Intestine healing

Hey there! I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease about six months ago, but I’m still having bm trouble that I’m assuming is due to my intestine. My bowel movements are just very frequent, like usually after I eat, which is like 3-4 times a day and they are very loose. I was wondering if anyone had any tips to heal my intestine any faster. I’ve heard a lot of people return to normal bowel habits after a month or two, so I’m starting to get worried. Is there anything I can take to help? Like a probiotic? I don’t think I’m somehow still digesting gluten but anything’s possible. Thank you! Have a nice day

Probiotics are helpful, and I use this one because it contains Bifidobacterium Infantis, and lots of research has been done on this in connection with celiac disease:

Double check your diet and make sure you are not getting any hidden gluten, and note that the average time to recovery for celiacs is two years.

Hi EdenLaShae!

Have you checked for gluten in non food sources? Have you checked your toothpaste, soaps, detergents, shampoo, lotions, cosmetics, medications, or any pet food you may come in contact with? Gluten seems to be everywhere. 

Are you eating any processed food? If so, look for certified gluten free labels, and check the ingredients list. In the USA, food can contain up to 20 ppm of gluten and still be labeled as gluten free. 

Have you eliminated milk products and oats? They are often problematic for those of us with celiac disease. Especially while healing our guts. Sometimes these things can be added back in later, and sometimes they can't.

I hope this helps! Keep us posted!

I actually haven’t checked any of my toothpaste and stuff, I’ll look into that! Thank you so much for your feedback!

You are very welcome! @Scott Adams mentioned a website awhile back that has been very helpful for me when checking for gluten in medication.

Eden,

You might want to cut out Lactose (Casein Really) for 6 months to see if it doesn't help your loose stools.

Here is a thread about it entitled "Is Lactose Intolerance, In Part, responsible for Refractory Celiac Disease"

You might also take some Tryptophan, Thiamine and Niacinamide.

Here is the research on how Tryptophan can help Intestioanl Healing in Celiac's.

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20201022/Tryptophan-found-in-turkeys-can-accelerate-intestinal-healing-in-people-with-celiac-disease.aspx

You might also read this thread on how Low/NO Stomach is common in Celiacs.

We react to proteins in our diet when get TOO Low in Stomach Acid.

Try treating your Low Stomach Acid going misdiagnosed/undiagnosed and I think you will happy with your results.

Here is my Posterboy Open Letter about it to the Many GI Sufferers still suffering....

Maybe it will help you to read it....

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Posterboy,

Hi, it took me about 6 months to just begin to feel a bit better. Probiotics do help. I took Maalox for while given to me at the hospital. However the main thing I contribute to healing my intestines is having a cup of beef bone broth daily for several months. Then I had it sparingly. Depending on how severe your symptoms have been. It can take a long time to feel normal and recover from all the weight loss and even cognitive brain fog. Having to be hyper aware of all the food and even products and seasonings you use can cause a lot of anxiety but it’s worth getting all the gluten out. Once you get into a routine, you’ll become more comfortable and secure in what you eat. Again, I highly recommend making your own bone broth.

      Implications of glutening after repairing villi

      By RMJ · Posted

      It will not undo all of the healing.  If it did, diagnosis of celiac disease would be much easier!  To have enough damage to see on an endoscopy requires several weeks of gluten ingestion.

      Implications of glutening after repairing villi

      By Jean Shifrin · Posted

      HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back to square one? Thanks.

      Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Hydrolyzed wheat is wheat protein that has been broken down into smaller components through a chemical or enzymatic process called hydrolysis. This ingredient can be found in various products, including cosmetics, personal care items, and some food products. For people with celiac disease, hydrolyzed wheat is generally not safe to consume because it still contains gluten proteins, even in its broken-down form. Though hydrolysis reduces the size of these proteins, it doesn’t fully remove the components that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. In food products, hydrolyzed wheat protein still poses a risk and should be avoided. With regard to the McDonald's French fries, the total amount of hydrolyzed wheat in the flavoring is small, and the amount that ends up in an order of fries is even smaller, and likely below 20ppm. McDonald’s states that the fries are gluten-free by ingredient and free from cross-contact with gluten-containing foods in their dedicated fryers. Third-party tests and statements by McDonald's confirm gluten levels are below the FDA threshold for gluten-free labeling (20 parts per million or less). So, while McDonald’s USA fries may be gluten-free based on testing, some people with celiac disease still approach them cautiously due to the past concerns and individual sensitivities.

      Is McDonald's Safe for Gluten-Free Orders?

      Here is an excerpt from this article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82695:   Studies have shown that various peptidases of fungal, plant, animal, or bacterial origin are able to hydrolyze gluten into harmless peptides. According to SDS‐PAGE pattern, proteolytic enzymes hydrolyze gliadins (Heredia‐Sandoval et al., 2016; Scherf et al., 2018; Socha et al., 2019; Wei et al., 2018, 2020). Bacterial peptidase (Krishnareddy & Green, 2017), fungal peptidase (Koning et al., 2005), and prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) (Amador et al., 2019; Janssen et al., 2015; Kerpes et al., 2016; Mamo & Assefa, 2018) thoroughly degrade gliadin fractions to decrease gluten concentration and influence celiac disease. Aspergillus niger derived PEP (AN‐PEP) were assessed in clinical cases for their impact on modifying immune responses to gluten in celiac patients (Lähdeaho et al., 2014). Guerdrum and Bamforth (2012) reported that PEP addition in brewing technology decreased the prolamin and all of the identified immunopathogenic gluten epitopes in beer production (Akeroyd et al., 2016). On the contrary, many of the recent investigations which employed enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), mass spectrometry, and Western blot analysis reported that PEP did not thoroughly destroy the whole gluten proteins (Allred et al., 2017; Colgrave et al., 2017; Fiedler et al., 2018; Panda et al., 2015), which indicates that beers treated with PEP are not safe for celiac disease patients. Anecdotally, this excerpt supports what we hear from the celiac community on this forum with regard to "gluten free" hydrolyzed wheat products and that is that some still react to them while many don't.

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back. The real issue though, is that you still could increase your risk of various related diseases and disorders by eating gluten, but again, celiac disease remission has not been studies enough to know what health risks you might face.
