Altered Immunity & The Leaky Gut Syndrome

Open Original Shared Link

Reading the posts I can tell that many are looking at gluten as the ONLY problem. That probably is not the case. Once celiac disease has done some damage you are set up for reactions to multiple foods - as the intestinal lining is damaged and uninvited, unwelcome 'stuff' goes into the bloodstream where it is not only unwelcome but triggers allergy reactions that may be different than your response to gluten or may be almost exactly the same.

Identification of these reactive foods is essential. Once the intestinal lining is healed you will probably be okay with these foods - but not the gluten.

L-Gluatamine is generally considered the very best therapy for the damaged intestine - this of course in the presense of a diet that is free of reactive foods. Claire :)

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By Barcino · Posted

      That is exactly what we are doing and what a top IBD specialist is suggesting. Her exact words she thinks it is more likely than not Crohn's but she doesnt think it needs treating just vigilance. So here we are. His regular GI was pushing for biologics right off the bat, yet the Crohn's specialist is more cautious and more conservative with treatment. Thankful for that.

      @Lotte18, Cheese Its have wheat flour as a primary ingredient so they would not fall under the category of cross contamination. No celiac should consume those. Skittles, on the other hand, are actually gluten free, according to the package. But I don't eat those either.

      @Lotte18, when you say "bread", what is your requirement? Is it sufficient that you can butter it and eat it with a meal, or do you mean a robust sandwich bread that won't break apart with rough handling? I've been experimenting with bread and find it relatively easy to make the former (mix buckwheat flour/flaxseed meal/baking powder, bake and eat) but it's more involved to make the latter (Vitamix, overnight fermentation, and proofing). Personally, I've given up on pre-packaged gluten free breads because I don't like the taste, especially after the first day open (and they are expensive). At any rate, I agree with you on the role of bread - I really miss a good crusty loaf about as much as anything else.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      What your son is experiencing isn’t unheard of, and your doctor’s cautious “watch and monitor” approach makes sense given the mixed signals. In celiac disease, inflammation is typically strongest in the proximal small intestine, but downstream effects—especially after long periods of undiagnosed disease—can sometimes involve the distal or terminal ileum, either from immune activation, microbiome shifts, or residual healing patterns. That said, isolated ileal thickening plus elevated calprotectin does overlap with early or mild Crohn’s disease, even in the absence of symptoms or classic biopsy findings like granulomas. The reassuring parts here are his normalized tTG-IgA, improving calprotectin trend, lack of symptoms, and non-specific histology—all of which argue against aggressive Crohn’s right now. Many kids in this “gray zone” remain stable without progressing, especially when inflammation markers trend down. Continued monitoring with periodic labs and imaging/scopes is key, and it’s reasonable to consider this either prolonged post-celiac immune activity or very mild, indeterminate IBD for now rather than jumping to treatment prematurely.
