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!

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
