Hope For Our Leaky Guts!

Hey,

I went to see a Naturopathic doctor last Saturday and she was fantastic. The first health practicioner I have been to in the last 4 years who actually gave me hope -- tons of hope. Anyway, she put me on L-Glutamine because this helps to heal leaky gut. I googled it on the internet and the information is so encouraging. We can actually speed up the healing process by taking this along with a good probiotic. Isn't this exciting?! :D I found an informative website as well at www.healthdesigns.com/LeakyGut.html.

I had kind of assumed that I would get to the point where my health would be somewhat better but this Naturopath doctor assured me that I will get healthy and completely better by staying on the gluten/ casein free diet, taking supplements (specifically to address my health issues) and maintaining other healthy habits.

So I just wanted to share the good news about the L-Glutamine with you guys. BTW, if you do take this you should take a good probiotic with it as well.

Cheers,

Marlene (one of these days I will figure out how to do the whole signature thing and be able to provide a few more details about myself )

That's good news! I'm working with a holistic doc to build my health back. I think we get so sick that we need help not only knowing what disease we have, but we also need help regaining health, and it's often more than "just" going gluten-free.

For your sig, go to the "my controls" page. You should see the link for it on the left.

My doctor is in integrative medicine. He has me on both L-glutamine and probiotics.

He did a cool blood test to see what vitamins and minerals are being absorbed and selected supplements.

I tried to start it all at once but found it better to add one at a time, not to upset the system.

So far I added flaxseed oil, B vitamins are next.

I am amazed that mainstream doctors act like if you are not getting better it is somehow your fault.

By reading these boards it seems quite apparent that for many people going gluten-free is only the beginning.

Yep, as soon as my dr. put me on L-Glutamine that's when the weird floating stuff and gross mucus stuff started going away ;)

I started taking it and my loose stools that I've had for 10 months running, cleared up. :)

I'm just getting started with a new clinic that treats the whole person...I'm really excited to see what they suggest...I know supplementation is one of the things they look at.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By Idnam · Posted

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once  a day.   I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's.  which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in my body.

      This is difficult for me to deal with.  B complex is what stands between me and migraines.  Whenever I stop B for just a few days, I get a migraine.  All my adult life I would get a violent migraine for 3 days like clockwork until a doctor told me to try B complex and it worked.  The only time I get a migraine is when I've run out of B.  This has worked for me for over 15 years.  I am soon to be 79.   My cardiologist has me stop all vitamins for about 3 days and I always have a migraine when I go in for the bloodwork.   D level is nearly at optimal.  I don't take A, I get enough from food.   What a dilemma!

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and does make better baked goods. However, it also contains very low levels of gluten (under 20ppm), and some celiacs do react to this level, so if you are super sensitive it's best to avoid it. They also make this very similar product, which doesn't include any wheat ingredient, and is certified gluten-free: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Although labeling products in the USA as "gluten-free" that contain such wheat starch is relatively new, it has been offered in Europe for decades. You can read more about studies on it here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!
