Anyone take either of these and have any advice on them? Have you found that products like these are beneficial for healing?

i don't take anything like that myself.  It seems to me the ingredients list in the Metagenics ultrainflmex is similar to a good multi-vitamin/mineral.  Plus some extras thrown in.  The extras don't seem like they are worth the cost of the products tho.  Another option would be to buy them separately and take them in the amounts you choose, rather than what someone else decided to put in the powder.  The advantage of buying separately is if you have a reaction to one of the ingredients you can  stop taking it and you are only out the money for the one ingredient.  If you have a reaction to any of the many ingredients in a combo products like these you are looking at not being able to use the product after spending a lot of money on it.  None of these extras look particularly expensive or hard to find by themselves.  You can buy turmeric, rosemary  and garlic in the grocery store after all.  I couldn't get the orthomolecular link to open.

 

Metagenics Extras:

 

Turmeric Rhizome Extract (Curcuma longa) 316 mg
[standardized to 95% (300 mg) curcuminoids]

Rosemary Leaf Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) 200 mg

D-Limonene 100 mg

Ginger Root Extract (Zingiber officinale) 100 mg
[standardized to 5% (5 mg) total pungent compounds]

Sulfate (as magnesium sulfate) 50 mg

I could not get the orthomolecular link to open either. My orthomolecular doctor suggested using L-glutamine to help with healing of the intestines.

I have the UltraInflamX but have not yet tried it. Maybe this week. I bought it recently after asking my gastro what she thought about my trying it. My cousin uses it for another issue and I figured I could at least try it and if it doesn't help me at all I could give it to her and not feel like I completely wasted the money. Let us know if you try something and how it works for you!

It looks like a good protein powder, and I am a fan of protein powders - I add it to most baking I do for my kids... even cookies. LOL

 

It looks like there are good things in there that are known to help the gut and with healing. If you are looking for a protein powder, you might as well try it.

Those two protein powders are the ones mentioned in Esposito's book. She claims to have used them to help healing.

L-Glutamine powder was recommended by my ND, and is one many people take, including me. I can't say if it's working or not but I keep seeing it mentioned so I continue with it.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
