Celiac Disease = Giardia ?!


Question:

Celiac Disease = Giardia ?

The symptoms of Celiac (also IBS, Crohns, and more....) seem to parellel those of Giardia.

Problem with Giardia, is that Giardia is difficult to detect, and one test, even though it is negative does not guarantee that you don't have 'giardia', or other 'bacterial parasites'.

In one case a patient spent some 15 years with intestinal problems, the specialist said he had a 'disease' - no cause, no cure. Then an old country doctor stated quite simply, you have an intestinal infection, possibly giardia.

Problem is that it seems we have created 'diseases' that ignore the simple, obvious cause to many diseaes and that is 'bacteria'.

Why ?

Thanks Hai Van...

If as you say...

-Celiac is a auto-immuno disease, often appears in europe, industriel countries
-Giardia is a tropical infectious disease. Name of the bacteria is giardia lamblia

The logic suggests that doctors in 'indusstrialized countries' are failing to test for tropical diseases; with travel, individuals in industrial centers can pick them up quite easily.

Here is some research:

"I had IBS for some 15 years then one old school doctor told me I had giardia. The old school doctor was right. The specialist was wrong. I noted that a friend had been diagnosed with celiac disease and when I checked the symptoms they seemed identical to IBS, another unknown cause, unknown treatment".

Seems modern patentable medicine treats symptoms, and does not want a simple cure, like erthomycin, an old wide spectrum antibiotic or herbs like oregano oil, or fresh garlic cloves. They work !"

So by this research let me tell you modern day medicine has alot of 'snake oil salesmen'....


Answers:

I answered your other question also, despite u not making much sense (or I dont totally see the point in your question.)
Celiac is EXTREMELY hard to diagnosed and horribly misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed in America. The incidence is 1 in 133 ppl have it, but 97% of THOSE ppl do not know! That is horrible and sad when all that needs to be done is a simple blood test. Granted, blood testing is not 100% accurate (no test is) and if u are IGG and IGA deficient u will always test neg for Celiac. BUt endoscopies with biopsies can be done to diagnose CD, as can biopsies of the DH skin rash associated with CD.
It is awful that it takes solong for stuff to get diagnosed in USA. Docs are too quick to hand out meds (that are too often later recalled) yet they shudder at you taking NATURAL God made herbs and vitamins. Sadly gone are the days when a real doc would come to your house, solve your problem and NOT charge u 3 mos pay to do so.
sigh. Oh well!

Are you Celiac?? What is your interest in this, I'm curious myself how u made this connection.
