Question 1

I am wondering if the protocol helps those who are Celiac? I know that it does not cure it, but can it be beneficial?

Accepted Answer

The protocol can help those with Celiac Disease in a few ways. First, studies have shown that many individuals with Celiac Disease also have overlapping bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) contributing to their symptoms.  The rifaximin and inulin used to balance bacteria in the protocol can help reverse these symptoms. Second, the protocol, especially when combined with vagus nerve stimulation, can dramatically reduce intestinal and systemic inflammation, potentially allowing certain autoimmune disorders to shift into remission.
