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.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
