Colostrum

Hello people. I have heard colostrum can help heal the gut and can be used as a preventative measure prior to exercise. My questions are:

1. has anyone had good/bad experiences with using it?

2. does it contain the same components as regular milk that cause many people to abstain or reduce milk intake during early stages of gut healing? fwiw i am 5 months gluten-free and have found less gastric distress from reducing milk intake but don't want to use colostrum if it brings back those symptoms.

Thanks.

Interesting question. I would wonder though since, I think, mother's who are eating gluten are advised to go gluten free when they have celiac babies that are nursing if colostrum from gluten eating women would also be an issue. I'm curious to see what other's might think about this.

My sons gastro prescribed colostrum for him and i started taking it for myself because we both have been run down with belly issues and sickness all winter. I do feel like it helps both of us. I don't have dairy in my diet either and I don't feel like the colostrum bothers my stomach.

Darn...you learn something every day.  Who knew colostrum could be prescribed?  Guess I need to start crawling out from under my rock. :rolleyes:

My sons gastro likes to prescribe a lot of holistic medicines. I like that about her.

      I am surprised that your doctor would not diagnose based on sight? I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis but the biopsy came back negative. The dermatologist said that can happen as the disease was not active at the time, but it was classic dermatitis herpetiformis in his opinion especially since I was already diagnosed with celiac several years prior to the dermatitis herpetiformis flare up. Like many on the dermatitis herpetiformis threads I suffered from itchy burning lesions on my elbows. Very painful when I was in the shower. Dermatologist prescribed dapsone gel 7.5%. There is a pill option but I wanted to first try the topical gel and it eased the burning sensation and after a few weeks got rid of the visible signs of dermatitis herpetiformis. I only use it when my dermatitis herpetiformis is active. I recently had a flare up but had the dapsone gel available and it quickly eased the itchy burning skin on both elbows (which is where I usually get dermatitis herpetiformis). I was also told to avoid iodine and of course gluten.

      I have celiac and I have been gluten free for several years. Very careful and as far as I know I have never consumed gluten. Recently my bowel movements changed dramatically and I have been Bristol 6 for two months and just now moving to Bristol 5. My GI ran all sorts of blood tests and all were good. The celiac panel test for tTG IgA came back at 13.6 (normal <15). My GI said that is normal. Is that normal for someone on a gluten free diet? I am wondering if I did Ingest gluten and the Bristol 6 stools, the abdominal pain, and nausea are all a result of eating gluten. The GI does not think so since I was at 13.6...or in his words "normal". He wants to do endoscopy, biopsy, colonoscopy, because he is concerned it may be something more serious. Could this just be a case of gluten "poisoning"? I feel like my bowel movements are slowly normalizing but still having some issues.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
