Thanks Bethany – glad you found it helpful:)

Hi Sarah – great question! There are many factors in why someone can end up with type 1 diabetes – Genetics, Gut health, and environmental factors.

It’s likely that the 6 year old has an impaired gut to some degree (there are many things that can cause a leaky gut – stress, sleep, diet, toxins, exercise level to name a few)
Chances are, focusing on gut health and diet will do wonders, as this is the case in our experience. Let us know if you have more questions:)

* The question mark shouldn’t be there, it was a emoji that was changed after posting. Thanks again.

Jessica, thank you so much for that link! ?

HI Jim – both Jordan and Steve have had their thyroid checked out at various times and have needed to support they thyroid it one way or another. They Thyroid is such an important part of our health that it’s often a good idea to have it checked along with other things like the adrenals and possible gut infections.

HI Marinela – really sorry to hear that and we hop you found the article helpful! There is hope that you can heal with diet and supplements, so just let us know if you have any questions.

HI Debbie – we really appreciate you taking the time to share this and would love to hear more of your story! What do you think made the biggest difference?

WOw Sherry, what a wild ride! Sorry, that must have been super difficult to go through. We have come a long way since then:)

Who is your Dr and Where..? He sounds amazing

The tooth loss factor is real. I have several autoimmune disorders, and one in particular is the culprit for my tooth loss: SJOGRENS DISEASE. A simple blood test will confirm it.

Hi Joy! I can’t say we’ve done any research on this specifically, but it seems that first soaking them in hot soapy water and then running them through the wash would be sufficient:)

HI Jessica – meat is not created equal and this is where the confusion comes in! Grass fed meat is a totall different product than grain fed feed lot operation type meat. We only suggest grassfed, free range, organic meat and this is actually very good for you. If you find you can’t digest it, you may need to test your HCL levels. HEre is a great website for you to look into and get both sides of the story: eatwild.com

Anything I’ve ever read or documentaries I’ve ever seen has concluded that meat causes inflammation. Is that not what we are trying to avoid? And what nutrients, other than possibly B12 (which I get from from fortified almond milk and/or supplements) could we possibly be missing?

Thanks again

Hello – you can read more information on how zonulin regulates intestinal permeability by tuning into this interview here: https://chriskresser.com/pioneering-researcher-alessio-fasano-m-d-on-gluten-autoimmunity-leaky-gut/

Which company did you use to analyse your 23and me results? I too would like to know any gluten/celiac genes in my results. Thanks

Hello Ahmad – while some may be able to tolerate a small amount from time to time it really isn’t advised to dive back into eating gluten. Gluten directly damages the gut lining, especially for those with celiac. If you’re looking to add in some grain to your diet, you can try quinoa or millet.

Hi Tyra – I’m sorry yo hear your wife is struggling! Please read this article: https://healthygut.com/2015/11/the-celiac-disease-diet-why-gluten-free-isnt-working-and-what-to-do-instead/

Hey Marie – great question. It can be positive in those with other autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s. You can read more here: https://celiac.org/celiac-disease/understanding-celiac-disease-2/diagnosing-celiac-disease/screening/

Hi Peter – there are some foods that science suggests could be cross-reactors for gluten. If you’re gluten sensitive, the best solution is to follow an elimination diet like our Solving Leaky Gut program so that you can then do a reintroduction challenge with these foods and see if they are an issue for you.

Hi pip – thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling to digest fat. You may be having some issues with your gallbladder and we suggest seeing your doctor about that. To support your gallbladder, you can use an ox bile supplements, eat more beets, and use a digestive enzyme (https://healthygut.com/who-needs-digestive-enzymes-and-how-to-take-them/). Most people find that coconut oil is the easiest-to-absorb fat because it doesn’t require bile.

Regarding supplements – we think small amounts of rice or potato flour either as a filler or as a prebiotic food for probiotics are fine if the supplement is otherwise helpful to you.

Hi Janet – thanks for commenting! We certainly agree that there is a strong link between anxiety and other mental symptoms and the health of the gut. For example, here’s one of our favorite success stories about how anxiety was relieved when the gut healed: https://healthygut.com/2015/11/histamine-driven-anxiety-attacks-reversed/

It sounds like you’re back on the right track with SCD. Hang in there!

Hi Darlene – thanks so much for reaching out! We don’t doubt the is true, but we don’t have any experience with it unfortunately 🙁

Hopefully someone reading the comments here will, however.

Hi Le-Ann – thanks for reaching out!

We’re not sure what you mean by meat sweats?

Regarding nuts – they are not a bad food, but they are difficult to digest and can cause a lot of problems for many people. We talk about it more here: https://healthygut.com/what-to-do-when-the-scd-diet-isnt-working/

Most people only need to cut out nuts temporarily while they do some healing, and then can reintroduce them. You’ll learn more about it at the webinar – looking forward to connecting with you there!

I did the 23 and me testing. The 23 and me doesn’t proved the genetic data to you in that degree of detail. Iamvseeing a natural medicine person who could access the data 23 and me gathered. Then I paid her around 35 dollars to send the data to another company that sorted the data and sent it back to us. I ended up with about 44 pages of genetics and the gluten gene was among rhem.

In order to have your raw data interpreted from 23andMe.com, you then have to upload that data to http://www.GeneticJeanie.org or http://www.LiveWello.com & they will send it to you. Hope this helps.

Hey lynne – I’m so sorry to hear what you and your friend are going through. In a situation like this, we don’t recommend doing anything without talking it over with your doctor. That being said, digestive enzymes might be able to help. You can learn more here: https://healthygut.com/who-needs-digestive-enzymes-and-how-to-take-them/
