In my reading journey I came across this chapter on line from a published book which I thought gave a very good description of leaky gut syndrome that I thought I would share with those interested:

Leaky Gut Syndrome: The Systemic Consequences of Faulty Digestion

Articles - Leaky Gut Syndrome Articles

By Elizabeth Lipski, PhD, CCN

(Chapter taken from Digestive Wellness, 3rd Edition McGraw Hill)

"The gut is a major, potential portal of entry into the body for foreign antigens. Only its intact mucosal barrier protects the body from foreign antigen entry and systemic exposure."

--Russell Jaffe, M. D., ELISA/ACT Clinical Update 2, No. 1 (January 1992).

That is a fantastic article. Thank you for posting. Now I wish I could find a health care professional who actually understands how to test for and treat food sensitivities! I am going to bring this to my next appointment.

It seems sort of like it's been abridged. And while I agree it's a good description of the basic condition, the constant shilling of products (OTC tests, natural products, etc.) reduces my overall rating of the website.

Also, I don't know that all the authors statements have been fully backed up in terms of connections to other diseases. Some of my reading may be out of date, though.

I wasn't intending for this to be taken as a definitive scholarly article, merely as a good description for newbies especially of the condition and how the transportation works and why it causes us so many problems. As for the advertising, I guess I am pretty much immune to it, but it's how even Scott pays his bills ;)

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
