The article describes mice with leaky gut like condition and behavior issues that are improved by a bacteria.

 

From Scientific American site:

 

Open Original Shared Link

Doses of a human gut microbe helped to reverse behavioral problems in mice with autism-like symptoms, researchers Open Original Shared Link today in Cell. The treatment also reduced gastrointestinal problems in the Open Original Shared Link that were similar to those that often accompany autism in humans.

...

The autistic mice also had 'leaky guts', in which the walls of the intestine break down and allow substances to leak through. Several studies have found that humans with autism are also more likely to have gastrointestinal disorders, suggesting that Open Original Shared Link.

I hope it works out well for them Diane.  What this article implies is that the right bacteria strains can help resolve symptoms in the mind.  So your friend might want to try various pro-biotics as well to see if they help.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      knitty kitty brought up something that also occurred to me. Namely, the reason you don't like bread and pasta may be that your body has been instinctively telling you, "this is harming me" and so you avoid it. Cake, on the other hand, has less gluten and lots of other goodies like sugar and butter and chocolate that mask what gluten there is.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shining My Light, While you're trying to decide on your next steps on your journey, I suggest you have a DNA test to look for Celiac genes.  Your genes don't change, so you do not have to be eating gluten for it.  If you have even one Celiac gene, it's more likely to be celiac disease, than NCGS.  TTg antibodies do not occur in NCGS.   There are different amounts of gluten in different breeds of wheat.  Wheat used for cookies and cakes and tortillas do not contain as much gluten as wheat used for bread and pizza crust.  Look at the crumb in cakes and tortillas.  There's only small bubbles. Gluten is in the matrix forming those bubbles.  Compare those to the big bubbly holes in artisan bread and chewy pizza crust.  To get those big holes, more stretchy elastic gluten is used.   You are subconsciously avoiding those types of foods with large amounts of serious gluten in them.  Consider including these types of high gluten foods in your gluten challenge before your antibody retest and endoscopy.  Keep a food mood poo'd journal to record how symptoms change.   Anxiety, headaches and joint pain are symptoms of Celiac that occur outside the digestive tract, these are extraintestinal symptoms of celiac disease. "Could I really possibly follow a gluten free life as close as I follow Jesus?"    Yes, He's been my constant companion and guide on this journey which has brought us to the forum so we can help others on their journeys.   References: Celiac Disease: Extraintestinal Manifestations and Associated Conditions https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6895422/ Psychiatric and Neurological Manifestations of Celiac Disease in Adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9984242/#:~:text=celiac disease%2C a multiorgan disorder with,life [21%2C22].

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! You contacted them specifically about their certified gluten-free products, or which products specifically?  So out of all the finished batches of nuts, they only test one?! That seems suboptimally safe... Maybe I will have to try Tierra Farms too...
