resuming eating gluten in the future

Post by Roseboll »

After the gut heals, can you ever resume eating gluten and other foods that your are currently sensitive to in the future? :roll:

Hi Rose,

Most members have been able to slowly add fiber, raw vegetables, fruit, and seasonings back into their diets after they've been in remission for a while. Many have been able to add sugar, and maybe beef, pork, and nuts back into their diet. A fair number of members have been to add eggs back into their diet, especially in baked items. But gluten, dairy, and soy are usually permanent problems for IBD patients. At least that's been our experience.

the articles that i included in this discussion, and other members comments to the discussion are valuable.

gluten is a highly inflammatory ingredient to the gut = high risk to cause major issues...

Published research shows that all artificial sweeteners cause increased inflammation levels, especially for IBD patients. They all adversely affect gut biome populations. The worst is aspertame — virtually all of us react adversely to it. Stevia seems to have the least effect, so if you feel that you must use an artificial sweetener, it would probably be the best choice for an IBD patient. Some splenda products contain maltodextrin or other additives that can be a problem for some people.

I always use sugar — I just don't use much of it.
