Guest guest Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi Ronnie, Quite a few of us are on gluten-free diets. Both candida and LD can contribute to gluten-intolerance. Many food allergies are due to leaky-gut issues, while some people have a genetic tendency to celiac disease. Ingesting gluten when you are gluten-intolerant can cause all kinds of problems, similar to LD! I was on a gluten-free diet early in life and taken off of it--the belief in the 1940's was that most children outgrew their food allergies by the time they were 5. I was re-diagnosed gluten-intolerant (through a blood test) about 5 years ago. By that time it appears the damage to my digestive system was irreversable--at least it has not improved. But at least it is not getting any worse! I really like LIVING WITHOUT magazine. Every issue has a lot of good information and advice, a list of other resources, and information about substitutions to use in converting conventional recipes, besides interesting articles and always lots of recipes. Many of the recipes are also dairy free. All the recipes and quite a bit of information are available on their website: livingwithout.com You can also google gluten-intolerance and celiac disease. You will have to become a compulsive label reader and be very sceptical of marketing! For instance, sprouted grains are not gluten-free, and neither is spelt, although people with simple wheat allergy are sometimes able to eat them. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yes, I am another one on gluten-free. I follow that very strictly. It helped a lot with inflammation but is still not adequate restriction for me. After 15 months strict gluten free, I was still very poorly absorbing and lacked many nutrients--as if I wasn't eating much. (My diet is now much more restricted) It is hard to know if it is due to damage that cannot or hasn't been repaired. I know one recovered lyme patient who was able to return to eating gluten. I don't expect that to happen to me. I have a double gene and the highest risk for celiac. Sherry > > > > > > Has anyone tried a gulten free diet? Was it successful?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sherry, I too am on a very strict and limited diet, again. My 1st cousin was tested and has the double gene too....for celiac! I do know gluten was never tolerated well with either my son or I. Dairy either....if not worse! I do not know where this plays out for long -term but for now the diet is agreeing with me and I do feel much better following it. How much nutrients are being absorbed? Good question....I know at least for my son it has to be poor as he is very small and doesn't grow well. Jodie L. > > > > > > Has anyone tried a gulten free diet? Was it successful?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I read, (in an article in LIVING WITHOUT), that if you go gluten-free after age 60 it is unlikely the damage will be repaired. But if you're younger, you have a very good chance of having your GI tract recover--it just takes a while. Khaya > > > > > > > > Has anyone tried a gulten free diet? Was it successful?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I wish I could say the same! But there are some advantages to being " mature " . : ) > > > > I read, (in an article in LIVING WITHOUT), that if you go gluten-free after age 60 it is unlikely the damage will be repaired.
