What exactly does that mean? :unsure:

It is when the intestinal tract has increased permeability and allows toxins and harmful microorganisms into your bloodstream.

So is it stuff leaking *out* of the digestive tract? Or leaking *into* the tract? And... sorry, I know this is probably answered already.... does leaky gut generally equate to celiac disease? Before I ever heard of celiac disease, I thought to myself "it seems like there's holes in my stomach and the food is leaking out."

Thanks 12bgf for asking this question! It has been on my mind too, but I keep forgetting to ask!

THE DIFINITION GIVEN BY KAITI USA IS GOOD:

It is when the intestinal tract has increased permeability and allows toxins and harmful microorganisms into your bloodstream.

IF YOU TAKE YOUGURT FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS PONTENTIAL BAD BACTERIA (STREPTOCOCUS) IN IT, BUT SCIENTIST DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DON'T HARM WHEN CONSUMED IN YOGURT.

FOLLOWING THIS EXAMPLE, LET'S FIGURE YOUR G.I. TRACT IS FULL OF GOOD AND POTENTIAL BAD BACTERIA SUCH AS ESCHERIA COLI (E-COLI). WITH A NORMAL GI TRACT THERE IS NO HARM FROM THOSES BAD BACTERIA.

WITH A GUT THAT LEAKS (LEAKY GUT), SMALL PARTICULES OF UNDIGESTED FOOD CROSS YOUR INSTESINE AND GO RIGHT INTO YOUR BLOOD STREAM AND THIS LEADS YOU TO A FOOD ALLERGY. BECAUSE UNDIGESTED FOOD INTO YOUR BLOOD STREAM IS VERRY DANGEROUS AND THAT'S WHY YOUR BODY IS PRODUCING AN IMMUNE REACTION (NEUTRALISE AND ELIMINATE UNDIGESTED FOOD).

NOW, WHAT ABOUT POTENTIAL BAD BACTERIA...LOTS OF BACTERIA IN YOUR GI TRACT TRANSFORM MEAT INTO SUB PRODUCTS FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT. IF THEY CROSS YOUR INTESTINAL WALL AND GOES INTO YOUR BLOOD STREAM, THEY WILL DO AS USUAL, TRY TO TRANSFORM MEAT INTO SUB PRODUCTS. THE PROBLEM IS THIS TIME, IT'S YOUR OWN TISSUES THAT RISK TO BE TRANSFORMED. THIS IS THE SEPTICEMIA CONCEPT.

SOME COELIAC DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SUFFER OF CHRONIQUE FATIGUE. IF YOU GOT A GUT THAT IS LEAKING, YOUR BODY SPEND HIS TIME REMOVING WHAT IS ANORMALY LEAKING FROM YOUR GUT BY PRODUCING ANTI-BODY, WETHER IT IS AGAINST FOOD OR AGAINST BAD BACTERIA.

ALL THIS IS WELL EXPLAINED BY DOUG KAUFMANN IN THE FUNGUS LINK

LEAKY GUT IS NOT celiac disease

LEAKY GUT LEADS TO AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE...SUCH AS celiac disease.

Thank you so much for explaining!!!

Regarding the yogurt.... sometimes (usually in fact) after I eat it my tummy does hurt.

:unsure: I don't know any better way to describe this but here goes:

I've noticed when I eat certian foods (especially back before I got off gluten) I was always gasy & my tummy even seemed like it was too. It would always make weird noises like it was full of air trying escape.

I'm sure that was from my body not digesting gluten?

LUAP Newbie

IF YOU GOT PAIN WHEN YOU EAT SOMETHING, I WOUD MAKE A 2$ ON YOUR ANTI-BODY ATTACKING, JUST LIKE WHEN YOU WHERE EATING GLUTEN.

MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO TAKE NOTE OF WHAT HURTS AND REMOVE IT FROM YOUR DAY TO DAY DIET...MAKE SOME TEST AFTER SOME WEEKS TO SEE IF THE FOOD ALLERGY IS GONE. FOOD ALLERGY IS NOT FOR LIFE (EXCEPT FOR GLUTEN AND OTHER WASTE PROTEIN SUCH AS ASPARTAME), EVERYTHING IS SUPPOSED TO GET BACK RIGHT ON TRACK WHEN THE LEAKY GUT SYNDROME IS GOING TO BE CLEARED.

HOW TO GET RID OF THE LEAKY GUT SYNDROME, THERE IS DIFFERENT STRATEGIES...

FOR JORDAN RUBBEN AND OTHER NATUROPATHS, IT'S PROBOTICS AND EATING FERMENTED FOOD, AND FOOD AGAINST FUNGUS, CANDIDA, MOLDS...

FOR DOC MERCOLA AND DOUG KAUFMANN, IT'S THERE LOW CARB DIET, NOT THE ATKINS DIET WICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT LEADS YOU TO A CONDITION CALLED KETOSIS.

GAS AND WEIRD NOISE ARE CREATED BY YOUR LEAKY GUT PROBLEM AND YOUR HIGH CONSOMMATION FOR CARBO HYDRATES (SUGARS). THE MORE YOU EAT CARBS, THE MORE YOU GET GAS AND OTHER PROBLEMS.

bourbourygmi - the noisy sounds your intestines can make - is a symptom of celiac disease. if I get glutened, it happens within 4-6 hours. ;-)

Sometimes you can hear mine clear across the room!

It sounds like a thunderstorm going on in there...... The way mine feels, it reminds me of a submarine. I can sit there and it seems that the gas "breaks through" one point, I can hear it moving down to the next and then it site there until it "breaks through again". It's like a submarine with hatches opening up! I can literally visualize the gas/food, whatever, moving through my system....

Wow, I never knew that all those sounds in my stomach could be from celiac disease. My stomach is always noisy and LOUD! It's like it's constantly gurgling. That's from celiac disease?

tarnalberry Community Regular

Bourbourygmi is not unique to celiac, but it is indeed one of the symptoms.

Guest Eloisa

There is a great book my neighbor loaned me and it discussed leaky gut and all the tests and symptoms of Celiac and children with Autism and learning disabilities and had great recipes in it and I believe it was called Special Diets for Special Kids I & II.

I often gurgle, too...but I only hear it when the whole room is quiet :lol:

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!

      hi, how are u now? any answers?
    • mermaidluver22
      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
