[QUOTE=madisongrrl;1171029]Intestinal permeability has been found in every autoimmune disease that has test for it - celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, MS, IBS, RA and ankylosing spondylitis. I only recently just leaned this.

I think your approach is so very smart. It looks like you are avoiding all potential major offenders. I love nuts, eggs and dark chocolate too! There is a certain emotional side to eating that is sometimes as important and the healthy side of eating.

I was gluten and soy free (whole foods diet) years before all my major symptoms came one. I pulled out the dairy a while ago. It's hard to say if I'm better or worse, because my burning symptoms can be moderate one day and nauseating the next day. Plus I've had nerve medication changes over the last year and a half that mask symptoms.




I take l-glutamine by xymogen to help with IP. It also intensifies the antioxidants I take, so now I use much less of them. I have had pretty good success with it.

This article discusses why more attention should be shed on glutamine and intestinal permeability.
