Hello everyone. I was advised to go gluten free by my health provider to help with inflammation, gut health, and autoimmunity. So here I am. Looking forward to giving/getting support and learning.

I was just told by my provider I have leaky gut. I'm about to embark on this journey. I'm supposed to go gluten free, eat anti-inflammatory foods, and she's starting me on a couple of supplements for now.  Anyone been through this,  and bonus if it's been working with integrative medicine.

Welcome to the forum, @JBeth! Have you been officially diagnosed with either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celaic Gluten Sensitivity)?

I ordered some herbal remedies (from a Phyto Therapist) to treat my leaky gut/celiac. Will let the Group know if it has worked in 6 weeks. 🙏

I believe leaky gut syndrome is part and parcel withe celiac disease rather than a separate condition. Here is an interesting article on leaky gut: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22724-leaky-gut-syndrome

May times scientists cannot find a cause for  i.e. leaky gut, because they do not consider lifestyle. Medicine can only relieve symptoms, but 80% of the causes are lifestyle and our own responsibility. We remain ignorant of what choices we make and do not take some resonsibility for our diseases. Hippocrates said something like :  let food be your medicine and not medicine your food?

Yes, the quote attributed to Hippocrates is often rendered as "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This statement reflects the idea that a healthy diet can be a fundamental part of maintaining good health and preventing disease, rather than relying solely on medicines. While the exact phrasing may vary, the essence of the message emphasizes the importance of nutrition in health care.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Marky0320 · Posted

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By NightRaven92 · Posted

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..
