Intestine healing


EdenLaShae

Recommended Posts

EdenLaShae Newbie

Hey there! I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease about six months ago, but I’m still having bm trouble that I’m assuming is due to my intestine. My bowel movements are just very frequent, like usually after I eat, which is like 3-4 times a day and they are very loose. I was wondering if anyone had any tips to heal my intestine any faster. I’ve heard a lot of people return to normal bowel habits after a month or two, so I’m starting to get worried. Is there anything I can take to help? Like a probiotic? I don’t think I’m somehow still digesting gluten but anything’s possible. Thank you! Have a nice day

Probiotics are helpful, and I use this one because it contains Bifidobacterium Infantis, and lots of research has been done on this in connection with celiac disease:

Double check your diet and make sure you are not getting any hidden gluten, and note that the average time to recovery for celiacs is two years.

Hi EdenLaShae!

Have you checked for gluten in non food sources? Have you checked your toothpaste, soaps, detergents, shampoo, lotions, cosmetics, medications, or any pet food you may come in contact with? Gluten seems to be everywhere. 

Are you eating any processed food? If so, look for certified gluten free labels, and check the ingredients list. In the USA, food can contain up to 20 ppm of gluten and still be labeled as gluten free. 

Have you eliminated milk products and oats? They are often problematic for those of us with celiac disease. Especially while healing our guts. Sometimes these things can be added back in later, and sometimes they can't.

I hope this helps! Keep us posted!

I actually haven’t checked any of my toothpaste and stuff, I’ll look into that! Thank you so much for your feedback!

You are very welcome! @Scott Adams mentioned a website awhile back that has been very helpful for me when checking for gluten in medication.

Eden,

You might want to cut out Lactose (Casein Really) for 6 months to see if it doesn't help your loose stools.

Here is a thread about it entitled "Is Lactose Intolerance, In Part, responsible for Refractory Celiac Disease"

You might also take some Tryptophan, Thiamine and Niacinamide.

Here is the research on how Tryptophan can help Intestioanl Healing in Celiac's.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20201022/Tryptophan-found-in-turkeys-can-accelerate-intestinal-healing-in-people-with-celiac-disease.aspx

You might also read this thread on how Low/NO Stomach is common in Celiacs.

We react to proteins in our diet when get TOO Low in Stomach Acid.

Try treating your Low Stomach Acid going misdiagnosed/undiagnosed and I think you will happy with your results.

Here is my Posterboy Open Letter about it to the Many GI Sufferers still suffering....

Maybe it will help you to read it....

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Hi, it took me about 6 months to just begin to feel a bit better. Probiotics do help. I took Maalox for while given to me at the hospital. However the main thing I contribute to healing my intestines is having a cup of beef bone broth daily for several months. Then I had it sparingly. Depending on how severe your symptoms have been. It can take a long time to feel normal and recover from all the weight loss and even cognitive brain fog. Having to be hyper aware of all the food and even products and seasonings you use can cause a lot of anxiety but it’s worth getting all the gluten out. Once you get into a routine, you’ll become more comfortable and secure in what you eat. Again, I highly recommend making your own bone broth.

Oh wow, ok! I’ll definitely give that a try , thank you so much!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
