Guest guest Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi! The last question I asked on this forum was about giving up gluten if you are taking ldn. I was under the impression that if you used ldn for celiac disease it would counter-act and/or inhibit the effect of the auto-immune attack. On the basis of this presumption, I wondered why if was necessary to give up gluten if you take ldn. All the answers I received told me that I had to give up gluten in the case of celiac disease, even if I took ldn. So I am asking myself, what exactly does ldn do to help people with celiac disease? It's not that I don't believe ldn can help with celiac disease, I just want to know how it works. Any explanations gratefully received! MacG.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 The benefit is balancing the body's immune system which would then help improve bowel issues. However, if you continue to consume the thing your body does not tolerate - gluten - you make it very hard for the LDN and the body's immune system to do its job. LDN is not something a person with celiac disease can use so they can consume gluten. Some people do find after time and healing of their immune systems that their body better tolerates gluten - typically in small doses. But most try to avoid all gluten. That's my take on it. I have UC - not celiac disease - just for reference.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 If I understand correctly celiac disease is caused by a genetic irregularity, is that true?If so, LDN is not capable of repairing genetic defects or other problems.JackieFrom: Jan C <lemonsilly09@...>Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Celiac disease - Againlow dose naltrexone Date: Friday, June 18, 2010, 1:17 PM Is there anyone on this list who has been healed from celiac disease?
