HI Tine – you can find many of those articles and more here: http://thedr.com/category/all-about-gluten/articles/

It would certainly prove helpful for all of us if these peer-reviewed, scientific studies were listed somewhere. Can you post them?

HI Gary – the first step is to heal your gut and then retest on some of these foods. The truth, however, is thatm wheat, gluten and some forms of dairy are inflammatory and not well tolerated and therefore best left out of the diet long term.

Yes I agree about the glutin free

Hi Cheryl – buckwheat is a gluten free grain and we therefor don’t recommend it (possibly in small amounts depending upon your situation). https://healthygut.com/scd-dieters-why-grains-are-bad/

Hi Stephanie. Recommend you do GAPS introductory . You can put bone broths into feeding tube . You must add sea salt -chloride is needed to make gastric juices specifically HCL which you’re obviously lacking. Also don’t take the fat off the stock it and the gelatin are vital for gut healing.. If you can tolerate butter the buteryic acid aldo aids healing . Coconut oil and lard too. We add a pigs foot to all our stocks -increases gelatin content and vit D . Good luck this will turn your life around.

Hi Amy – thanks for reaching out.

The breadth of symptoms people have from leaky gut is pretty incredible – from brain fog to joint pain to depression and anxiety to chronic hives to digestive issues. In fact – many people with leaky gut don’t even have digestive symptoms at all and have other symptoms instead.

The best way to learn more is to sign up for our free webinar on the “subtle clues” your body is giving you about your gut health: http://solvingleakygut.com/webinar/internal-leakygut2/

I was diagnosed with gluten and soy intolerance and along with gas have lightheadedness at times and anxiety/remors.

I have tried paleo and other diets designed to heal leaky gut, but none of them helped. Now that I know my specific needs, I can tailor my diet to them. And that is why I found your site in the first place–to find recipes that are me friendly. AND I found all this great supporting information! Thank you!

Hi Wendy – thanks of reaching out. We do recommend following the phases of the diet and not just skipping to the legal/illegal foods.

Have you signed up for one of our free webinars yet? This will help you and your daughter come up with a plan for healing: http://solvingleakygut.com/webinar/internal-autoimmune/

Hi Rachel – thanks for reaching out 🙂

First – we’re really happy to hear you’re feeling great!

Secondly – it really depends what you mean by gluten-free- of course you’ll need to avoid gluten for life if you have celiac disease. If you’re eating a diet with a lot of other foods that can promote leaky gut (like soy, industrial oils, and other grains) you should attend our free webinar to learn more about what you can do to promote a healthy gut.

If you’re gluten-free, healthy and thriving on a whole-foods diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit, healthy fats, meat, and safe starches – congratulations!

Thanks Kathryn!

We’re so glad to know this article helped you.

If you ever have questions or need more support, please don’t hesitate to let us know 🙂

Hi KC – it’s awesome to hear we’ve been a resource for you on your healing journey!!!

Congratulations on your newfound health 🙂

Hi KC – thank you so much for sharing your experiences, being so positive and honest, and giving such great advice.

We’re grateful to have you as part of this community.

Hi Julie. Well, my healing isn’t coming from my doctor. He doesn’t really know how to treat me. And all my allergiest/immunologist said was “stay away from these foods.” You have awesome knowledge at your fingertips–the computer. Read the blogs, google any question you have and the internet will lead you to what you need to know. I’m a researcher at heart; a teacher so its easy for me to get info I need because I know what to ask and then research and find. Don’t throw in the towel…ever. In this website and others you may come across, you’ll find healing. Start right here. Read scdlifestyles articles, take notes, print info and take baby steps if you have to, but do something positive and journal whats working and not working for you. Whats people saying in blogs? Those that have celiac, whats their outcomes? Go from there. What supplements are they taking and do you have the same symptoms? You do this and you may surprise yourself with a positive turn-around in your health. That chardonnay may sound good right now, but we know its only a superficial pleasure. Gods healing and peace in Jesus name!

Stephanie and Julie. I highly believe in fermented vegies and a great live probiotic daily. Also, one of the best digestive healers in my opinion and multitudes of others is beef marrow broth. I suggest you google it to obtain info. During an inflammation flare up with my first cup of broth the inflammation, bloating disappeared. Vit D3, L Glutamine, beef marrow broth, probiotics, supplements to cure any infection, digestive enzymes, an adrenal support supplement (if needed), for women-hormone balancing supplements or cream, good quality aloe vera juice, increased water intake, a healthy diet and lifestyle of proper cardio and weight training and Gods grace is helping me tremendously.

My parents are going to Sacramento (my brothers home) for Thanksgiving and asked me to come. Since being newly diagnosed, but having gluten intolerance for years and only thought I had severe hayfever allergies, I told them I couldn’t go and it all had to do with the foods. They understood. I could’ve made my own stuffing, desserts, etc but don’t want to go through the extra headache and stress of doing different at this time. My sis-in-law, my mom would be cooking regular Thanksgiving and then I’d have to try to prepare my “special” Thanksgiving. No, too many bodies in the kitchen. So, I opted to stay in my town, prepare my own food and heal myself. One day, I’m sure that I would know how to better deal with this type of situation but for now, staying home is my choice. People in my circle have been given some knowledge as to gluten intolerance and the possible outcomes if it’s ignored so they’re understanding. I’ve got a lot more life in me and desire to do it in the best health I can. So, yep taking charge of our health is the only way! Gods healing and peace!

I forgot to add: I have regular normal BM’s now, no constipation as I’m allowing my body and gut to completely heal. No sticky rice (yet). I will re-introduce foods slowly after I’ve had complete healing and get the ok (from the Lord).

I’ve been diagnosed with gluten intolerance, and a few food intolerances for about a year now. I’ve come to learn more about this condition better than most mainstream doctors because of the help of the internet. Months ago, out of frustration on a 3 day gluten whatever binge I ate what I wanted UNTIL I awoke and was unusually constipated. No matter what I did, I couldn’t have a BM. I got real scared. I did research. After several days with no BM I turned to drinking liquid magnesium citrate and did it too often over a period of 2 weeks and a hot fire raged in my lower abdomen and then a candida rash across my belly then around my neck…leaky gut, inflammation, candida, stress. I prayed, repented and began to clean up the mess I made through a bad decision of eating gluten and all else. I learned abd. massage to relieve constipation, I de-glutenized myself through good eating choices, increased water intake, supplements, etc. 2 months later and not totally healed so I did more research and low and behold scdlifestyle through Gods direction (Im a Christian minister) I came upon several articles. Vitamin D3 and inflammation, the 3 heads (don’t remember the titles but I printed the info), and info on how grains hinder/damage the gut. I was still eating rice especially since going gluten free and not eating out to my Asian restaurants; I had to learn how to cook my favorite ethnic food-Asian. So, I was still eating sticky rice almost daily. I had become an African American Asian 🙂 This website helped me to my gut healing. I eat MORE paleo now, I know how to better read labels and know that gluten free labels in the USA only mean less than 10 or 20 ppm-which still means possible gluten exposure. The first day I took the appropriate amount of Vit D3 for me, bam! Fire hot abdomen subsided dramatically within 30 mins. Im treating the candida with proper supplements and eating habits, the rash is gone, where it was almost impossible to lose weight my weightloss is occurring (food intolerances, gluten intol., hormone imbalance, adrenal fatigue). Anyhoos, I appreciate this website and what you’ve endured Jordan, to be able to share and teach us what you’ve learned through your years of pain and suffering. I pray everyone’s healing in Jesus name.

Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and
checking back often!

Hi Sonal, thanks so much for reaching out to us. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet isn’t about a specific way of preparing foods like rice, but about eating specific types of carbohydrates that are easier for the body to digest. The best place to start is with our free quick start guide here: https://healthygut.com/scd-quick-start-guide/ From there, our eBook explains exactly how to start the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and move through all the phases. You can find our more about the book here:http://scdlifestylebook.com

my 2 yr old daughter is recently diagonised with celaic disese. i wanted to ask which specific carbohydrate diet has to be given to improve and digest other food. how to cook white rice i.e. without carbohydrate? or steamed rice?

Hi Dini, this is a great question and the truth of the matter is, is that gluten free foods are still boxed, process foods that contain inflammatory grains- all of which negatively effect our health. You can see how your body does with consuming them once and a while, but we do not suggest these types of foods are a staple in your diet.

Thanks for the feedback, Brittany! Please let us know if we can support you further.

Hi,

I am just wondering…have you concidered that GM soy and GM corn cause also leaky gut and dozens of different symptoms including inflammation. There are studies also about meat that has been produced using previous GM organisms and they show that GM animal feed is passed through the animals we eat into human body causing there bad problems. I am just thinking as a vegetarian, that there are lots of plants that have not been studied but propably have their defence systems as well. Why do you think Soy would be worse than other beans or grain? Just because they happen to be tested and there are recearch about them? BR. Esa Salonen, B.Eng Food Tech. M. Eng Environmental tech.
