I wouldn't do it when it was suggested to me (preDx when I was very ill and no one could figure it out.) I read a lot about it and determined it was not a great idea.

I know others will say it is. You asked for thoughts and these are mine.

Just curious....

Why would you want to purposefully disrupt the natural good gut flora you are trying to repopulate ? :blink:

The human body naturally removes waste material.

Are you impacted with stool or something?? :blink:

If so, HYDRATE--the right way---drink the water :lol: and take probiotics and eat more foods with fiber.

If you are not preparing for a colonoscopy, I can think of no good reason to "wipe down " the lining of the intestines.

Just my humble opinion. :) I have worked so hard to get my gut to calm down and this is the LAST thing that I would do.

My acupuncturist wanted me to do this also before I was diagnosed. I passed. I agree with the previous poster I do not think they benefit us.

I agree with the above. If everything is working, I let it be. If it isn't, then I need more water, apples, and yogurt!

I hve to agree with the above posts, I don't think a colon cleanse is natural and it disrupts what is already trying to neutralize itself, why make it barren and flora free? Just my opinion though

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
