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.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months? 
    • Gigi2025
      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.
