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.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By eKatherine · Posted

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Liamclarke · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac and basically had stunted growth because my body wasn’t taking In nutrients which may explain the weight loss I would take this seriously and get tested
