completely kill it off; they just learn to control it. He told me that I will be on a modified form of the candida diet from now on (low carb, few fruits and starches, no sugars or sweeteners, no processed foods, little or no yeast, etc and no glutens due to celiac disease). In addition, every 6 months I will need to go on a germicidal/fungicidal for a month or two to keep candida/bacterial issues in check. I am still in the initial killing phase, btw--been there for over a year.

Thanks Diane. You've clarified the point I was trying to make. Leaky gut
and celiac disease are not the same. Either may cause immune system
problems. Therefore, testing for one will not rule out the other. Both are
potentially important.

In Sue's case, she has tested positive for leaky gut but not for celiac, and
cutting wheat and gluten out of her diet made only a marginal improvement
(and she showed a separate intolerance to these anyway, along with many
other foods). We are now convinced that the leaky gut has a major bearing
on her entire history of problems. The supporting evidence is that she was
100% healthy until a prolonged dose of antibiotics 7 years ago, got ME/CFS,
was cured of the physical exhaustion symptoms by an anti-candida diet, but
has gradually gone downhill since. It seems that some residual damage
and/or bacteria were left behind. After the diet worked, we did not follow
up with antifungals as recommended - possibly a mistake.
