Immunoglobulin G - Successful healing aids?

Hey!

I am curious if anyone here has personally or know someone who has used or currently use Immunoglobulins G  as an aid to support their healing journey. If so, how long did it take to get sustained benefit?

The reason for asking is because my gut never fully heals and I swing between progressing towards better health, only to regress again. These phases are cyclical and last for 3-12 months each way. It's been going on for years and I can't tip the scale into fully healing. 10 years now with histamine intolerance, sifo, probably sibo, etc. IGG supplement has had an incredible effect, but it never seem to last long term.

I know it is hard to quantify, since we're all different. I'd just like to get an idea how it has worked for other people.

Stay safe and be well :)

What IGG supplement do you mean? I've not heard of this in support of celiac disease, but am interested to find out more.

I recently stated using a probiotic called Bifidobacterium Infantis, which does have research that backs it up as something that can help people with celiac disease:

Others report that Thiamine supplementation is important, along with good B vitamin supplement, as well as vitamin D, Zinc and Magnesium Citrate.

So there are currently three which have been backed by evidence research. Dr. Michael Ruscio has designed one (intestinal repair formula), Microlabs has designed one which I ordered yesterday as it's shipped from UK vs US. There is one more I can't recall the name of.

Immunoglobulins regulates the immunesystem in the gut and helps rebuild the mucosal lining.

So for me, when I didn't heal at all, after 4 weeks my gut felt much better, and 6-8 like the puzzle pieces were re-arranged. All of the sudden the bloating, indigestion, cramps, diarrhea, etc all just vanished and I felt amazing. I felt better mentally too.

Another plus side; It helps breaking down biofilm and absorb toxins into bigger blocks so it doesn't leak into the bloodstream. It is quite expensive though which is the downside, and most medical professionals would rather put you on meds rather than this supplement.

Thanks :) I've used b.infatis myself, and I know it has an effect on gluten proteins to diffuse them. Causing less of a reaction IF we get CC'ed. My body sadly doesn't like probiotics.

Definitely. Not getting deficient in minerals and vitamins is a big key thing that is challenging as a celiac. To combat this I use elemental diet and Ruscio's supplement to stock up on missing minerals/vitamins. Vitamin D is a big one though! Lipsomal vit c and zinc bolster immunesystem too. I just find that if every other aspect is taken care of (diet, sleep, exercise, mental work, etc) then it was always IGG that pushed my health towards healing. So for anyone struggling when they've tried everything else... maybe look into IGG. There's one from bovines and one from eggs. So if you react to one the other might work.

      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.
