Activated Charcoal and Celiac Disease

My adult daughter has Coeliac disease and although she can control her condition at home she is sometimes glutoned inadvertently (as she calls it when gluten has somehow entered her system) when she is eating out. She takes a 1/4 teaspoon of AC in a small glass of water when she gets home and it greatly reduces her symptoms. This may not work for everybody but it certainly works for her. It does of course depend on how much gluton she has ingested. Before taking AC it should be noted that AC can interfere with other medications if taken within 2 hours of ingestion.

What helped me tremendously to stop diarrhea and calm my intestines was the eating protocol by Elaine Gottschall in the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet (I have no connections or financial interests). Her theory is that some enzymes are missing in celiacs, and we therefore can't split up complex sugars. These sugars then stay in the intestines and form a breeding ground for bad bacteria and fungus. She gives lists of what to eat and recipes and also what not to eat. And part of her protocol is 24-hour yogurt.

There is also a list of these foods here:

I would recommend to get the book from the library and to take a look. I started to do it in 2014 and did it for 2 years. After that I was able to eat some of the "illegal" things (but gluten free) without problems. I still mostly stick to this plan, simply because feel really well when I eat this way.

I found this information on page 48 of the book "Miracle Food Cures from the Bible" by Reese Dubin. It states..".Celiac disease is a chronic intestinal disorder in which the body cannot tolerate gluten, an elastic protein substance found in bread dough, resulting in diarrhea. DATES contain protein carbohydrate complexes and mineral salts that halt this reaction to gluten, according to one expert. FIGS, another popular Bible food, work in a similar way." I have found this to be true for myself.

For me, it only takes one date and I can eat any product with gluten and not have a reaction! I wasn't actually expecting it to work, but was pleasantly surprised. Hope it works for everyone else as well!

Garlic CURED my celiac disease.

Raw garlic often, mostly before bed to lessen social effects of the smell.

Liquid Bandaid Seems to Be Helping Dermatitis Herpetiformis

I've had Celiac Disease expressed now approx.15 years.

5 days ago I had a insect bite, or spider bite on my chin, of so I thought. Self diagnosis is Dermatitis Herpetiformis. It became a deep, painful wound, swollen, red with a thick scab. Then more "bites" sneakily appearing. I became aware that these also were the beginning of DH. Using the product liquid bandage, a couple of brush strokes on each spot as they appeared quickly got them under control (no scab, no itching! ) within 24 hours. The first big red sore original one I did the same. Once the smaller ones were no longer slightly raised or pink, I knew that they were no longer active.

So far I am winning except for the "master" scab which will take a few weeks I am learning. Feeling in control today anyways!

I know someone who has successfully treated a celliac patient with a method called IPEC which has been developped in Israel and the US. I think you can be treated from distance as well (skype). I have used the method for various ailments and for me it has worked wonderfully. I believe it is not only a matter of method but of practitioner. Best wishes for a better health.

Heritage Wheat for Celiac

Al (Alvena, Sk., Canada) on 09/16/2012

While thinking my wife had a wheat allergy due to red spots on skin/itchiness I was looking for a wheat flour that was 100% whole grain to get more fiber in my diet to help relieve constipation due to narcotic pain killers I located a flour made from RED FIFE wheat at a local organic farmer. He told me that celiac's were able to eat it due to the different glielin composition in the gluten. Shortly after my wife was diagnosed with celiac disease and when I finally convinced her to try eating this flour once she had no reaction to it and started using it regularly. Six months later she was retested and found to no longer have celiac disease. I informed the organic farmer of this and he then explained that the varieties of wheat grown now are modified for production and protein content and that they are actually causing celiac disease. He is now also growing MARQUIS wheat which has better baking qualities but has the same glielins as RED FIFE wheat. Those of you with celiac disease that would like to try it and can't find a source may email me at gustafsonal(at)hotmail.com and I will send you the contact information for this farmer. Al

When I eat wheat I get a stomach ache, and gradually a headache. Drinking half a carton of heavy whipping cream makes the pain go away.

So does psyllium fiber supplement mixed in water (1 or 2 teaspoons in a large glass of water). Psyllium also works if I feel fatigued and foggy headed after I eat something.

Sometimes eating fresh ginger, maybe an inch cube, makes the headache go away.

Gluten Sensitivity

This is a wonderful website I found. Thanks to all wonderful people who is posting here and helping each other.

Erosion of Stomach/Intestine Digestion

Anonymous (USA) on 08/12/2010

Somewhere I read that the small intestine or stomache is responsible for digesting proteins, and that proteins can create problems if they pass through undigested. Suppose an individual drinks a lot of coffee on an empty-ish stomache, maybe takes a few aspirin at the same time. This would probably be very acidic and erode the stomache and intestines. Now the person's body tries to counter the acidity, but over time is less able due to a diminished ability to digest and absorb food. The body begins stealing what it needs to stay alive from it's members, perhaps the intestines, joints, bones, etc. It might look similar to an auto-imune disease. Add in improperly digested protein, it sneaks through the holes in the intestine and accumulates or is used in the brain? Just a supposition..... Celiac may be inherited, but so is diet to some degree. Also alcoholism, etc. Also, taking coffee and aspirin together causes an extreme increase in energy, but appears to be very destructive to the system, don't do it.

Gluten Sensitivity

Gean (Salina, Ks) on 10/14/2009

I have a question about gluten sensitivity. I have read and heard first-hand some horror stories about people going very strict off gluten, and then either purposely or accidentally having some gluten, and then developing very severe, irreversable illness (fibromyalgia in one case). I am wondering if it is wise to go very, very strict off gluten, like not a drop, and become so sensitized to it that an accidental ingestion at some point would put you into some auto-immune disorder. For those that are not life-threateningly sensitive to gluten, but still very sensitive, I wonder if minute amounts on a daily or weekly basis would be wiser, to keep yourself somewhat desensitized (like some form of vaccine). If anyone has any light on this subject, I would much appreciate it, as I recently realized my daughter is gluten sensitive, but I don't want her to have the same experience as others I've heard about. Thank you very much.

Selsun Blue for Rash Under Eye From Celiac Disease

Rich (Boca Raton, Fl) on 03/29/2009

I was told by someone with Celiac Disease that they used to get rashes break out under their eyes (due to the Celiac). He experimented with Prescription Strength (2.5% Selenium Sulfide) Selsun Blue. He no longer gets these rashes (but he also avoids Gluten). So Selsun Blue MAY help with the rashes associated with this disease. I heard from another person that this remedy cures Tinea Versicolor as well.

Dietary Suggestions for Celiac Disease

Kerry (Perth, Australia) on 09/02/2008

Butter, cream, ayurvedic remedy of a mix of ghee + ginger powder + some brown sugar. The fat off free range lamb chops cooked in coconut oil. (Avoid any nuts for a while while the intestines heal as they are scratchy). Vitamin E. Raw wheatgerm (oats and raw wheatgerm provide natural vitamin E). Note: Gluten is not the "Route" cause. Ask the question why can my intestines not tolerate specific foods. Is the answer a deficiency in the diet reducing the health of the intestines?

I've had celiac disease since I was 2, but at the time the doctors thought I would grow out of it once I'm 7. I ate"normally" for about 12 years and a host of problems began. My intestinal biopsy showed scarring. My chiropractor (this is 20 years later) suggested to take extremely strong enzymes to handle the scarring and improve my nutrient intake, a cat's claw supplement and pro-biotics. (There are several really strong "systemic enzymes" to be found on the Internet). Note: I'm also sticking to the gluten-free diet. On the enzymes, I'm following one website that said to increase the amount by a capsule until I feel they are working. I've been taking anywhere between 5 and 15 enzyme capsules a day for about 3 months now and feel great! Also my nails look better and my hair has started to grow back (alopecia).

I am gluten intolerant. However, after reading about it in one of my home remedy books, I started to add paprika to all of my meals (except breakfast). I also take paprika capsules (3/day). It's been wonderful

Celiac causes many health issues. Diabetes, fibromyalgia,blemishes, yeast, MS,attention deficient, lupus, cancer, eczema, psoriasis, low thyroid, arthritis, acid reflux and many more. Good Book- Dangerous Grains by Braly Diet- eating no dairy or grains, Vit B12 methycobalamin shot, Vit D3, HCl and enzymes with meals, dairy free acidophlus when stomach acid is low helps. I also did LDN. I don't like drugs but LDN helps since there is so much hidden dairy and gluten it is hard to avoid it. I take 41 vitamins since my intestines are not absorbing as much as they should right now.People do not see my MS. I take things to counteract it like coenzyme Q10, rhodiola,biotin, carnitine, acetyl carnitine which helps the mitochondria work better which also helps fibromyalagia people too. I take the good oils:fish oil, evening primrose oil, Krill oil,lecithin, phoshpadityl serine/DMAE.

Many months ago I posted a comment about the ACV remedy for Acid Reflux. I suddenly got Acid Reflux last winter after taking a lot of Ibuprophen. The ACV remedy worked great, but after almost a year I was not cured. I felt that the ACV was helping me to manage the situaton but not really curing me. I was still having bouts once in a while and then I had reflux pretty severe for more than a week in early September, and the ACV wasn't really touching it. In order to feel better I really started eating very simply, mostly vegetables and some meat. After a few days of this I felt a lot better. But I continued my new simple diet for another couple weeks. Then I decided to add back in some cereals and immediately got Acid Reflux again. I new that I had a low level of gluten intolerance but after this I have come to the conclusion that I've have Celiacs, full blown. Who knows, maybe the ibuprophen weakend my stomach just enough to have the new level of Celiac symptoms. I have eliminated all grains except rice, corn and millet and I feel GREAT! I haven't even bothered with taking ACV for several weeks now. Symptoms of Celiacs or gluten intolerance range widely, so I'd recommend anyone with chronic acid reflux, mental fogginess, depression, anxiety, stomach upset, or skin rash, try eliminating gluten containting grains for a week and see what happens. Don't be afraid that you might be alergic to bread there are A LOT of great resources for Celiacs and gluten intolerant people now adays.
