Low Dose Naltrexone

[Roma Jean]

Hi, I am new here. I don't know if this is the right group to ask this question or not.  I am wondering if any of you have been put on Low Dose Naltrexone to help you with your celiacs?  If so has it helped and what dose do you use?

Why would you get that for Celiac?  What other issues do you have that this may actually be for? Have you actually given a gluten free diet a fair chance?  Why take meds if a diet change will do the trick?

OH wow, yeah that would, make you get on the gluten free diet easier, many of us talk about gluten withdrawal, and have a hard time changing out diet. Some articles talk about gluten and dairy having a opiate like effect....Naltrexone, is a drug used to help break opiate addiction so I can see this making the transition and acceptance of the new diet easier. But in all honestly the only treatment for this disease is a strict gluten free diet.

Do read the newbie 101 thread and see about taking on the diet you need to treat this disease if you were diagnosed.
I do have a list of foods for treats, and safe alternatives to make life simpler.

Thank you!  I am on LDN for MCTD and just wondered if it would help me in any other way.
