Hello everyone. I was advised to go gluten free by my health provider to help with inflammation, gut health, and autoimmunity. So here I am. Looking forward to giving/getting support and learning.

I was just told by my provider I have leaky gut. I'm about to embark on this journey. I'm supposed to go gluten free, eat anti-inflammatory foods, and she's starting me on a couple of supplements for now.  Anyone been through this,  and bonus if it's been working with integrative medicine.

Welcome to the forum, @JBeth! Have you been officially diagnosed with either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celaic Gluten Sensitivity)?

I ordered some herbal remedies (from a Phyto Therapist) to treat my leaky gut/celiac. Will let the Group know if it has worked in 6 weeks. 🙏

I believe leaky gut syndrome is part and parcel withe celiac disease rather than a separate condition. Here is an interesting article on leaky gut: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22724-leaky-gut-syndrome

May times scientists cannot find a cause for  i.e. leaky gut, because they do not consider lifestyle. Medicine can only relieve symptoms, but 80% of the causes are lifestyle and our own responsibility. We remain ignorant of what choices we make and do not take some resonsibility for our diseases. Hippocrates said something like :  let food be your medicine and not medicine your food?

Yes, the quote attributed to Hippocrates is often rendered as "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This statement reflects the idea that a healthy diet can be a fundamental part of maintaining good health and preventing disease, rather than relying solely on medicines. While the exact phrasing may vary, the essence of the message emphasizes the importance of nutrition in health care.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
