Re: need help with gas/flatulence - have leaky gut and mcs

Its amazing exactly how identical my gas problems are to yours. Thank God I'm not the only one :)

I too have leaky gut except my gas happens in the morning and stops once I get up. Then it starts again around 4 or 5pm for the rest of the night. (This is good considering it used to be all day, every 5 minutes and became painful).

To relieve my gas I found drinking peppermint tea and massage peppermint oil into stomach (gentle clockwise direction) really helps around 4pm - 5 pm in afternoon every day.

I have been on detoxes for 5 years and none of them have worked. I'm considering going off them altoghether. I found that taking 4 capsules (2 on waking and 2 before bed) of probiotics Lactobaciillus acidofolous really helps and I can't survive without them!

Vitamin c has become a must. It keeps my Acne down and if I stop it, I almost immediately get a cold or sore throat.

There is a book called "Friendly Food" that can help with food intolerances . I am just about to try it. It shows you how amines and Silicilades can effect intolerance thresholds. This may be causing my gas. Spinach has alot of fibre in it and is high in Silicilades. Maybe these things are effecting the gas rather than fibre levels? I will also try skipping my evening meal as suggested on the last post. Sounds like a good theory.

Have you heard of FDR Farmacist Desk Reference? By Don Tolman. I don't have it but I heard he recommends kefir and other fermented foods for vibrant health.

In terms of leaky gut treatment have you tried L-Glutamine powder? I am unfortunately allergic to it.

I hope that you are feeling better. It can be so hard to function socially with such an embarrasing problem like this one, as I am aware and have suffered too. All the best.
