Thanks il check out your link out  value your input x

I have a gluten intolerance and managed to improve it by taking Lglutamine and coconut products. They say that Lglutamine improves the junctions in the gut and tightens the loose ones up. I definitely had a win. I went from high intolerance not being able to eat anything cooked in same pan as something containing wheat to being able to eat small things containing wheat eg. Sauces, hash browns but i have a build up thing once a week or two days in a row, no good. You can get it on iherb its tasteless  (allmax i think is brand blue container). And coconut well coconut just heals everything but is awesome for gut.  If you want to have a good crack at healing your gut stay away from
Dairy - instant inflammatory
Meat - well its hard for body to digest, too much protein not good for body and well dead life force (including fish unfortunately fish has so much human poison in it now you can no longer call it healthy (mercury, plastics & poison plus once again dead life force).
Lectins  - legumes another area to avoid for gut healing they contain lectins a substance that makes hard for body to break down (plant defense). Also some of the puesdo-seeds sould be avoid or used sparingly. And if your going to eat rice white is better brown and white bread better then brown whole grains are not as great as advertised they have there husks on and you guessed it high in lectins. Also might be worth looking at nightshade family try to limit some but i wouldn't remove them 
Note - nearly everything contains lectins but ones i mentioned are high.
And myself personally would remove wheat switch to gluten-free wheat is an inflammatory too it use to be good but the modern grain has been altered and is no longer 'good' for you. But good news is gf stuff is lots better then old days 
But i guess its baby steps or youll get defeated. Cut things down eg. Dairy, meat, legumes and switch them out for others that are friendlier and that you enjoy. Other people take alot of probiotics but i like to encourage my own bacteria growth with prebiotic foods and just helping your gut heal but not putting nasties in there should help you improve. I always tell people its like a wound you wouldn't keep rubbing dirt into it if you want it to heal that would make it worst your gut is the same it will never heal if you keep giving it harmful stuff it needs to keep fighting off, it just gets worst. 

Ps if you need any ideas or brand suggestions  (ur in oz too) am happy to help ive already tried alot lol

Hi. Only replying properly now. Had a BAD gut day yesterday. Turns out the pie i got from the Organic shop wasnt GF... And a nasty pie yes but i figured, oh is organic and GF (turns out it wasnt) so yeh everything went pear shaped yesterday

Goodness everything you said above resonated with me to a T!
I have been somewhat dabbling with the autoimmune paleo diet but was on a  arestricted diet for a long time with my SIBO and ended up starving my microbiome. Yes you are right building up the bacteria with prebiotic foods is such a better idea than probiotics. I still try to dabble with sauerkraut and do in corporoate a little prebiotic foods daily.

Absolutely right i have great lakes gelatin sitting in my cupboard, must start using it! I too though oh maybe a little gluten by way of sauces here and there might be ok but as you say stoking the fire and in my case i havent done enough healing to reach that point yet.

What il really struggle with is no cheese! I love my organic cheese... And the alternative is soy based. I wonder if theres any other options out there?

thanks for the input xxxx
