My new doctor suggests the following information to treat vitiligo:

Gluten free diet

check out the celiac.org website (we will benefit from following the information on their website even though we don't have celiac disease)

She suggests taking Probiotics 25 billion with each meal

Glutamine 5 grams 3 times a day

The previous cleans our gut!

She shared much more about how to treat adrenal exhaustion. If you are interested let me know. There are more supplements to treat it!

  • Yes taking supplements really do help with you to repigment. I have been taking vitamins A, B12, D, Fish Oil, and 2 billion acidophilus a day, I have been taking them every day for 4 months and have started to repigment.. I have different size pigment spots inside of my vit spots!! Just wanted to share what's is working for me!,!
  • Hi ,

    I have been to a new doctor recently in NJ, 

    He suggested me

     L-Glutamine 500mg -

    "Iron Free Omnium - 

    "L-Phenylalanine 500mg 

    Clubex Lotion, Pepper Oil and Protopic.

    I have not yet started on these , still the orders are on shipping .

    Will try and update if that helps.

    do you think Probiotics 25 billion is something different than the above vitamins?

    Thank You

  • Several people advice taking B-Complex... My doc said my son is deficient in Vitamin D.. i am sure the answer lies in supplements/vitamins but will each case be different? Was the Probiotic recommended after a certain test? If so, what was it?

  • treatment with 40 milligrams of ginkgo three times a day may stop the spread of vitiligo. And, in one small placebo-controlled trial, ginkgo caused repigmentation in some cases.

  • I am taking the following: ProbioMax Daily DF 30 Billion CFU Probiotic the brand is Xymogen

    My doctor said to take 25 Billion  with each meal they only had 20 Billion or 30 Billion so I went with the 30 Billion.

    I also am taking Glutamine it's called L-Glutamine 1000mg so I take 5 capsules which equals 5 grams three times a day.

    Perhaps research the best probiotics because there are different kinds....or check with your local natural health food store.

    These clean the gut is what my physician said....hope that helps! ;)

     

    • Thanks!! My son is the one with Vit. I will check with his pediatrician to see what he advises. Thanks a bunch!
      • His pediatrician will have no sympathy with this kind of treatment because it is not endorsed by Big Pharma and doesn't cost a lot for the pills!  Sorry!

  • Karen

    Really great to keep us posted with the new developementys

    pl keep in touch with all of us

     

    Good luck and regards 

    • It's frustrating because traditional physicians don't see the need to treat from the inside out! My new physician is a board certified physician but she also compliments her practice with holisitic medicine! A great combo! I feel so much better! I just can't wait to see what happens with my vit... I read on another forum when I googled that a lady said her son repigmented quite a bit from using probiotics only.

      • What kind of probiotics do you take?
