I wouldn't do it when it was suggested to me (preDx when I was very ill and no one could figure it out.) I read a lot about it and determined it was not a great idea.

I know others will say it is. You asked for thoughts and these are mine.

Just curious....

Why would you want to purposefully disrupt the natural good gut flora you are trying to repopulate ? :blink:

The human body naturally removes waste material.

Are you impacted with stool or something?? :blink:

If so, HYDRATE--the right way---drink the water :lol: and take probiotics and eat more foods with fiber.

If you are not preparing for a colonoscopy, I can think of no good reason to "wipe down " the lining of the intestines.

Just my humble opinion. :) I have worked so hard to get my gut to calm down and this is the LAST thing that I would do.

My acupuncturist wanted me to do this also before I was diagnosed. I passed. I agree with the previous poster I do not think they benefit us.

I agree with the above. If everything is working, I let it be. If it isn't, then I need more water, apples, and yogurt!

I hve to agree with the above posts, I don't think a colon cleanse is natural and it disrupts what is already trying to neutralize itself, why make it barren and flora free? Just my opinion though

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
