My Doctor Hadn't Even Heard Of Leaky Gut!

Why do I feel like my reality just gets invalidated over and over again. I wish these doctors would expand their thinking/knowledge base into the 21st century. It's so hard to work with. So I play the docile patient and go to the rheumatologist for no good reason in case I need some support from the system in case I get really sick. I know that they can't do anything for me except to stress my stressed system with more drugs.

I feel like I just screamed into a vacuum and no-one can hear me. Am I just imagining all of this or is it really happening.

That's frustrating.  I am often glad that I have my own brain.   I always like to get to the root of the problem, but discovered years back that most doctors don't.  I hope you can really work away at the roots of your problems, but mostly that you GET BETTER.

Thank you Diana. That's what I'm trying to do.

Your doctor hasn't heard of leaky gut? That's bologna! It may be he/she doesn't believe it has been proven within certain guidelines but you can't be in medicine today and not have heard of it. To a certain extent the gut is designed to leak, it's one way nutrients get from inside the gut to the rest of the body. Inflammation of the gut allows larger particles and unhealthy other stuff to cross between cells in the same way as fluids, bacteria and toxins. Malabsorption is a wide group of diseases that must be understood before getting any medical degree.

What you have is a passive aggressive doctor telling you to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain pulling the levers and strings. Listen to the Great and Powerful, the All Knowing RheumOztologist blowing smoke up whatever you might have handy.

Sorry to be blunt but I call BS on that.

      Enegy level extremely low

      Hello Scott, I did lose weight at the beginning of diagnosis and I know that it will take time to put on the weight I did lose. I think I have no appetite because this has been a roller coaster of emotions and a Big change on my body and its out of whack mentally and pysically. I think I am just depressed to be honest.

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      It's easy to forget that it's not only the concentration of gluten in a given food item that's significant but also the total amount of gluten we consume over a period of time. This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi! I try to steer clear of dairy and I cut out oats at the same time I did gluten products. It may be that something I had recently that was labeled as gluten-free contained oats. I am just so confused as to why I didn’t react when I know I ate wheat flour (breaded fries) but then reacted to something else 9 days later. Maybe you’re right and that it was...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi, I’m brand new to this website but I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I am just now getting over a particularly bad flare up that lasted a full 7 days. I’ve been trying to figure out what caused it and all I can think of is I know I accidentally ate gluten (specifically wheat flour) 9 days before my symptoms started. Could it have taken 9 days for my ...

This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative effect because our bodies aren't given enough time to clear the gluten we have already consumed. Just curious. Did you know the fries were wheat breaded when you ate them?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been using that was once gluten free is no more. Companies can and do change their formulations over time so it may be wise to take inventory of what is in your cupboard and what your are purchasing and check closely the ingredient labels and the allergen statements. It is also possible that the reaction you mention is caused by something else that resembles a gluten reaction. Are you still consuming oats and dairy?
