Celiac - Fast Recovery!

It usually takes weeks to start feeling better after im glutened, but last night I decided to try a saltwater flush after being glutened Yesterday to clean the gluten out of my intestines. Man does this work!!! I feel amazing today. It usually takes 2 -3 weeks to feel this good but this was overnight!!

Here is how to do it.

You must do it on an empty stomach.

2 teaspoons of seasalt, not table salt or iodized salt (I used 3 tablespoons because 2 teaspoons didnt work for me)

mix with 32 oz of water

boil the water and salt to help dissolve the components together.

Try to drink all 32 oz within the next 30 minutes (It only takes me 5 minutes)

Stay close to a bathroom because it will hit you within the next hour - hour 1/2

You will probably be making constant trips to the bathroom for the next hour after it hits!

If you try this let me know your results!

Hmm, sounds interesting. I am always looking for ways to avoid all of the crazy side effects I get from a cc.

Would you mind sharing some of your normal symptoms that this recipe solves for you? Have you tried this more than once? Do you end up constipated after you flush your system like that? And if you don't mind me asking, where did you hear of doing a flush of salt water like this?

I think it would be wise to consult a medical doctor, before trying anything so adventurous.

This frankly sounds dangerous to me. I agree with Momma Goose check with your doctor before you try this.

Sounds horrible... how would it help anything to make yourself even sicker?????

Thank you for sharing and I am glad it worked for you. But some people could be putting themselves in grave danger by using this much sodium and even water in such a short amount of time.

Those with certain conditions such as Hypertension, Menier's Disease, Potassium deficiency and those on diuretics should NOT do anything like this. Please consult a doctor before you try anything like this.

The saltwater has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.

Not me, I like my kidneys. :huh:

Fascinating. I'd like to learn more about the biochemistry of this.

This is actually a small part of a larger program called "the Master Cleanser" or, it is sometimes referred to a "the Lemonade Diet." Think of it as a reverse colonic of sorts. The salt does have a higher density than blood and as such prevent absorption throughout theentire GI system. If you have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of swallowing ocean water, you know the effects to a minor degree.

It is 100% safe(according to the vast majority of literature out there about it).

Seasalt makes me feel horrible, if i have more than tiny amounts with a meal. :(

I will list the the most damage-minimizing and symptom-reducing method I have found;

All of these daily until glutening has passed :

  1. Regular doses of Slippery Elm powder.
  2. 2-4 cups of Chamomile tea.
  3. Peppermint leaf tea (or peppermint-ginger mix) as needed. (Stops nausia and stomach pains temp.)
  4. Before each meal or as needed, AloeLife brand "Stomach Plus Formula" (Tastes weird but helps greatly. Can be seen on their website Open Original Shared Link )
  5. Don't stop taking your best multivitimin(s), along with any food you crave due to deficiency.

* I also eat MUCH plain salad, as lettuces calms the tummy and sooth the body; and switch from coffee to green or black tea, as it is absorbed much more gently by your body.

I like Traditional Medicinals and Alvita brands organic teas, as they are mostly gluten-free teas with strict cleaning policies, and I have never experienced cross-contamination. Fresh Slippery Elm powder is slightly better, but the pills are easier.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
