Hi, Ive read online somewhere that colostrum is a good supplement to take for malabsorbtion and leaky gut issues. I bought some but Im a little wary about trying it because Im afraid Ill get a reaction. Its supposed to help heal the lining of the intestines. Has anyone used this? Ive heard great things.

I want to speed my healing time and Im interested in anything that could assist. Any advice?

Colostrum is a dairy product. Are you ok with that?

I find many references to magnesium being important for absorbing nutrients, though obviously it's not the only thing. There are a number of vegetables and fruits which are good for the digestive tract in various ways, and whole foods are better than supplements, from what I've read. Here's a site I find continuously useful: www.whfoods.com. Here's an article on that site you might find interesting: Open Original Shared Link

Steph, I am not familiar with that. My health journal notes do say to avoid dairy and corn syrup with IBS symptoms, get rid of the bacteria, melatonin improves IBS, get a lot of rest, drink good water and exercise helps move things around. :)

Hi,

I have found many supplements very beneficial, but what to take depends on what kind of symptoms you're still having that you need to address?

I used colostrom for years before I found out I couldn't have dairy. I liked it. It's supposed to be good for your immune system and your intestines.

I'm not sure you can get it where you are - but Inner Health Plus (Dairy free) has been really great for me

Basically any probiotic should be handy now and then, you don't need to take it forever - just when you feel like you need a helping hand

I take a good-quality probiotic and BCQ capsules by Vital Nutrients. Both seem to help.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
