Has Anyone Tried This?

I have been researching different websites and at www.curezone.com has information about bowel cleanses, liver flushes, gallbladder flushes, etc. etc. and everyone on there saying how much improvement they have had after doing it. I am really nervous to try it considering how sensitive and tender my bowels are to begin with. Has anyone tried this approach, and if so, did you have any success?

Thanks!

If you do it and go back to eating gluten you will still be sick.I tried that before the dr found what was wrong with me.All it will do is give you a real bad case of diareah(sp).I was to the point I would do anything and that didn't help at all.

Hi--Please be careful with those "bowel flushing" or "liver cleansing" pills. Most of them are bunk.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

In my opinion, the best bowel cleanser is lots and lots of water daily. Water is a miracle cure, and most people do not drink enough of it.

Good luck to you.

That site claims: "Celiac disease is caused by primary liver stones (intrahepatic stones)." I've never seen any research to support that claim, and have seen an awful lot of well-accepted research that celiac disease is genetic. A cleanse of any sort is not going to change your genetics.

Hi.

I am quite new around here but I know a few bits about things like bowel cleanses and liver flushes etc.

A bowel cleanse would not cure Celiac disease and nor would a liver flush. However a bowel cleanse would be of benefit. The large bowel is responsible for absorbing vitamins/minerals, water etc whilst also been one of the bodies means of getting rid of toxins/waste.

Due to modern day diet the bowel rarely works properly. Most peoples bowels become coated in mucoid plaque which obviously stops it from working as well as it should. People also rarely get enough friendly bacteria in their diets anymore. Without a decent level of friendly bacteria you get issues such as bloating, irregular bowel movements, diarrhoea or constipation, the list goes on. Most people these days are constipated without realising it. Going to the toilet once a day is not really a healthy thing to do.

One of the main issues a lot of celiac seem to get is bloating, toilet issues and so on. Now if you supplement with good bacteria and have a colon which is working efficiently then the side effects you would suffer when you accidentally consume a product which contains or is contaminated with wheat would not be as much of a problem. Another bonus is that when your bowel is working more efficiently you will absorbed more of the vitamins/minerals you consume either in general food consumption or supplementation therefore been more healthy.

Canadian Karen, if you are going to do any sort of cleanses you must start with the bowel cleanse especially before something like a liver flush. If you have problems with a sensitive bowel the best thing to use would be a magnesium based cleanser such as Oxypowder. Many people on curezone rave about Oxypowder simply because it uses oxygen bubbles to gently break up the mucoid plaque in the bowel and also draws water in to the intestines to help you go to the toilet more often and more easily. There is nothing else that is as gentle to your insides.

I have decided not to try for now....

I am too worried that it will be too hard on my already ravaged bowels... And now that I found out I have collagenous colitis (I start treatment this week for it....) I have decided to see if this treatment will improve my bowels in any way..... I really hope so.....

Thanks for your reply, the whole cleanse thing really intrigues me...... especially seeing the pictures of all the stones!!!!

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
