howdy all,

i'm new to the forum, but only out of ignorance- i wish i had known about this forum 5 or 6 years ago...

i'm recovering from a very advanced case of celiac, and i'm taking it one day at a time. i suppose i'm still somehow hopeful, but i've got some fear about my diet...

my celiac led to a very bad case of "leaky gut syndrome" where i started building antibodies to all the stuff that would have been fine to eat earlier in the progression of celiac...

without going into details, i'm now "allergic" to quite a bit...

ARE THESE ALLERGIES PERMANENT??????

i remember hearing once that you can retrain your body to accept former allergens...?

i'm biting my nails...

Hi B,

I am also struggling with Leaky Gut right now and am intolerant / sensitive to just about everything I put in my mouth.

From what I understand though, a lot of these sensitivites will clear up as the gut heals. Very frustrating I know but hang in there!

Have you tried taking L-Glutamine? I have noticed a bit of an improvement since I started taking it.

Glad you found this forum, its an absolute Godsend!

There are no definit answers, but in my experence of reading psots here and talking wtih ppl, most ppl most of teh time will lose many of thier "allergies" once thier gut heals. It could take years though.... :(

I hear ya. I've just discovered I had Celiac in my forties so I know about leaky gut. The last biofeedback testing I had showed many sensitivities I didn't know about, but certainly explained why my eyes would get red and wattery after almost every meal.

I'm dealing with it through a rotational diet - trying to eat most foods just once every four days. So I have, say rice on Monday and don't have it again until Thursday or Friday.

Another thing that's really helped is taking lots of Vit C or Quercetin, especially having it with foods I normally react to.

I've been doing this for just over a month and last night I ate cheese and my eyes didn't even get red!! This is amazing - cheese is my biggest sensitivity by far (well, after wheat). This was just a treat for Oscar night, I don't intend to eat it all the time, but it was one of the first rays of hope I've had in a long time that something is working. Good luck to you. Care

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
