No, Lamisil is an anti-fungal treatment. Celiac Disease is a reaction to gluten in the intestines, and not caused by a fungal infection. Celiac disease should be treated by not eating gluten.

No, Lamisil is used to treat fungal infections in toenails and fingernails. Celiac disease is caused by your bodies inability to digest food products with gluten in them properly. Proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and sometimes oat products can also affect celiac disease. Symptoms of celiac disease can vary greatly from person to person.

Not sure but pro biotics work well. I used that a lot and it works. Gotta keep wheat free, cook natural and find health food stores. Stats say that you are very likely to up your odds of all kinds of cancers if you don't stay wheat free to excess. No cheating! I've found alternatives to everything with no suffering.

Terbinafine (Lamisil (R)) is an anti-fungal which is typically prescribed in a topical manner to treat topical fungal diseases and is not FDA approved to treat Celiac disease. Celiac disease is associated with a gluten intolerance and has nothing to do with any fungal disease. Please consult with your gastroenterologist.
