<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello, I have been following the YEAST-L and Celiacs Disease mailing lists for about a week now - I discovered them from the IBS newgroup, which is how i have "officially" been diagnosed. However, after my own research, and advice from a few very helpful individuals, it seems clear to me at least that my symptoms are that of either Candidiasis OR Celiacs Disease. Here is the problem - the two are so similar, I wonder if anyone else out there has found themselves in the same dilemma as I - is perhaps the Candidiasis a result of Celiacs Disease ? - and how would they advise my next step. I am unsure whether to re-consult my doctor with all this new information, try the 3 (6?) week exclusion diet suggested for Celiacs, look into (sorry :) having a rectal biopsy ... etc... I do find it rather odd that the two "groups" seem for the most part almost unaware of the other's existance - most people seem to be convinced they have Candida, OR Celiacs, without any mention of the other. Confused, -- The_Tiger < [log in to unmask] > <[log in to unmask] >
