Hi, I am new here. I don't know if this is the right group to ask this question or not.  I am wondering if any of you have been put on Low Dose Naltrexone to help you with your celiacs?  If so has it helped and what dose do you use?

Why would you get that for Celiac?  What other issues do you have that this may actually be for? Have you actually given a gluten free diet a fair chance?  Why take meds if a diet change will do the trick?

OH wow, yeah that would, make you get on the gluten free diet easier, many of us talk about gluten withdrawal, and have a hard time changing out diet. Some articles talk about gluten and dairy having a opiate like effect....Naltrexone, is a drug used to help break opiate addiction so I can see this making the transition and acceptance of the new diet easier. But in all honestly the only treatment for this disease is a strict gluten free diet.

Do read the newbie 101 thread and see about taking on the diet you need to treat this disease if you were diagnosed.
I do have a list of foods for treats, and safe alternatives to make life simpler.

Thank you!  I am on LDN for MCTD and just wondered if it would help me in any other way.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
