HI Beth – the webinar will dive into a few things you can do to dig deeper (like stool testing). You can read more here: https://healthygut.com/6-gut-infection-case-studies-why-you-should-get-stool-testing-done-asap/

People don’t heal because they eat gluten free foods that still has gluten in it. 20PPM is not gluten free. Corn can effect people like it was gluten and it is a type of gluten. They got gluten in everything and everwhere. I get sick on gluten free foods. There are very few that don’t make me sick. Pamela’s is one of them.

I consider eggs can carry a tad bit of gluten in the egg that the chicken eats. I had one insist that it can’t but I looked it up and one person did do research on such and a protein of what they fed the chicken did show up in the egg. I was not gluten but that can happen so can gluten. The lady was very insistent that I was ignorant on it. No my body tells me what it can take and can’t. I ate grain free fed chicken eggs and I was fine. So since it is winter I had to give up eggs again. The gluten free society has a different take on the standard GF diet. I think there is something to it. 10PPM is too much gluten. They can test down to 3 so that is the level gluten free food should be tested at and not a bit higher.

You will have to become and activist in this way of life. They even don’t have gluten free foods in senior centers and meals on wheels or anything and that is a violation of the disablity’s act.

I know how it feels to be sick much of the time.

HI Jessica – yes, you should! Healing the gut is going to be key for you:)

Hi Sam – yeah that is definitely not typical. Were you eating gluten at the time of the tests?

HI Chasity – We have a ton of information for you to read on Celiac disease and suggest you start by reading the following:

HI Gail, sorry to hear you’re feeling this way. I’d first recommend a new practitioner who is more willing to work with you and explain your results. (Make sure you ask them to if you haven’t yet!) If you’re interested in a new practitioner, you can find one here: https://healthygut.com/practitioners/ It sounds like you might have some thyroid issues just based on your symptoms, so perhaps you can ask your physician about that specifically.

Hello – thanks for sharing:)

I’ve been unsure if my GI issues are at their core SIBO, dairy-related, or as a handful of all-together-too-smug commentators think it’s useful to suggest: “in my head.” It’s probably worth mentioning that overreaction likely holds fewer consequences for most people than missing a diagnosis. This is totally the inflamed me talking, but man is it annoying to hear arguments like “well there’s something to be said for going out with people and just being able to enjoy food.” Duh. But, there’s also something to be said for not getting brain damage from your food. 😀

I intentionally ate a piece of wheat bread last night to clarify the issue. The problem is definitely not in my head. Now that I’m suffering the consequences — irritability, bloating, joint pain and other random pains throughout the body, difficulty breathing deeply, reduced nerve sensation in my extremities, poor circulation, and big cognitive/social deficits I won’t describe in detail, I’ve decided to do some internet therapy by posting these gluten-reaction inspired thoughts. Please forgive any poor reasoning or negativity–normally I’d be more positive.

The worst part is realizing this issue could have been ongoing for years, decades, or one’s entire life. What kind of person would each CD or gluten-sensitive person be if they had never experienced the damage to their health this brings on? I wonder because my worst symptoms seem to be mental. It also seems clear that many angry and dissatisfied people may simply be suffering from inflammatory conditions.

Back to an elimination diet of whole foods and 0 whole grains.

Hey Megan – thanks for reaching out.

Our goal certainly isn’t to scare people or make them feel hopeless – but the truth is that Celiac disease is a very serious diagnosis and we don’t think a gluten-free diet alone is enough to heal from Celiac.

I suggest you read this article for more info on Celiac and what you can do ti heal your gut: https://healthygut.com/celiac-disease-101/

A 76% increase in death the first year of diagnosis? Thanks for handing out a death sentence to someone newly diagnosed and scared ?

Hey Katey – thanks for reaching out!

There is no one supplement you can take to heal leaky gut. Anyone who tells you there is is lying. Healing your gut requires addressing your diet, modifying your lifestyle (like managing stress) AND the use of some healing supplements.

We explain how to do each of these three steps in our free webinar here: http://solvingleakygut.com/webinar/internal-autoimmune/

Couldnt agree more! I belive fibre and soya milk and brown breaf got me into celiac which I discvered after bad unexpected anemia. Until after I reduce intake of most veg (even cooked carrots caused sympomos) i could start feeling something was healing.
Most important tho-celiacs dont listen to their gut but to the ‘healthy info’ out there. Good luck everyone, take it easy, breath properly and be easy on urself.

Hi Angela – please start here: https://healthygut.com/celiac-disease-101/

Hi Fia – if you need to rely on added fiber supplements to poop, you might want to check this out: http://constipationhelp.scdlifestyle.com/

Mike I disagree with you about the fiber issue. I need tons of fiber daily as a celiac or else I get constipated. Fiber is helping me immensely to have normal bm. But I don’t eat too much raw stuff because it does seem to be somewhat irritating. I use the metamucil type–psyllium seed husks.

Hey Jared – thank you for commenting 🙂

We are really interested in this field of research as well. We’re hoping to have some content to share related to this topic soon.

Awesome to hear what is working for you Coleen – thank you for commenting 🙂

Mary, I had exactly the same problem — gut issues got worse when I went GF 3 years ago! Just about everything put me in the bathroom, but especially other grains, veggies, even rice noodles! About 8 mos. ago I got on a “zero carb” (meat, eggs, cheese, etc.) and have never felt better! If I stray from this way of eating, I pay for it! I also lost the few pounds that I couldn’t get rid of.

Warm and healthy regards,
Deborah

Hi Melany – we’re so sorry you’re still struggling with Celiac’s.

Jordan was sick too, until he switched to SCD.

The good news is, we believe SCD can help you far more than a traditional GF diet.

The best place to start is with our Free quick start guide here: https://healthygut.com/scd-quick-start-guide/

From here, we highly recommend following the directions in the eBook for best results: http://scdlifestylebook.com/

I hope you’re feeling a lot better soon – if you have questions or need support on the diet let us know at support@scdlifestyle.com

Hi Amy – thanks for your comment! Of course, there is no way to know if people in the studies are cheating or not. On top of these studies, however, we have a lot of anecdotal and personal experience in typical “gluten-free” diets not being enough to create lasting health. Many people who react to gluten also react to dairy because the protein casein in dairy is really similar to gluten, based on our research!

Glad we could connect with you here!

I do wonder in the studies you mention how many of the subjects are actually 100% gluten-free. Are they just reporting gluten-free but actually cheating at times? I agree that dairy needs to be removed until the villi grow back. It is my understanding that the milk digestion enzyme factories are in the tips of the villi which are missing because of the gluten lesion. Have you ever heard this?

Thanks so much for sharing your perspective. Celiac disease is a real health concern – and you’re right that those with a true allergy to gluten have to be extremely careful in what they eat!

However, leaky gut is a term used by real doctors (you might also hear them say intestinal permeability) and it is directly related to many autoimmune diseases (like Celiac). We encourage you to attend one of our free webinars of leaky gut to learn more.

Hi LM – we update the blog all the time!

This post went live today: https://healthygut.com/the-truth-about-gluten-free-food/

I hope you enjoy it 🙂

Hi Sharon, adapting to an antiinflammatory diet is the first step and then please read here for more info: https://healthygut.com/natural-cold-and-flu-management/

Hi Shelley, thanks for reaching out! It would be a good idea to see what is going on, even you feel Ok at this point. You might think you feel OK but experience a whole new level of energy when you address the diagnosis.

HI Rick, thanks for reaching out! The most important thing here is to get on the SCD diet or something similar so you can begin the healing process. It is also a good idea to work w a practitioner for this condition and a supplement program. Next, digestive enzymes can help the effects of consuming gluten, but this is not going to allow you to get to the root of the issue and heal the gut. If you need a place to start, please go here: https://healthygut.com/scd-quick-start-guide/

Thanks, Rick

Hi Louise, thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you are having a reaction, and most people do, to allergenic foods such as wheat and gluten. We highly suggest adjusting your diet to eliminate all the top allergenic foods and we are confident you will see much improvement with your symptoms. For more information, please start with our Gut health quiz here: solvingleakygut.com

HI Maria, thanks for reaching out. Once your gut has healed, you may be able to deviate a small amount, but this is something you are going to have to test out on your own. Ideally, you will continue to eat from the your safe food zone to continue on the path of health.

Rhiannon, it has just been suggested that I may have Celiac Disease. I get a biopsy next week. After having a reaction to soy sauce, which I didn’t know had wheat in it, I decided to look-up Celiac so I could avoid those foods. I became terrified reading this article. This guy offers no new diet … it’s basically the same as a GF diet but presents “studies” which say we’re 77% more likely to develop cancer and to die before we’re old? Really? How is this at all helpful. I’m a little afraid, but really mad, too. I’m sure this guy has slanted results to sell his book.

Hi Jessica,
I relate to your comment. Right now you still are on the G-F diet but you are also doing something else? I’m kind of new at celiac and not sure I am clear about it all.
Thank you,
Frank
