This condition responds to the complete elimination of gluten, which is the required treatment that improves both \u00a0intussusception\u00a0and gut health.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Gut health is the foundation to restore ALL health. Restored health will enable you to maintain a strict gluten free diet, just as other life tasks will be easier.<\/li>\n<li>A strict gluten free diet means removing 100% of wheat, barley, rye and oats from the diet.<\/li>\n<li>Cutting out bread and other obvious sources of gluten is not good enough for recovery. Even 1\/8th teaspoon of flour or bread crumb is enough to sustain the inflammation that is damaging your small intestine, causing increased permeability (leaky gut) and allowing undigested gluten to enter your body where it can damage structures and function, and instigate immune inflammatory responses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Correct Your Individual Nutritional Needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cp_bullet green\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Eat foods that can replenish missing nutrients.

A 40-year-old man was admitted for a right-sided iliac abdominal pain related to a small bowel intussusception. Laparotomy ruled out a digestive tumor. Persistence of diffuse abdominal pain associated with progressive and unexplained weight loss for several months led to the diagnosis of celiac disease, which was confirmed by the presence of specific serum autoantibodies and histological duodenal villous atrophy.\u00a0Celiac disease can favor small bowel intussusception, even in adulthood.
