Hi does anyone have leaky gut syndrome due to celiacs or food allergies ?? I just found out i am allergic to cow's milk, eggs, soy and cain sugar. I may even be gluten intollerent but deffinately not allergic to wheat. Doing an elimimation diet just to make sure. Can anyone relate ?? Thx !

Yes!! That was my first diagnosis before deciding to eliminate gluten from my diet. My gut has been damaged from all of the gluten, to the point that large particles pass through the membranes of my intestines into my body, which is damaging to the immune system. I am currently staying off dairy as well, since I react strongly to that as well. Good luck with sorting out what to eat. There are alot of great resources here.

Finally, i found someone with the same situation !! How long have you been eliminating these foods out of your diet ?? It has only been two weeks for me. Wow, it is hard to create good dishes !! Slowly learning. Do you approx. know how long the gut takes to heal or start healing? I am also taking these mixed powder drinks ( from my dr.) and other suppliments to heal my small intestine. My whole situation started with arthritis leading to a lupus like disease. What is your situation? Thanks...

There's a pretty darn good chance that everyone w/ celiac disease has a leaky gut.
Those who go gluten-free in time seem to avoid the full leaky-gut syndrome symptoms.

One of the newest 'celiac pills' under testing, AT-1001, actually treats the leaky gut.

Leaky gut is often accompanied by candida or some other bacterial overgrowth in the gut. It would explain the problem w/ sugar.
