Gluten Free Isn't All

Altered Immunity & The Leaky Gut Syndrome

Open Original Shared Link

Reading the posts I can tell that many are looking at gluten as the ONLY problem. That probably is not the case. Once celiac disease has done some damage you are set up for reactions to multiple foods - as the intestinal lining is damaged and uninvited, unwelcome 'stuff' goes into the bloodstream where it is not only unwelcome but triggers allergy reactions that may be different than your response to gluten or may be almost exactly the same.

Identification of these reactive foods is essential. Once the intestinal lining is healed you will probably be okay with these foods - but not the gluten.

L-Gluatamine is generally considered the very best therapy for the damaged intestine - this of course in the presense of a diet that is free of reactive foods. Claire :)

      I can drink grass fed milk but commercial milk gives me heartburn from the cassein.  Brine fermented pickles can help establish lactobacillus in his gut.  They provide lactase to break down the lactose.  Vinegar pickled pickles do not.  inegar generally suppresses Lactobacillus by creating an acidic environment  that is inhospitable to the beneficial bacteria.  Organic pasture fed yogurt is good.  Some no fat brands of yogurt use various gums to replace the fat and these can cause a Celiac discomfort.   Vitamin D, Thiamine, Iodine, Choline are some of the vitamins that are deficient in the western diet. Because of malabsorption from the Marsh 3 damage Celiacs are more deficient. Try to choose vegetables low in omega 6. Yes there is hope.  It does take some time to heal the damage  My son was diagnosed when he was weaned as an infant.  He grew up to be a proffesional ocean lifeguard.

      Lactose intolerance is not necessarily to problem in the celiac community. Intolerance to the dairy protein casein can be the culprit as it is similar enough to gluten to cause cross reactivity in a fairly significant element of the celiac population. Oats and dairy are common cross reactors in the celiac community. Eggs, corn and soy are also common cross reactors but oats and dairy are the two big ones.

      Thought I'd leave you the references: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ "The early symptoms of TD are non-specific and may be easily attributed to any number of disease processes. Unrelenting or uncharacteristic fatigue, changes in mood with a tendency towards hyper-irritability and mood lability are common [4]. A sense of mental fuzziness and subtle decrements in memory are often reported, along with loss of appetite, sleep disturbances and/or gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort and dysmotility. Food intolerances and vomiting may develop as the deficiency progresses. Experimental [5] and case literature [6] suggest GI discomfort and dysmotility may be more prevalent early indications of TD than currently appreciated. A form of GI beriberi has been identified but is under-recognized [7]." and... Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      Thank you for these thoughts, Knitty. Trents: Yes. I would say we are taking it relatively light on his belly because it's been upset, so no heavy/excessive dairy, but he has had some cheese here and there. Not high quantities, however, and tests were negative for lactose intolerance.
