So what is the main way to fix gut after some years of damage? I was recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance, stopped gluten but I was in Italy and for 2 days I tried also gluten things even pizza and zero issue, bit bloating......would peptides like BPC157 or Lazartrudite fix it?
There’s no one size fits all way to ‘fix’ the gut. It really depends on what’s driving the issues. If the main issue is gluten intolerance (specifically in the US), then your experience in Italy actually tells us a lot: it's likely not gluten per se that's the problem, but instead the quality of wheat and how it’s produced and processed in the US.
Modern US wheat is heavily hybridized, generally higher in the more inflammatory gliadin fractions and usually has much higher glyphosate contamination (it's commonly used pre-harvest to dry the crop here unlike in Europe). On top of that, bread and pasta here tend to be loaded with additives, preservatives and fast rise yeasts which the gut doesn't love.
Your experience in Italy is a great example that when wheat is grown without those factors and using different strains, less pesticides and with longer fermentation, your body tends to tolerate it better. You hear it all the time from people with "gluten intolerance" in the US.
As for the peptides, both can support gut lining repair and help reduce inflammation, which are common issues for anyone who’s been regularly consuming gluten in the US. That said, I wouldn’t look at them as a free pass to keep eating gluten regularly and just undo the damage. A much better approach imo is to eliminate or at least significantly limit gluten (along with any other damaging or inflammatory foods) and then use peptides and other tools to support addressing any acute issues you've confirmed you have.

Personally, I battled autoimmune issues for years = acne, eczema, the lot.
What changed everything? Cutting out grains.
It gave my body the space to heal.
Now, over a year later, I can enjoy the occasional slice of sourdough or a quality bowl of pasta, even make my own sourdough pizza.
But I’d never make it a staple.
It’s a treat, something to savour, not rely on.
For carbs, I stick to fruit, honey, and sweet potatoes.
Simple. Clean. Effective.
