This condition responds to the complete elimination of gluten, which is the required treatment that improves both skin and 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.

The healing process is like sunburn where the damaged surface layer of skin sloughs off and is replaced with new normal cells.<\/li>\n<li>Leaky gut normally resolves in two month after starting a gluten free diet and brings about a big improvement in health.

Case study analysis and review of the literature.&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0This case report describes a 5-year-old female affected by lamellar\u00a0ichthyosis, diagnosed in the first month of life, who attended a pediatric clinic for Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. The evidence of severe osteoporosis with hyperparathyroidism secondary to malabsorption suggested the occurrence of celiac disease. Endoscopy with multiple duodenal biopsies revealed total villous atrophy. The child started a gluten-free diet, supported by oral calcium and vitamin D. After 1-year follow-up, the girl showed complete normalization of bone mineral density. The introduction of the gluten-free diet did not lead to lesion repair, but the child reported significant improvement of her quality of life.<a href=\"#footnote_6_572\" id=\"identifier_14_572\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Nenna R, D&rsquo;Eufemia P, Celli M, Mennini M, Petrarca L, Zambrano A, Montuori M, La Pietra M, Bonamico M.
