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

That's a good point.

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.

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      These are labeled gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Husks-Tamales-Authentic-Flavorful/dp/B01MDSHUTM/

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
