Hmmm, I wonder what the side effects will be?
I think what would be interesting is if they had a drug that you could take to help heal your intestines, but not as a substitute for a gluten-free diet. My Dad is a doctor and my Mom is a nurse, and they come from the generation of "just take a pill and you'll be better". We all know that you have to make lifestyle changes sometimes.

I've been thinking about leaky gut and zonulin, and if there was a way to create a substance to help heal the leaky gut and heal your villi faster, I think that's worth researching. I'm not done with wondering about the causes of intestine damage and leaky gut syndrome. There are just too many people that are sensitive to gluten that end up sensitive to other foods as well. I don't think it's not natural to have to limit foods in your diet. There is something that we are doing in our modern lifestyle to bring on this modern ailment of leaky gut syndrome. Some say it's antibiotics and NASIDs. I've read some other theories too about heavy metal toxicity or infectious diseases. Am I getting off topic here?

I do think it would be nice to have something to take as a preventative when you go out to a restaurant and you are afraid you are going to get glutened. I know this happened to me a few weeks ago, even though I went over the possible senarios with my waiter. He didn't end up preparing the food or serving it, so god knows what happened. I suppose I should get some digestive enzymes again to help with this.
