Celiac Krankheet huet vill ongeschwat schrecklech Wourechten ...
Ee vun hinnen ass dëst:Et dauert am Duerchschnëtt 4 Joer fir eng Celiac Krankheet Diagnos ze kréien, an d'Fuerschung weist dacks datt iwwer 2 Joer méi spéit déi meescht Patienten nach ëmmer net geheelt sinn an typesch leiden, obwuel se strikt glutenfräi iessen. diät. Dësen Artikel ass e Versuch dat z'änneren, fir Iech Är Kraaft zréck ze ginn an Iech tatsächlech ze hëllefen an e gesond Liewen zréckzekommen.
Dëse Guide gouf fir Iech geschriwwen, den diagnostizéierten Celiac Krankheet, fir z'erklären wat an Ärem Kierper geschitt, wat dat fir Är Zukunft bedeit, a wéi Dir vun dëser Krankheet heele kënnt.
Et ass geduecht fir d'Lücken auszefëllen, déi Ären Dokter Iech wahrscheinlech net gesot huet (a passt op ... et gi sou vill datt et bal kriminell ass).
Ech hunn dat geschriwwen, well de Jordan Reasoner, mäi beschte Frënd, 3 Joer huet misse kämpfen fir eng Diagnos ze kréien, an duerno krut hien nëmmen e klenge Pak, deen him seet eng glutenfräi Diät ze iessen an et wier okay.
Awer hien war net ...
Zwee Joer nodeems hien déi glutenfräi Diät mat kultähnlecher Strengheet gefollegt huet ... hie war nach méi no beim Stierwen. Et huet net fonctionnéiert an d'Dokteren hunn d'Hänn opgeworf a gesot:
"Dir fuddelen selbstverständlech op der Diät a mir kënnen Iech net méi hëllefen."
Leider ass dëst elo d'Norm an eisem aktuelle medizinesche System - ënnereducéiert an ënner-ressourcen Dokteren déi d'Patienten zouginn a falsch informéieren iwwer wat et tatsächlech brauch fir vun der Celiac Krankheet ze heelen a wat d'Risiken vun dëser Krankheet fir Äert Liewen bedeiten.
Awer et muss net esou sinn.
De Jordan ass elo geheelt a glécklech, a mir hunn zënter Dausende vun aneren Celiac Krankheet Affer gehollef, déi duerch deeselwechte Kampf gaang sinn - an hinnen gehollef hir Gesondheet ze recuperéieren grad wéi hien.
Awer ech sinn nach ëmmer rosen, also schreiwen ech dëst ...
Mäin Zil ass Iech ze hëllefen weider Péng ze vermeiden - Är Gesondheetsrisiken ze verstoen - a léiere wéi Dir zréck an en normalen gesonde Liewen kënnt wann Dir wielt.
Spoiler Alert! Eng aner schrecklech Wourecht déi meescht Leit mat Zöliakie entdecken ze spéit:d'glutenfräi Ernährung eleng ass net genuch fir ze heelen - méi Spezifizitéiten iwwer dëst méi spéit.
Dëse Guide ass all-inklusiv, dat heescht datt dëst Iech ongeféier 15 Minutten dauert fir ze liesen. A well ech net weess wéi gebilt Dir sidd, hu mir en Inhaltsverzeechnes zesummegesat fir datt Dir op déi wichtegst Deeler fir Iech sprange kënnt:

Conclusioun
Ech hoffen Dir wäert e Kommentar hannerloossen oder dëst mat aneren deelen - et ass eis Hoffnung datt mir d'Liewe vu ville kënne mat dësem Artikel retten.
Celiac Krankheet ass eng Autoimmunerkrankung déi Schied un den Dënndarm verursaacht, wat zu systemescher Entzündung, Nährstoffmalabsorptioun a vill aner bedeitend Gesondheetsprobleemer féiert. En Autoimmunzoustand ass en Zoustand an deem Ären Immunsystem duerchernee gëtt an amplaz auslännesch Eruewerer ze bekämpfen, fänkt en un Iech unzegräifen.
Deen Deel vum Dënndarm deen am meeschte beschiedegt gëtt ass normalerweis de Villi. Dëst si kleng shag Teppech-ähnlech Projektiounen am Dënndarm a si vital fir eis Gesondheet. Si erhéijen d'Uewerfläch vum Dënndarm, ginn Verdauungsenzyme of an hëllefen Nährstoffer ze sammelen an ze absorbéieren.
Wärend dem Fortschrëtt vun der Zöliakie ginn d'Villi vu vital Strécke op flaach a gebrach. Dëst ass schlecht Nouvelle fir eis Gesondheet.
Well et eng Autoimmunerkrankung ass, heescht dat datt et en Ausléiser oder Ëmweltsgrënn ass, deen d'Entzündung, d'Immun Dysregulatioun a spéider Probleemer erstellt.
Den Ëmweltausléiser fir Celiac Krankheet gëtt ugeholl datt et nëmmen Gluten ass, dofir ass et sou e Fokus op glutenfräie Liewensmëttel. Awer leider ass dëse Fokus op nëmmen Gluten déi meescht Celiacs schueden an, menger Meenung no, tatsächlech e puer vun hinnen ëmbréngen. Méi dozou méi spéit.
Eng aner schrecklech Wourecht vun der Celiac Krankheet ass datt wärend de Schued am Darm geschitt, nëmmen 40% vun de Kanner a 60% vun den Erwuessener mellen all Verdauungssymptomer.
Dëst ass ee vun de méi frustréierend Deeler vun der Celiac Krankheet - et kann Problemer iwwer eise Kierper verursaachen. Et gëtt ugeholl datt dëst ee vun de Grënn ass firwat déi grouss Majoritéit vun den Zellsiefer (83% - 97%) ondiagnostizéiert bleift.
Déi meescht Leit hu verschidde Problemer aus der Lëscht hei drënner - wéi vill hutt Dir?
Allgemeng Schëlder a Symptomer vun der Celiac Krankheet:
Wat wierklech traureg ass iwwer dës Lëscht ass d'Zuel vu Leit déi leiden. Eng 2012 Fuerschungsstudie schätzt datt ongeféier 0,71% vun den Amerikaner Celiac Krankheet hunn (3 Milliounen am Ganzen), dat heescht wann Dir oder een an Ärer Famill keen Celiac huet, deen Dir kennt.
Déi meescht Experten gleewen elo datt d'Zuel méi no bei 1% ass, wat ongeféier déiselwecht Prävalenz ass, déi ronderëm d'Welt fonnt gëtt, och Europa an Italien.
D'Risike fir Celiac Krankheet ze hunn stoppen net nëmme mat der Symptom Lëscht hei uewen. Denkt drun, e grousse Prozentsaz (bis zu 60%) gesinn net datt se krank sinn, wat grujeleg ass wann Dir kuckt wéi d'Zeliakie Iech fir vill aner Gesondheetsprobleemer opstellt.
Dacks gëtt et e puer gréisser Verweigerung wann se diagnostizéiert gi mat enger sérieuxer Krankheet wéi Celiac. An dat ass ganz normal, awer ech wëll Iech encouragéieren net ze laang ze waarden fir sérieux Handlung fir d'Heelung ze huelen.
Well wann Dir ignoréiert, verleegnen oder net Ären Heelungsfortschrëtt iwwerpréift, wäert Dir héchstwahrscheinlech ënnert enger (oder vill) vun dësen grujeleg Statistiken ophalen:
An anere Wierder, wann Dir e Symptom-gratis Celiac sidd an Är Laboe weisen Unzeeche vun Darm Entzündung ... Dir sidd ëmmer nach e wesentleche Risiko vu Gesondheetskomplikatiounen a fréien Doud.
Kuckt, ech probéieren dech net Angscht ze maachen, ech wëll just datt Dir e voll informéierte Patient sidd - déi Aart vu Patient, déi déi bescht Wiel fir hire Kierper a Liewen maache kann, net een deem seng Muecht an den Hänn vun engem Dokter ass (deen éierlech gesot net d'Zäit an d'Opmierksamkeet huet fir dës Zort vu Kraaft ze hunn fir unzefänken).
An et fänkt alles mat der (heiansdo brutaler) Realitéite vum Liewen un.
Awer maach der keng Suergen ... déi uewe genannte Szenarie mussen net Är Realitéit ginn ... Tatsächlech ginn ech Iech d'Schrëtt fir dës Statistiken ze vermeiden (wéi MÉI Celiacs), an amplaz richteg ze heelen.
Et ass net wéi wann Dir just enges Daags erwächt sidd an op eemol Zöliakie "gefänkt" hutt. Amplaz sidd Dir progressiv méi krank ginn an d'Quantitéit vum Schued an Ärem Kierper huet sech lues a lues opgebaut ...
Wat ass den Haaptunterschied tëscht Iech an deenen, déi u Glutenintoleranz leiden, oder wat och Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) genannt gëtt. D'Universitéit vu Maryland bericht de Moment ongeféier 18 Milliounen Amerikaner (6% vun der US Bevëlkerung) hunn dës Konditioun.
Wéi och ëmmer, dëst ass déi niddregst Schätzung vu betraffene Leit ...
Dr Alessio Fasano, Direkter vum Centre of Celiac Research, huet ëmmer erëm gesot,
"All Mënsch feelt d'Enzyme déi néideg sinn fir Gluten ofzebriechen."
An elo kommen nei Studien eraus, déi Mechanismen proposéieren fir dës Ausso z'ënnerstëtzen, dat heescht datt d'tatsächlech Zuel vu Leit mat Gluten-relatéierte Probleemer gutt an den 100's vu Millioune kéint sinn. Et ass derwäert ze notéieren datt just well et extrem schwéier ze verdauen ass, heescht net datt jiddereen e Glutenprobleem huet.
Déi mat Glutenintoleranz kënnen all déiselwecht Symptomer erliewen, déi hei uewen opgezielt sinn fir Celiacs, wéi Diarrho oder Verstopfung, Hives, Gehirniwwel, Bloat a Kappwéi.
Wéi Celiac Krankheet ass Glutenempfindlechkeet eng Bedingung an där den Immunsystem vu Gluten aktivéiert gëtt, wat Entzündung an Darmpermeabilitéit verursaacht. Awer d'Immunsystem attackéiert net d'Beleidegung vum Dënndarm, sou wéi et bei Celiac Krankheet ass.
Also, den Haaptunterschied tëscht Glutenintoleranz an Zöliakie ass an der Manéier wéi den Immunsystem op Gluten a Gliadin reagéiert. Awer loosst eis kloer sinn, a béide Fäll ass et eng Immunantwort op Weess.
D'Immunreaktioun vun enger NCGS Persoun ass net op de mënschleche Tissu geriicht ... et ass op den Ëmweltausléiser riicht.
Wéi och ëmmer, féierend Celiac Krankheet Experten, wéi den Dr Tom O'Bryan, gleewen datt Celiac Krankheet net wéi e Liichtschalter ass ... et schalt sech net nëmmen un oder aus. Si gleewen datt och déi mat NCGS e puer Immunzellen hunn déi mënschlecht Tissu attackéieren, awer op ze nidderegen Niveau fir eis aktuell medizinesch Tester z'entdecken.
An no Méint oder Joere vun dësem "rouege" Attack fänkt d'Immunantwort un a Schwéierkraaft ze wuessen, bis se endlech duerch eis aktuell Laboratoire Tester festgestallt gëtt.
Mat deem gesot, wann Dir Glutenintolerant sidd, ass d'Berodung vun dësem Artikel grad esou relevant fir Iech wéi et fir eng diagnostizéiert Celiac Krankheet Persoun ass.
Vill Celiacs ginn tatsächlech net mat voller Zöliakie diagnostizéiert bis méi spéit an hirem Liewen (20s, 30s, 40s, 50s an doriwwer eraus) ... wat faszinéierend an normalerweis konfus ass wann et alles geschitt. Zu dësem Zäitpunkt kënnen se sech froen ob se déi ganz Zäit Glutenintolerant waren?
Loosst eis entdecken wéi Celiac Krankheet sech entwéckelt a wéi eng Roll d'Glutenintoleranz dran spillt - wéi mir eis erënneren, ass den Ënnerscheed tëscht deenen zwee haaptsächlech a wéi dysreguléiert den Immunsystem ass.
Et ginn zwou Haaptsäiten vum Immunsystem - déi gebierteg an déi adaptiv. Jiddereen huet eng grouss Roll fir eis gesond ze halen.
An der Glutenempfindlechkeet gi béid geduecht fir Gluten an aner Molekülen aktiv unzegräifen, déi an Äre Bluttkrees kommen wéinst engem leaky Darm (méi iwwer wat dat méi spéit ass).
Bei Celiac Krankheet geet d'adaptiv Säit heem a fänkt un Är Darmzellen un ze attackéieren an ze denken datt se och auslännesch Moleküle sinn déi zerstéiert solle ginn. Dëst ass den Autoimmunkomponent vun der Krankheet.
A béid Glutenempfindlechkeet an Zöliakie gëtt de Schued an d'Onbequemlechkeet duerch Gluten gedriwwen an ze vermeiden ass kritesch fir Heelen. Awer et ass schwéier eppes ze vermeiden wat Dir net versteet. Mir musse wëssen wat genee Gluten ass a wéi mir kënnen et vermeiden.
Dir wësst dëst wahrscheinlech schonn, awer Gluten ass e Protein dat a Gerste, Roggen a Weess fonnt gëtt.
Hei ass wat Dir wahrscheinlech net wësst :Planzen wëllen net vun Iech giess ginn. Tatsächlech hunn se eng komplex Serie vu Verteidegungsmechanismen fir ze verhënneren datt Mënschen an aner Déieren se iessen.
Ee vun dëse Verteidegungsmechanismen sinn gëfteg Proteine, genannt Prolamine, déi an quasi all Getreide enthale sinn (glutenfräi oder net). A Gluten hält zoufälleg ee vun den gëftegsten Prolaminen - Gliadin - an et ass dëse Gliadin am Gluten deen de Schued verursaacht.
Gliadin entzündegt souguer den Darm vu gesonde Leit. Awer fir déi mat Glutenempfindlechkeet oder enger genetescher Prädisposition fir Celiac Krankheet, ass de Schued vill méi schlëmm.
Wann eng Persoun mat der Genetik fir Celiac Krankheet e Bagel, eng Schuel Nuddelen, oder soss eppes mat Gluten iesst, geschitt Schued op e puer Weeër:
D'Erhéijung vun Zonulin (a doraus resultéierend Erweiderung vun den enge Kräizungen) féiert zu der Entwécklung vun engem leaky Darm.
Et ass derwäert ze bemierken datt et tatsächlech op d'mannst 19 Ausléiser vu leaky Darm sinn - Gluten ass nëmmen ee vun hinnen.
Gratis Leaky Gut Presentatioun: Klickt hei fir déi 19 allgemeng Ausléiser vu leaky Darm ze léieren a wéi ee vun hinnen heelt.
Also, kuerz, Prolamine si Verteidegungsproteine, déi a Planzen fonnt ginn. Gluten ass nëmmen eng vu verschiddenen Aarte vu Prolaminen an enthält e speziell gëftegt Deel genannt Gliadin. Am Allgemengen, wärend Weess, Roggen a Gerste als déi schlëmmst Täter fir Celiacs ugeholl ginn, wann de Schued ugefaang huet, kann all Prolamin - egal ob aus engem Getreid oder Pseudograin - problematesch sinn.
Mat deem gesot, loosst eis schwätzen iwwer wéi Dir tatsächlech bestätegen datt Dir Celiac Krankheet hutt.
Et gëtt vill Duercherneen ronderëm d'Tester an d'Diagnostik vun der Celiac Krankheet a fir eng gutt Moossnam, dofir dauert et am Duerchschnëtt e Celiac 4 Joer fir déi richteg Diagnos ze kréien. Éierlech gesot, dëst ass pathetesch an direkt traureg. Ech gleewen datt d'Patienten dëse Prozess beschleunegen kënnen andeems se méi gebilt sinn wéi hir Dokteren iwwer dëst Thema.
Technesch gëtt eng Celiac Krankheet diagnostizéiert baséiert op histologescher Demonstratioun mat ënnerstëtzende Critèren, dat heescht datt et keen "perfekte" Test gëtt fir d'Krankheet ze diagnostizéieren.
What’s going on is doctors are looking for a specific amount of damage to your small intestine and backing it up with test results to confirm you have the risk factors for the disease.
In more simple terms, that means when gluten intolerance crosses a small-intestine-damage threshold and autoimmune risk factors are confirmed via lab tests or autoimmune markers are actually observed on your lab work… then you officially have the diagnosis of Celiac disease.
Since there’s so much confusion around the testing here…
Let’s break the tests into 3 categories:
1.) Supportive Tests – Typically, these are tests that that are the easiest and cheapest to run. They provide supporting evidence for risk of Celiac disease or Gluten sensitivity.
An example of a supportive test, would be getting a genetic test to check for Celiac disease genes. You can do a serum lab test or even 23andme.com testing to figure this out (meaning you don’t need to wait for your doctor to do this testing).
2.) Autoimmune Tests – These are tests used to check for and measure the level of immune system dysregulation going on in your body. There is a major drawback with these tests, though, you’ll need to have eaten gluten in the last 2-3 months to get an accurate result.
A blood test called a tTg-IgA test (Tissue Transglutaminase Test), which looks for antibodies in your blood towards gluten, is the oldest and cheapest test. However, this means there are some big drawbacks to it, including possibilities of false negatives and a positive result might mean you have something other than Celiac disease!
Bottom line for the tTg-IgA test: If you are positive or negative, it doesn’t mean you DO or DON’T have Celiac disease.
The most advanced blood test on the market, Cyrex Array 3, is the first one to check your immune reactivity to all parts of gluten, gliadin and other parts transglutaminase. This test, while still pretty new to the market, is the first of its kind to take a holistic approach in checking for wheat sensitivity. It’s currently the best option of the autoimmune tests.
3.) Damage Tests – These tests are the last step – they’re the most expensive and intrusive. However, at this time, in order to get an “official” Celiac diagnosis from a doctor, this test is the last piece of the puzzle.
It’s called an endoscopic biopsy (small intestine biopsy), and it’s where doctors actually go in and remove a part of your intestine and look at it under the microscope to check the damage. Hopefully, in the future, new testing will be developed that won’t be so invasive to the body.
In conclusion, the best approach for obtaining a proper diagnosis is to first get your genetics checked. Then, get a Cyrex Array 3. And if both are positive, get an endoscopic biopsy. If you get a positive test result from the endoscopy, it’s a big red flag you’ve had this condition for a long time and you’re likely going to need to take your healing process very seriously.
Feeling better after gluten removal isn’t enough to be diagnosed as Celiac, but it’s a really good sign that you’re AT LEAST gluten intolerant. And based on the several Cyrex Array 3 tests I’ve seen, you’d turn up plenty of positives there.
After you finally get your diagnosis, which will typically take you 4 years or longer, your conventional medical doctor will probably tell you this…
“Adopting a strict gluten-free diet is the only known treatment for those with gluten-related disorders.” – From the Celiac Disease Foundation
At first, just making this change seems so hard and sometimes impossible, especially giving up those treasured foods you may have grown up with. But the majority of Celiacs I’ve talked to finally make the change and begin to live the gluten-free lifestyle.
And they end up loving this new lifestyle because they feel so much better than before.
But most end up hitting a glass ceiling of healing. In other words, their really painful symptoms might decrease or mostly go away but they don’t get the energy, skin, hair, weight regulation and dependable brain and digestion they are really wanting.
And it’s NOT their fault or your fault.
You’re being told to follow a treatment that has abysmal results in actually healing Celiac disease.
I know, this is hard to believe but I’ll prove it with scientific studies in the next section.
After 2 years on the gluten-free diet, your chances of fully healing your intestines are between 8% and 34%.
2 years of effort for way worse than a coin’s flip chance at healing!
But it only gets worse…
The intestinal leakiness of Celiacs who’d been off gluten for 2 years was found to be 3x more leaky than controls .
WAIT! You might think, “What about those who get symptom-free on a gluten-free diet? Doesn’t that mean all is okay?”
No.
This study and this study looked at inflammation levels in “symptom-free” Celiacs and found significant amounts of inflammation, compared to control subjects.
And it gets even worse, 18 of 30 Celiacs who had been gluten free for 8-12 years, with biopsy-proven health, had poor vitamin status (malnourishment) .
In other words, the gluten-free diet can help you get symptom-free, even repair your villi (proven by biopsy), but it’s unlikely you’ll also repair leaky gut syndrome, reduce inflammation to normal amounts and replace lost nutrients from the malabsorption the disease causes.
It’s time to treat Celiac holistically and use strategies to address the known issues. Yes, you need to avoid the environmental trigger (gluten). But it’s clear that if that’s all you do… well, remember those scary associated conditions like brain, fertility and cancer?
…the Gluten free diet leaves you vulnerable to all of them.
In 2011, Celiac researcher and doctor, Alessio Fasano released his groundbreaking paper, “Leaky Gut and Autoimmune Diseases.” Fasano proposed that this autoimmune attack could actually be stopped!
This is really good news… because, up until this point, it was assumed that once the autoimmune process starts, it’s just going to continue attacking your body for the rest of your life.
But Fasano’s latest research, conducted over several years, has shown that it is indeed possible to stop the attack on the body’s own tissues and usually repair the damage that has happened (if it’s not too beat up).
Fasano’s Theory of Autoimmunity Development Requires 3 Factors:
According to Fasano, when all three of these factors are simultaneously present, autoimmunity develops. This means if you have Celiac or another autoimmune condition, you had to have a leaky gut at the time it started (and it’s likely you still might).
So, this theory finally explains how you could have the genetics for Celiac disease yet remained mostly healthy your whole life. And then BAM! You have a mid-life crisis at 46 that triggers leaky gut, you’re eating gluten and “all of a sudden”you have a full-blown autoimmune disease.
However, there is a silver lining to all of this!
If having a leaky gut is the final factor that allows autoimmune disease to develop, then autoimmune disease can be stopped and most people can heal the damage by fixing the intestinal permeability and removing the trigger (gluten).
This is a whole new way of thinking about Autoimmune disease – one that gives us the steps needed to actually heal the body, instead of becoming another untreated Celiac disease statistic.
It’s also why we now know that while removing gluten (the trigger) is the most important step… it’s not nearly enough to heal a leaky gut and stop the autoimmunity completely. There’s more work to be done before the process has been fully arrested.
Now can you see why the gluten-free diet as the “only treatment” for Celiac disease is just silly?
Here are the 4 steps you need to focus on to actually heal the destruction from Celiac disease. This plan actually takes into account all four of the problems shown in the research to be plaguing Celiac suffers.
This is the plan to heal a leaky gut and reverse the damage from years of untreated Celiac disease…
And it starts with removing gluten from your life. This is still a must!
Step 1 – Remove Gluten (from all food, products, etc.)
It’s time to throw away all the packaged or processed foods in your kitchen that don’t have a gluten-free label on them. There’s no reason to keep any old flour or foods, period. Don’t leave any room for temptation.
You also need to read the labels on any product you put on your skin – shampoo, moisturizer, lotion, chapstick, etc. Ideally, it’s best to think of your skin as a giant extension of your tongue and don’t put anything on it you wouldn’t eat! So, verify that all these products are gluten-free as well.
Next, take a close look at your kitchen hygiene. If there are gluten eaters in the house, you cannot use their non-stick pans (don’t use them, they are toxic), cutting boards, or kitchen utensils. It’s even best to avoid using the same counters. Yes, that is kind of dramatic feeling. But the truth is even trace amounts of gluten can harm you. And if you can’t be safe at home, where you are in control, where can you be?
When you do eat out, don’t be shy about letting your server know of the severity of your condition. To be fully prepared, it’s best to call ahead and verify they can guarantee no cross-contamination. If they can’t guarantee it, there’s a good chance that sooner or later they will serve you some gluten. Here’s a guide to help you eat out gluten-free.
Step 2 – Add Nutritious Foods
It’s clear, from the research, that you need more nutrients than most people and you need to do everything in your power to reduce inflammation.
And this means it’s time to add in some highly-nutritious foods to help replenish the nutrient depletions in your body and give it what it needs to heal. (It costs a lot of nutrients to heal!)
At the same time, these foods will be extremely anti-inflammatory.
It’s a double-whammy move to help you heal.
This means you’ll need to eat A LOT more meat and seafood. It means eating more vegetables, fruits, and naturally starchy foods (sweet potato, white potato, white rice, etc). It means eating more healthy fats, like avocado and coconut products.
And it means eliminating all grains and pseudograins (even “gluten-free” grains, like corn and oats). Firwat? Because these foods have their own “gluten-like” prolamins that wreak havoc in inflamed and damaged guts.
In order to make room for all these new unprocessed and delicious foods, you’ll be eating very little processed gluten-free foods, which will actually save you a bunch of money.
In our experience, the stricter you are to adhering to these rules, the faster you’re likely to heal and feel better.
Step 3 – Heal the Leaky Gut
While cutting out gluten is a pretty straightforward proposal, healing a leaky gut is more complex.
There are endless free tips online on how to heal your leaky gut (some of them are good but many are actually pretty bad), which is why we hired 3 researchers to look at the most current studies and help us figure out the best way to actually do it.
Then, we took these protocols and put them into practice and have seen nothing short of amazing results in 1000’s of people.
One of the first steps to heal a leaky gut is to avoid grains and pseudograins, the ones I told you about in the previous section. Eating the diet above is ideal for healing it.
Next up, you’ll want to try some proven gut-healing supplements, like L-Glutamine. It’s been shown to heal your intestinal mucosa and reduce leaky gut. Start at 2.5 g morning and evening and work up to 20 g morning and night, over two weeks. (Read our complete recommendations on L-Glutamine Do’s and Don’ts.)
With that said, there are 19 triggers of leaky gut and many other helpful supplements out there.
Step 4 – Improve Inflammatory Lifestyles
The last step is used to reduce your inflammation and heal your leaky gut. And it’s all about your lifestyle.
Many Celiacs are unknowingly choosing a lifestyle that creates disease. This includes doing things like going to the gym every day, training for and running marathons, CrossFitting 5 times a week, sleeping less than 7 hours a day, using caffeine after noon, and drinking excess alcohol each night.
Each of these behaviors creates more inflammation and contributes to leaky gut syndrome.
No, don’t freak out! I still want you to work out and exercise, just less strenuously until you’re in better health. I don’t believe that coffee is really bad, but it surely is after noon because it messes up sleep cycles. And I don’t think wine or alcohol is necessarily toxic, but drinking more than one day a week is definitely hurting your gut.
Look, you’re changing your diet, you’re healing your leaky gut, it’s time to take this seriously and that includes cutting out lifestyle habits that are harming you.
Okay, so if you made it this far, you’ll likely be better educated than your doctor on your disease (which is impressive).
Let’s review the important take-home points:
You are now armed with the basic information to really handle and overcome Celiac disease. I hope you share this with others you know who are affected. And let us know in the comments what your number one takeaway from this article is.
