Celiac/gluten allergy with PANDAS


BikeWP

Recommended Posts

No celiac in our family but glutens (gliadin in particular) are known binders of zonulin, which increases gut permeability (leaky gut). Prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and probably galactooligosaccharides (GOS) seem to improve leaky gut by inhibiting zonulin.

Here's something interesting...gluten-free diets may help people with autoimmune conditions regardless of whether they have celiac disease.

 

"Gluten-free diet dramatically inhibits [type 1 diabetes] in animal models, and epidemiological data are supportive of such an effect in humans. The mechanisms include less subclinical intestinal inflammation and permeability, and changed composition of bacterial flora, which can also be obtained by intake of probiotics."
