Intestine healing


EdenLaShae

Recommended Posts

EdenLaShae Newbie

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.

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.

Oh wow, ok! I’ll definitely give that a try , thank you so much!

      Fascinating. No ingredient in Dr. Reddy's Sumatriptan SUCC 100 mg has gluten, or should have gluten. But the doctor said ask the pharmacist. The pharmacist said call the manufacturer. And the manufacturer said "it contains gluten." 
    • Scott Adams
      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      This is much later than these posts, but on April 29, 2025, I called Dr. Reddy's Labs about Sumatriptan SUCC 100 mg tablets and were told that they DO contain gluten.

      My heart went into A-Fib following my recovery from Covid. It is now known that Covid is a catalyst for Long Haulers syndrome.  In Dec 2022 I missed the last booster until I was already incubating COVID. Became ill 5 days after the shot. I thought I was completely well 10 / 12 days later, felt great. Then collapsed on Feb 17, 2023 as my formerly perfect heart went into A-fib. This was the kickoff to so called Long Covid and a host of accompanying symptoms. A week prior to becoming ill, I had completed heart tests that showed my now damaged heart was in perfect condition.  Now I visit the cardiologist every 6 months as well as my endocrinologist who tests me every 3 months.  Because of this I'm on Flecainide every 12 hours and will be for life.  Fortunately, it's a very safe drug.
