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?

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?

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

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 do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
