Using Enzymes but staying on the gfcf diet

[Guest guest]

We saw our osteopath today and I talked to him about the digestive

enzymes in particular the possibility of using them to come off the

gfcf diet. His response was - I thought - quite interesting so I'm

posting it to see what others think.

He said that as far as he could tell ' gut had not yet healed and

was still irritated and inflamed.

He based this on what he could feel in a physical exam, plus the fact

that is still reacting to a lot of foods, and also refusing

foods (his latest line is " I don't like that, it will make me sick " ).

He felt that adding in wheat - even with the enzymes - would cause

further irritation and delay the healing of the gut. But using the

enzymes while keeping diet fairly simple would accelerate the

process of healing the gut and eventually allow us to add back gluten

and dairy without adverse affects.

So if you have gut damage/leaky gut, using the enzymes to come off the

diet may be helping short term but possibly not long term. Using them

to help heal the gut may be the best strategy.

What do you think?

Thanks
