Yes.

1) Find a good Naturopath. (N.D.)

2) Look into Candida overgrowth also. It's soooo very common in recovering celiacs who have leaky-gut.

The diet is daunting to say the least, but for me it became a breeze after day1 because I felt good for the 1st time in years!!!

I don't think the leaky-gut / increased intestinal permeability can heal until the digestive "battleground" calms down. I mean eliminating the foods that make the rumbles, bloat, pain etc.

Part of the problem is that leaky-gut can actually create 'allergies/intolerances'.

When particles larger than the system intended start getting into the bloodstream because of the increased spaces betw cells in the intestinal walls, one type that can now get thru is partially digested food.

These particles don't belong in the bloodstream and are unfamiliar to the immune system there.

They don't pass the friend-or-foe test & anti-bodies are made.

Foods that were once fine suddenly are a problem. It's very common and very well-known.

In time, those foods should mostly be fine again - but not w/out their absence for a pretty good amount of time. Not much data that I've seen on this.

I've dealt w/ both leaky_gut and candida.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
