Question about which gut repair supplement to take?

So I've decided it's time to go on some supplements to help with the healing. Obviously the diet is still vital, but I want to do everything I can at this point. 

I was looking at products similar to this at Amazon 

https://www.amazon.com/Metagenics-Glutagenics-Supplement-9-16-Ounce/dp/B005P0VE7I/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=glutagenics&qid=1622714303&sr=8-5

 

I also have a family friend who has a background in integrative and holistic treatment on nutrition and she recommended this one to me.

I've seen in various forums that L-Glutamine is a very good thing to help heal your gut. I noticed the first option has a stronger dosage of it. I was just curious if anyone is familiar with these supplements and might have an idea of which one is better to take.

The villi (cells lining the small intestine) are not permanently damaged in celiac disease. In fact, the cells in the intestinal wall regenerate every 72 hours as long as they are not being exposed to gluten.

      Months of diarrhea - Testing question

      By MichelleGrant · Posted

      Thanks for your thoughtful response. I got the blood test today, which was a full celiac serology. I'm not going to hold my breath over the blood test showing anything up, but you never know. I get the results Friday next week. For the next week I'm going to enjoy feeling well as I eat gluten free. My energy is still lagging a bit, but my gut is feeling so much better. I live in Australia where its very easy to eat gluten free. I'm absolutely dreading potentially doing the 6-week gluten challenge and the damage it will do to my insides. Is it worth it? I'm not sure. But long term I'll be strict with cross-contamination/ soy sauce/ tiny amounts if I know its actually celiac disease and not a bad intolerance.

      those are spring roll wrappers and will not work for true egg rolls; they kept  fall apart.  But thank you for your reply.

      Swollen Lymph Nodes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience with a persistently swollen lymph node is understandable, especially given your autoimmune diagnosis. It’s reassuring that the ultrasound showed no suspicious features and your doctor attributes it to your autoimmune condition—this is actually quite common. Many people with autoimmune disorders (like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus) report swollen lymph nodes as their immune system remains in a heightened state of activity. Since your node hasn’t changed significantly in years and imaging supports its benign nature, cancer is unlikely, but your concern is valid. If the node grows, becomes painful, or develops other worrisome changes (like hardness or irregular shape), pushing for a biopsy would be reasonable. However, given your stable history and medical reassurance, monitoring it may be the best approach for now. That said, if anxiety persists, discussing a biopsy with your doctor for absolute peace of mind is never wrong—your comfort matters too. Others in autoimmune communities often share similar stories of "reactive" nodes that linger indefinitely, so you’re not alone. Trust your instincts, but also take comfort in the ultrasound results and your overall stability since diagnosis. Keep your doctor updated if anything shifts!
