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.

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.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Sandi20 · Posted

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in the composition of wheat, including higher gluten content to improve baking qualities. While NCGS was formally recognized as a condition in the 2010s (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-10-13 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820047/) , it’s important to note that the awareness and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders have evolved over time. Some researchers suggest that modern wheat breeding practices, along with changes in food processing and gut health, may contribute to the rise in gluten sensitivity. However, the exact mechanisms behind NCGS are still not fully understood, and it remains a debated topic in the scientific community. It’s also worth considering that increased awareness and improved diagnostic tools have played a role in identifying conditions like NCGS that may have existed but were previously unrecognized. The interplay between genetic, environmental, and dietary factors makes this a complex issue, and more research is needed to fully understand the connections.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.
