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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

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

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
