Immunoglobulin G - Successful healing aids?

Hey!

I am curious if anyone here has personally or know someone who has used or currently use Immunoglobulins G  as an aid to support their healing journey. If so, how long did it take to get sustained benefit?

The reason for asking is because my gut never fully heals and I swing between progressing towards better health, only to regress again. These phases are cyclical and last for 3-12 months each way. It's been going on for years and I can't tip the scale into fully healing. 10 years now with histamine intolerance, sifo, probably sibo, etc. IGG supplement has had an incredible effect, but it never seem to last long term.

I know it is hard to quantify, since we're all different. I'd just like to get an idea how it has worked for other people.

Stay safe and be well :)

What IGG supplement do you mean? I've not heard of this in support of celiac disease, but am interested to find out more.

I recently stated using a probiotic called Bifidobacterium Infantis, which does have research that backs it up as something that can help people with celiac disease:

Others report that Thiamine supplementation is important, along with good B vitamin supplement, as well as vitamin D, Zinc and Magnesium Citrate.

So there are currently three which have been backed by evidence research. Dr. Michael Ruscio has designed one (intestinal repair formula), Microlabs has designed one which I ordered yesterday as it's shipped from UK vs US. There is one more I can't recall the name of.

Immunoglobulins regulates the immunesystem in the gut and helps rebuild the mucosal lining.

So for me, when I didn't heal at all, after 4 weeks my gut felt much better, and 6-8 like the puzzle pieces were re-arranged. All of the sudden the bloating, indigestion, cramps, diarrhea, etc all just vanished and I felt amazing. I felt better mentally too.

Another plus side; It helps breaking down biofilm and absorb toxins into bigger blocks so it doesn't leak into the bloodstream. It is quite expensive though which is the downside, and most medical professionals would rather put you on meds rather than this supplement.

Thanks :) I've used b.infatis myself, and I know it has an effect on gluten proteins to diffuse them. Causing less of a reaction IF we get CC'ed. My body sadly doesn't like probiotics.

Definitely. Not getting deficient in minerals and vitamins is a big key thing that is challenging as a celiac. To combat this I use elemental diet and Ruscio's supplement to stock up on missing minerals/vitamins. Vitamin D is a big one though! Lipsomal vit c and zinc bolster immunesystem too. I just find that if every other aspect is taken care of (diet, sleep, exercise, mental work, etc) then it was always IGG that pushed my health towards healing. So for anyone struggling when they've tried everything else... maybe look into IGG. There's one from bovines and one from eggs. So if you react to one the other might work.

      I am so scared of going to my doctor because she didn’t give me any information on my condition just saying remove gluten. I have a number of things that relate to coeliac disease but the doctor never picked up on it years ago when I was questioning my health.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 8 months ago. I have been on a gluten free diet since then but I am still struggling with symptoms.  My bones hurt all over my body, my hips and elbows especially. My arms are tingling a lot and feeling numb.

      Welcome to the forum, @StaciField! That is a question for a dental professional. But let's get some background info from you in relation to things we are more qualified to give input about. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? If so, are you consistent in gluten free eating?  If you haven't been checked for celiac disease, you certainly should be as mineral depletion of the bones is a common symptom of the condition. Celiac disease results in vitamin and mineral malabsorption.

      I had an ex ray yesterday and I was told that my bones in my jaw were broken and falling away. I have 2 front bottom teeth that are wiggling and I have to take them out. I am so scared of this as I have more broken teeth that I’m wanting removed. If I have them removed would I be able to get false teeth if I have a bone problem??

      Welcome to the forum, @ShRa! First of all, celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune disorder. That is, the ingestion of gluten triggers the body's immune system to attack it's own tissues, primarily the tissues that line the small intestine. This causes inflammation. This inflammation produces certain antibodies that can be detected by serum testing. Over time, the inflammation damages the lining of the small intestine and compromises the efficiency of nutrient absorption since the small intestine (aka, small bowel) is the part of the intestinal track where essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed. Gluten is a protein found in three grains: wheat, barley and rye. In people with celiac disease, the immune system mistakes gluten as an invader. Two factors have to be present to develop active celiac disease. The first is the genetic potential. Two genes (and their variants), HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, have been tied to celiac disease. About 40% of the population has 1 or both of these genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. That means there is a second factor that must come into play to turn the genes on such that they become active in producing celiac disease. This second factor is not well understood but it is thought to involve some kind of stress event. For example, a viral infection or other acute illness or even prolonged psychological/emotional distress. Apparently, for most with the genetic potential for celiac disease, this never happens. Your son has been diagnosed as a celiac via serum antibody testing. Normally, there is a second stage of testing involving an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to microscopically check for damage. This second stage procedure is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis but is sometimes dispensed with if the serum antibody scores are quite high. Your son's tTG Ab-IGA score apparently qualifies for this in your PCP's opinion. The "normal" IGA (aka, "total IGA") score simply means he is not IGA deficient and is not a test for celiac disease per se. In the case of IGA deficiency, the tTG Ab-IGA score can present as a false negative. Since his total IGA is normal this is not an issue. The other celiac antibody test done was the Gliadin DGP Ab IgA and it was normal. Do not be concerned that one antibody test was high positive and the other was normal. This is typical. The tTG Ab-IGA is the most important one and the one test most ordered by doctors when checking for celiac disease. One concern I have going forward is the instruction from your PCP to have your son stop eating gluten before he sees the specialist. If the specialist wants to do an endoscopy with biopsy and a good amount of time elapses before that procedure happens, going gluten free now might allow for enough healing of the small bowel lining to invalidate the biopsy results. Kids heal fast! I would consider holding off on going gluten free unless your son's health is clearly in immediate danger by not doing so. I am linking two articles that might be helpful in. One is an overview of celiac serum antibody testing. The other is a primer for getting a handle on eating gluten free.
