Leaky Gut - Diet

I have been reading up on Leaky Gut and the more I read the more I believe this is my problem.

So I am going to try the diet, I have found some information on the diet at Open Original Shared Link this page has given me the basics, can anyone suggest any other really good sites with info?

All the foods I think listed on the diet are problem foods for me, so it shouldn't be too hard to give up, corn I have never had an issue with but i will try cut it out and see.

Thanks

Lisa

Can anyone suggest breaky ideas? I currently eat cornflakes or toast most days, although the toast is not too fulling and nutritious.

What fruits are ok? I noticed it said you can eat fruit although I find some fruits make me worse and fruit are high in suger so I would have thought you were to stay away from fruits.

Thanks

You could do a rice-based cereal with almond milk, sliced almonds, and (not too much) fruit (berries are good, even frozen), with a herbal tea.

Or make a shake with almond milk, berries and, and... I dunno, whatever you can dream up. There is a rice-based protein powder in the U.S., don't know if it exists down here.

Or you can eat dinner or lunch for breakfast - why not?

I clicked on the link and immediately wished I hadn't! :blink: My dr. wants to test me for food allergies and leaky gut, among other things....she was right about the gluten problem, and deep down I believe she's on to something with the leaky gut/allergies, too. I will get tested as soon as I can come up with the cash (no insurance), because on the one hand I want to face whatever else is wrong with me head-on.

On the other hand....give up coffee? Are they out of their freaking minds? Dairy? EGGS, for crying in the dark? Dear Lord, I have CHICKENS in the back yard! :o I can't put my girls out of a job! (o.k. at this point, I'm really needing a good "screaming tantrum" emoticon here!)

Oh, but seriously....Obviously I've already given up gluten, and since I've been on a low-carb diet I've given up sugar, all grains, rice...what's left? Meat and veggies? Something like this may well take another miracle like the ones that got the Carb Queen here (who was just getting set up to brew her own beer) to give up gluten and way too many carbs. :huh:

I could give up everything on that list except eggs! Coffee would be difficult but I could do it. In fact I think I might have a coffee intolerance but reluctant to go there :P I like my morning cuppa joe.

Is this how I "reply"? Testing, testing. Okay, my CFS/FM just tested my food sensitivities through Meridian Labs. Not too many surprises - dairy and wheat and gluten are off the charts. Corn is okay. Kale, vanilla, turmeric are iffy. While not surprised, I am a little (!) depressed at the thought of no real pizza for 6 months, but appreciate that I don't have full blown Celiac where it would be forever.

Very interesting to me is that some suffering the "gluten withdrawal" describe symptoms very similar to my long and nasty journey getting off Effexor (antidepressant) - brain zaps, vertigo, etc.

Anyway, here I am looking for support as I adjust to these dietary changes, and hope that I get my brain and energy (and life) back.

I've given up eating a "normal" North American breakfast. Some meat and fruit set me up for a much better day than carbs. So what if my kids think I'm strange? In Japan salmon and rice are breakfast. In Israel salad is breakfast. Eat what makes YOU feel well!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?
