Need Advice For Intestinal Healing


Alicia

Recommended Posts

Alicia Rookie

I have been gluten free for a little over a year now but am still having a lot of pain after I eat.

I am also suffering from severe constipation and major bloating which is aweful for the self asteem.

I have been taking probiotics and digestive enzymes but they don't seem to be helping much.

Does anybody have any advice for me? How do I repair my intestinal lining and what should I be taking?

Also what helps calm down your intestines if you have been glutened by accident?

Ok obviously I need a lot of help!!!

I no you said you were gluten free alread, buy maybe it is other intorlerences like dairy, or soy or corn. Maybe you have to cut down to the basics like fruits, veggies, chicken and fish for a few week and then start to add things when you start feeling better. I know this has worked for others.

Many have found a magnesium supplement to be very helpful for the things you've mentioned. I'd recommend a powder or liquid form to ensure the most effective absorption. Many of the ones available on the market also contain calcium, which is another nutrient which is often deficient in Celiacs.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the help I hate the elimination diet I've tried it before and then failed.

I know though that I need to stick with it it's just so hard with family gatherings and everything.

I'm going to stop complaining and give it another try though.

thanks for the suggestions!!!!!!!

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
