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!!!!

      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.

      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.
