Celiac.com 07/25/2016 - Celiac disease is a tricky rascal. Just when you think you've got it under control, it sneaks up and manifests into new and often unexpected problems. At least, this is what we have found over the last decade. From contacts with others who have celiac disease, we know we're not alone. I'm in my early thirties and find that sometimes my body acts more like that of an old man's. For instance, I've had gout even though my diet contains almost none of the food culprits traditionally associated with that disorder. Then I learned that what gout and celiac disease have in common is that they are both auto-immune diseases. My skin is quirky and has been since I've been little; I can't wear certain types of fabric and have to use soaps and detergents for people with "sensitive...
Celiac.com 06/28/2019 (originally published 07/12/2010) - The report by R.H. Wasserman titled “Vitamin D and the Dual Processes of Intestinal Calcium Absorption“ is very important. I have some writing to do (and corrections to make) as a result of reading this. It helps to explain why dogs don’t suffer from clinical osteoporosis. It’s obvious that there are processes taking place in the ileum of humans that do not take place in the dog.
This came up as I was counseling an Internet acquaintance concerning his osteoporosis. He was not improving with conventional therapy and was also suffering from chronic lymphocytic colitis. I knew that the ileum actively absorbs calcium but the numbers in the study above were news to me. I’ve been telling people for years that one of the b...

Celiac.com 07/06/2020 - Although researchers are just beginning to learn about the role of vitamin D on the immune system and on infection, recent studies point to vitamin D as an immune system regulator and signaling component. Over 900 genes are reportedly regulated by vitamin D. Researchers are investigating numerous potential influences of Vitamin D on chronic diseases such as diabetes, celiac disease and cardiovascular, neurological, and autoimmune diseases.
A team of researchers recently set out to define the possible role of vitamin D in celiac disease development, taking into account potential links among vitamin D, the immune system and celiac disease. The research team included Giorgia Vici, Dalia Camilletti, and Valeria Polzonetti. They are variously affiliated with the S...

Celiac.com 01/19/2022 - A number of researchers have encouraged screening children with celiac disease for vitamin D status, but, so far, studies to support these recommendations have not been definitive.
A team of researchers recently set out to assess the vitamin D status in newly diagnosed children with celiac disease and in a non-celiac disease control population and relate them to vitamin D intake.
The research team included Rajni Ahlawat; Toba Weinstein; James Markowitz; Nina Kohn; and Michael J. Pettei. They are variously affiliated with the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition, Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center; and the Department of Biostatistics, Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, NY.
For their study, ...

Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?
Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider... -

Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you... -

Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. -
