Re: OT: Thanks and new question

[Guest guest]

I think that as you heal the leaky gut, then alot of the food intolerances go

away. Three years ago my son was intoleratant to about 15 foods, including

gluten and casein. Now he's only intoleratant to dairy products from cows (goat

dairy products are no problems) and pineapple.

Having said that, I doubt that we'll ever go back to eating gluten. It produces

zonulin, which contributes to a leaky gut. Now that his gut is healing good, Im

simply dont want to risk it.

sometimes outgrown, but wondered about this one.

My son did not " outgrow " his food issues, but chelation and several supplements

allowed his body to heal. At the beginning of biomedical, when he was 3yo, he

tolerated no foods. After chelation and several supplements, now he can eat

anything he wants, without enzymes, without yeast overgrowth, without problems.

So it was a lot of work for my son, but he can now eat everything.

Well said Dana- I do not think people generally " outgrow " food issues, but I

know that at least sometimes they can heal from them. My son used to be so

sensitive to dairy that I couldn't wash dishes together if one had touched

dairy. After doing the GAPS diet we healed so much that he can have dairy now,

even the junky pasteurized cow's milk from the store. I lost my almost lifelong

IgE dairy allergy. We lost our formerly intense sensitivity to high histamine

foods. We can tolerate traces of gluten (it used to be that my son would have 6

awful week if he got 1 molecule, I swear). It's all about healing the gut like

Dana said. For us, GAPS was basically miraculous in this way.

I also agree with the person who said they are not going back to gluten. I am

more and more convinced that gluten isn't food for humans. Actually, we will

never really go back to grains much aside from a treat every now and then. It's

not just gluten that contributes to a leaky gut- grains are awful in this way.

Humans did not evolve eating them.
