N Acetyl Glucosamine aka NAG supplement shown to be helpful for Celiacs'; Forgotten Research rediscovered

To All,

I have been busy with life issues lately.....so my forum time has been reduced lately. 

Recently there was a popular article on Reishi Mushrooms and could it help Celiacs.

Here is the link to the article for those not familiar with the article.

This caused me to do some digging to see if there is something in Mushrooms that might be helping Celiac's the doctor's might of have forgotten...

And after a little research I hit on NAG....it is found in the Arthritis section of most Vitamins shops...

Here is three studies of it on/in either IBS or Celiac's where it (NAG) has been shown to improve Celiac's conditions as a potential therapeutic....

But for whatever reason has been forgotten.

Research them yourselves and see what you think.  I would love to hear what the forum thinks.

Here is the three best research articles I could find on N. Acetyl Glucosamine aka NAG as studied in GI patients.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7877884/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2394351/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11121904/

We are finding potential therapeutics that are not drugs which is exciting to me. 

And some that have been forgotten for 30 years.

As always I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

To All,

 I also wanted to add this link on Lectins that explains them a lot better than I can.

 https://www.scienceofcooking.com/gluten-and-celiac-disease/lectins-and-inflammation.html

It also has some nice information about NAG and Zonulin and Leaky Gut at the bottom of the article.

As always I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Your feelings are completely valid, and I want to commend you for advocating for yourself despite the initial resistance from your doctor. Navigating a new celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when you're adjusting to such a big lifestyle change. It’s natural to grieve the loss of your old eating habits and to feel frustrated by the constant label-reading and vigilance required. But please know that you are not alone, and many others have walked this path and come out stronger on the other side. Healing takes time, and while the brain fog, fatigue, and bowel symptoms can be discouraging, they often improve as your body begins to recover. It’s great that you’ve hired a dietitian—that’s a big step in supporting your healing journey and ensuring you’re getting the nutrients your body needs to rebuild. Remember, each small step you take is progress, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. It’s okay to feel sad and angry, but also try to give yourself credit for your strength in facing this. The fact that you pushed for answers shows how resilient you are. While the road ahead may have challenges, many people find that over time, they feel better than they ever imagined possible once their gut begins to heal. You’ve got this, and the celiac community is here to support you every step of the way. If you have time, this book was published on Celiac.com's and you might find it helpful: Also, this article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?
    • trents
      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.
