Medical mediums celery juice

Hi has anyone heard of the apparently amazing gut healing benefits of having a celery juice each day? I’ve done it for a few days and I’m finding that I bloat so so so much after one (it feels worse than a gluten-ing) and I’m wondering if this means I’m intolerant to celery or if It’s because I have a gut that needs lots of healing. Does anyone else have a reaction to celery? I don’t know whether I should be persevering with this as suggested in the book. Also, if I am intolerant to celery is there any other foods I’m likely to be intolerant to? 
thanks for your time :)

Any change in your diet can cause GI upset.  Sometimes moderation is best.  It sounds like way too much celery.  Actually, lots of juice just might be too much.  How much celery can you eat at one time before you get sick of it?  Or how many oranges?  It is easy to guzzle down juice fast but hard to eat three or more oranges at one sitting. 

Celery?  Who comes up with these crazy diets?  

Oh yeah....another kooky person who hangs with a kooky celebrity (I think the one selling vaginal candles....I kid you not!)  Google it!

“Many credit Mr. William, who wrote a book called, “Celery Juice: The Most Powerful Medicine of Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide.” He shares advice with his large fan base through his podcast, his website, his New York Times best-selling books, or in his contributions to Gwyneth Paltrow’s site Goop.

Mr. William, who also uses the moniker “Medical Medium,” is neither a medical doctor nor formally trained in nutrition, and his process is unconventional. “Spirit starts to speak to me and I write every word exactly the way spirit wants it until I have a stack of notepads many feet high,” he said, adding, “It’s a gift that was given to me.”

His claims are as large as the fields of celery in California, the country’s biggest producer. Nutritionists call his assertions unfounded. “Any reputable scientist would say there’s nothing here,” said David Levitsky, a professor of nutrition and psychology at Cornell University. “And I guarantee you next year there will be some other juice or food or magical mushroom that will come out and offer these same properties.”

The next crazy fruit?   Tangerines.  That is because a grower from Hollywood invested in those “cuties”.  They planted tangerine trees all over central California. Even stole water during the drought.  Now they have too many tangerines and are now promoting/marketing tangerine juice.  It will cure anything, I am sure.

If you have celiac disease and are in the process of healing, avoid gluten at all costs.  It takes time to heal.  No amount of celery juice can help put  celiac disease into remission.  ?

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow

      Thank you for the advice. I’ve actually never checked for nutritional deficiencies, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve always taken vitamin and mineral supplements — otherwise my symptoms get worse. This week I stopped eating gluten to confirm whether my symptoms are really caused by it. Starting next week, I’ll reintroduce gluten — it’s sad to go back to how I was before — but at least I’ll be able to take the necessary tests properly. I think the diagnostic process will be long, but at least I’m happy that I finally decided to address this doubt I’ve had for years.
