to have candida you would need to have a virtually nonexistent immunesystem my doc told me.She says if particular foods cause reactions then dont eat em.Its that simple.
in a severe candida prob. (which i had) where u are permanently intolerant to sugar, yeast, alcohol, yeast products &have secondary allergies to pretty much everything you cant live in the real world !Also, the Western understanding of candida is superficial, i have beaten it as i put Western ideas of just trying to kill it together with deeper chinese medicine understanding of it, &worked on it for yrs..i now control & can ’slip’ on my diet alot without getting ill!
so to recapitulate it isn’t ‘that simple’, to just avoid these foods! esp. when you consider sugar, yeast and sweeteners (which chinese medicine made me realise are worse than refined sugar for underlying prob of candida) are laced secretly in virtually all mainstream foods…i have 17 years experience trying to do the candida diet..i read every label & suggest you do too
Lastly, many candida sufferers (as with me) have underlying hypothyroid disease, which by the way is Another Giant-Killer issue to be in…firstly most hypothyroid sufferers are not diagnosible by standard crap mainstream tests, & secondly T4, which is practically the only med doc’s prescribe, (are corrupty influenced as the pharmas make most profit from it,) is the least effective..I know i am a member of ’stop the thyroid madness’ and thyroidUK, too massive groups..i cured my thyroid myself!
I love so much your take on health and “medicine.” Rather than just dishing out drugs to the herd, you’re a proactive investigator, trying to get to the real root of our health issues. I’d like to find someone who takes such an approach in my neck of the woods. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
It is so great that some good doctors are really looking into the thyroid diseases now. Thank you for posting this. I just wanted to say that I have read a few articles claiming that Vitamin D can seriously trigger auto immune response/diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. How does this fit into your regimen?
For a long time, looking AT the disease has been the problem. Most docs will just look at a few thyroid tests then give out the pez dispenser full of synthroid. They forget that the body is a SYSTEM and works as one. Cause and effect is rarely considered.
Vit D is a hormone that modulates (balances) the immune system. If levels aren’t sufficient auto-immune, cancer, and infection issues can arise. YOU CAN OVERDOSE ON VIT D so testing is important.

Thank you for your expedient reply to my comment.
thank u 4 sharing.. i h ave celiac..and i beliee this all is connected 2 thanks.. i think my dr is not educated in this..i need to find another dr that takes my cheap insurance..- again thanks
What do you recommned for someone who has had a TTE and is using Armor, Calicium, D, C and Chromagen (chromagen due to persitient low ferritin with normal rbc)?
So in other word you can be suffering from hypothyroidism even thou your T4, T3 levels are normal? Is Campylobacteria the bacteria you were refering to? And with gut connection do you mean malabsorbtion or insufficient intake of vitamin a and or d and why not look for vitamin sufficiency symtoms instead like poor night vision?? Surely you’ll have vision problems much earlyer then you’ll start having thyroid related problems if your lacking vitamin a..
@onegreeneye @onegreeneye celiac and hypot. are bouth autoimmune diseases wich is just a result of bad genes. Thats why you’ve got them bouth.. You are allso prob allergic to a lot of thing and you allso most likely have atopic skin.. If you’ve got one autoimmune you often have a nother.. Know u now..
@mirellale your right- just figured out that i am allergic to corn, too..& am SURE of celiac, with skin problems -luckily only on ankles-unseen.found out i dont have hypothyroidism, thats what doctors say- but whats wierd is my neck/jaw is swelling on the side, like a goiter-hmm..but have malabsorption, fibromyalgia - all of these things will heal in the close future- i pray all here become healed as well- thanks
@onegreeneye
@mirellale Yes, your T3+4 can be normal at the time of your test. Antibodies will fluctuate therefore you can have high/low T3,4 one day and normal the next. This is characteristic of Hashimoto’s.
Vision loss is due to Vit A DEPLETION. That “symptom” means you have waited too long. DEFICIENCY WILL ALTER THYROID FUNCTION. This is “pre disease” so most MD’s will be oblivious to this fact. Look at the Merk Manual (MD’s Bible); Treatment for Hahi? Replacement hormones. Fixes immune system…nope!
I had my thyroid taking out . what kind of diet should do to loss weight my doc has given up on me she says u cant loss weight! and my t4,t3 r fine help please.
@rhondag71 You will have to be on thyroid hormone replacement. However, conversion issues are very common. This means that you may have trouble converting T4 into T3. If you would like to talk about this, contact our office through our website.
My labs were strange last time I had tests done. My TSH was 1.0 but my T4 and T3 numbers were way too low. A lot of other things were off too. My vit. D was super low, adrenal glands were practically dead, very low progesterone and testosterone… a few others I don’t remember. My doctor gave me B12 and D drops and progesterone cream. She didn’t up my Armour thyroid or give me any T4 to add to the Armour (I’ve heard other doing that). I’m not sure what’s going on.
Has a link between hypothyroidism and colitis ever been established? The GI-tract doctors are at their wits’ end, they don’t have any idea what’s causing the colitis epidemic in younger folks.
@jakeway85 Yes, there is a link. In a state of hypothyroidism, the gut’s transit time slows, exposing the gut lining to toxic byproducts for a longer period of time. Research also shows a large percentage of those with Hashimoto’s form of hypothyroidism also have celiac disease which can be seen as colitis. Everyone must be screened no matter what diagnosis is given. Will have the ability for you to screen yourself very soon. Stay tuned.
@ScaperSteph For education only: Typically when you see TSH and T4 low something is going ayr with the pituitary gland. This gland also tells your adrenals how to work. I would investigare the pituitary gland and areas that influence it (test for cytokines, hypothalamus releasing hormones, and **rule out Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism). If the above is all that was tested, your doctors are missing the big picture (extremely common). Will have the ability for you to order these tests yourself soon.
@rhondag71 I’m sorry to hear that. I hope that was you last option. If your thyroid was dysfunctional because of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism (autoimmune attack on the thyroid) then other tissue attacks need to be checked for (e.g. celiac disease) before any dietary recommendations can be made. Your thyroid may be gone but this process continues after the fact. Were your FREE T3 and T4 measured (it will say on the report). If not, it’s a must. You can order these tests yourself soon. Stay tuned.
@chirodc632001 Thanks for replying! I’ll have to add that to the list to ask my doctor about.
So what if you have gastric bypass or vsg ? I would think that any gastric bypass vsgpatiens woould not be able to change that vitamin a in the gut because there is very little left?
Hi,I was recently diagonosed with having hypothroidism.I had a baby 11 months ago,I haven’t seen the endocronologist yet but I have been having problems with my stomach,particullarly when consuming milk(I think).I was wandering if the problems that I’m having with my stomach could be causing my hypothyroidism.Could I restore my thyroid back to normal functioning?
