Re: you may have Celiac sprue

Scarlet,
Forgive me for responding so late, I just discovered this forum today. I only hope that you check back and read this. From the symptoms you are describing, and from reading your other posts, it really sounds like you have Celiac Sprue, also called celiac disease. It's an intolerance to Gluten, the protein in Wheat, Barley, and Rye, and it's relatively common, about 1 in 133 people have it.

Your symptoms are consistent with Celiac disease, and you should really have your doctor test you for it. Doctors don't think of this, because they used to consider it a rare disease.It can cause extreme fatigue, stomach problems, and a host of other symptoms related to not properly absorbing nutrients in food. (The gluten eventually eats away the lining of your stomach and you get leaky gut, etc.) Ask your doctor for the "Celiac Disease Diagnostic Panel" from Quest labs.

For more about celiac disease (which often seems like systemic candida), see:

Personally, I was hoping I had celiac disease because I have been sick and tired for over three months. It would be nice to have some diagnosis because many days I am so tired and my legs hurt so bad I can barely walk!

I just got a Liver Flush from my colonic practitioner today, though, and seem to be feeling a lot better. I think that new carpeting in an apartment I was living in poisoned my system, and have hope that another colonic and Liver Flush will do the trick.

Anyway, thanks for listening. It is so frustrating to be sick and tired, and most doctors don't understand or listen. If you don't do your own research and take matters into your own hands, you don't get anywhere.
