Anyone have a similar experience?

Like many of you, I noticed an almost immediate improvement in some

areas after starting the diet after my diagnosis three months ago.

However, it has taken months for other symptoms to finally dissipate.

So here's the question: Does it take that long for a leaky gut to

heal? For a while I thought I was misdiagnosed.

Also, I've been a lurker for a while and I appreciate all of the

restaurant and grocery suggestions here. Someday soon I will be able

to take advantage. My diet is extremely limited right now with 99

percent of what I ingest being cooked by yours truly.

Not that anyone would be this stupid but here's a cautionary tale;

Turns out that Lays Stacks (which are not potato chips as advertised

but are a reconstituted non-food) have wheat in them. I almost ate a

few when they were offered to me! I have a lot to learn.

I too have been waiting for symptoms to disappear. I started gluten

free in January and I know leaky gut is causing me to react to lots of

other things. Even when the other things are identified and

eliminated, it seems that I soon react to something new. It's very

challenging. I'm trying hard to really " strengthen " my digestive

system right now with prebiotics, probiotics, glutamine, omega-3, etc.

It seems disappointing to work so hard on eliminating gluten (and

dairy) and not get the positive reinforcement of feeling better.

Anyone else had any luck in improving leaky gut?
