Ways Of Healing Damaged Intestines?

Greetings,

I have been gluten free for 6 months to a year now. I would like to know if what are some ways that I can heal my gut without giving up so many things. I am taking a dairy free probiotic. I stopped eating raw veggies due to arthritic symptoms. After stopping carbs because of the candida and most fruits it seemed like I did not have very much to eat. I also take enzymes prescribed by GI doctor. This morning I noticed my tongue Any suggestions from the veterans are welcomed.

Well, I'm not a "veteran" when it comes to being g.f., as I've only been g.f. for about a month and a half, but I am a veteran when it comes to probiotics! I have tried so many over the years, and none seemed to really help. Well o.k., now I realize that the candida problems were mostly brought on by gluten; but even before going g.f. one was recommended to me by an Herbalist that actually worked great---and fast. And that was when I was at my worst before cutting the gluten! It's a two-step thing; the first one is called Yeast Away and the second one is called Yeast Control. It works by killing the yeast, yet there's no "detox" effect from billions of yeast simultaneously dying off, because it contains cellulase enzymes, which kills it by rupturing it's cell wall, and it's then absorbed into the body. And the yeast can't become immune to it, because it's cell wall is destroyed and it can't just change it's basic structure, like some of those little critters can. So, no "healing crisis", unless, perhaps, the infection is very severe, and then in that case the website advises you to start slowly. Just scroll to the bottom of the page, it explains it. Here is the website, if you want to take a gander at it: Open Original Shared Link

Now I don't know if they're still doing it, but a few months ago when I ordered the large size bottle of Yeast Away, I was in for a nice surprise when they sent along a coupon with my order, for one free bottle of Yeast Control. Nice!

Hi,

I've been gluten free for a year and a half now and think kimchee helped to heal my gut and helps it when I get glutened (not that I'll eat it when I feel sick). It is the Korean version of sauerkraut. Koreans swear by it for health and taste. It is fermented Asian cabbage with a hot chili spice (bonus healing). Fermented veggies have similar properties to yogurt- with all the good bacteria for your gut.

Before I went gluten free, any type of fermented cabbage would fill me with gas, but as I've become well I've been able to tolerate this in large portions. I like to eat it on a regular basis.

All the best in finding healing for your gut. :)

I meant to add, these fermented veggies can be cooked. I'm not sure if these reduces their effectiveness, but I like to put kimchee in a soup or stew for instance. It can be found in any Asian grocery, in the refrigerated section.

      Hello, I am new here and currently on my 3rd week of gluten-free and finally starting to feel better after 5 months of pain, IBS symptoms, and losing 1 and a half stone.  I also have low white blood cells and wondered if it might be related.  Just wanted to share! I've been tested for autoimmune diseases and had stool tests, blood tests and all fine (apart from white blood cells are at 3.0). Doc wants to retest for Celiac but I need to be eating gluten and quite frankly, I really don't want to!

      Since I've been a member of this forum,  I've seen some people write that they have not been able to tolerate corn, and others nightshades - tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers (including bell peppers, chili peppers, and paprika).    However, intolerances can be short term, just while you are healing.    So bear this in mind if you start dropping certain foods from your diet - you may well be able to eat them again once you are healed.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...
