I am glad you are researching a bit before you do this. It is not something I would reccommend for us. If you feel strongly that you need to detox how about doing a one day fast with fresh juices and lots of water. Then the next day or two eat only unprocessed naturally gluten free food, (that is how I eat every day but many can't live without their premade stuff). Your body will naturally detox itself if you give it good whole foods and drop anything processed for a bit. The boxed detoxes can be rather dangerous for folks whose systems are already compromised.

Hi,

I looked for some info on that myself a while ago, and came across a book by sandra cabot, called 'the liver cleansing diet' (the liver being our detoxorgan). It's quite good, and has recipes in it as well. No medicins suggested, only some herbs and otherwise a lot of commonsense suggestions. With all your foodallergies you would probably have to adjust some of the recipes. Might be interesting to look into it..

You might read up on far-infrared saunas. I have FIR sauna and my skin has never felt better. It has obviously drawn out a lot of toxins. They draw out much more than traditional saunas with a much lower heat ... things like heavy metals, pollutants, plastics, etc. The heat from this goes deep into tissue and draws out the impurities.

I have a Sunlight Sauna .... mine was expensive (though they have cheaper models), but I know there are saunas for as low as $300.

I also feel that eating a higher percentage of raw fruits and veggies is good. Check out the Fit For Life books (though a bit sarcastic, they have good info). You can also check out Harvey Diamond on my space.

Humaworm (www.humaworm.com) is a very good all-over parasite cleanse.

A warm epsom salt bath is detoxing .... 2 cups espsom salts, one cup baking soda.

Lemon water is alkalinizing. You should be drinking 2-3 quarts of water daily.

These are things I've had good results from.

I am looking into this too thanks for the post you guys.

I am currently eating 2 Milk Thistle capsule a day as a supplement and I drink the lemon water too.

I keep it chilled in the fridge in a pitcher :)

Good luck with your healing :)

This is the detox I did that eventually helped me figure out that I am GI.

A good morning detox/metabolism booster drink is lemon water with a bit of ginger and garlic grated in along with a dash of cayenne. If my joints are swollen, I add turmeric. ;)

Seaweed is really good to eat because it takes out a lot of heavy metals from your body. Add it to some homemade miso soup because miso also helps the body to natural detoxify. Hope this helps!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
