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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
