Gluten, Celiac, Candida, Anemia, Osteoporosis and Psychiatric Problems

Posted Sep 16 2008 4:48am

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.
