    Cousin Sandra, Groupthink and the Truth
    Celiac.com 02/13/2020 - I made a rare visit to a cousin a year or so after I was diagnosed with celiac disease. As the youngest child in a large extended family, my cousin was closer to my mother's age than mine. He took my mother and me on a beautiful ride around Kansas City. I sat in the back seat as they reminisced about their younger lives while passing the places where they experienced them. It came time for lunch and he wanted to take us to a favorite BBQ place in the heart of Independence, MO. I hesitated at his suggestion, and he said, "You aren't one of those vegemanaterians, are you?" The coy word he used, and his tone suggested his disapproval of anything out of the ordinary. (In fact, at that time I was a gluten-free vegan!) I said, "I'll find something." During lunch, I picked ...

    The Secret to Maintaining Your Healthy Weight Without Dieting—Cleaning Up Your Body Step-by-Step
    Celiac.com 09/18/2020 - Did you know that certain foods may be seriously compromising your general health?  If you are interested in eating a cleaner diet in order to effortlessly maintain your ideal weight, to boost your immune system, and to improve your overall health consider a step-wise approach.  Switching abruptly from eating a mainstream diet, rich with baked goods, processed foods, milk, cheese, yogurt, meats and alcoholic beverages to a cleaner, healing diet comprised of whole (gluten-free) grains, beans, nuts, vegetables and fruits can be a shock to the system.  It can also rock your world because you have to re-think virtually everything consumed.  There is a better way.  Rather than doing an about-face overnight try doing this incrementally, incorporating one change at a time...

    Gluten-Centric Culture: The Commensality Conundrum - Chapter 1 - Are You Kidding?
    Celiac.com 03/05/2021 - In 2003, I was on a business trip in New Hampshire when my skin blossomed into an itchy, burning rash. During the daylong meeting, I felt it spreading under my clothes. I delivered a presentation to 20 people, while wondering what was happening to me. After the presentation, I went to the bathroom and open my blouse. One look at my reflection in the mirror, and I fainted.
    At the emergency room, I was confronted with seven different doctors, one at a time, who ask me if I have taken illicit or pharmaceutical drugs, or been exposed to fertilizer or dioxin. They told me that I was having a systemic chemical reaction. They prescribed steroids and antihistamines. They said the rash exposes my body to bacteria and instructed me to buy a thick sweat suit to wear on...

    Gluten-Centric Culture: The Commensality Conundrum - Chapter 2 - Ideologies In Our Gluten-Centric Society
    Celiac.com 06/25/2021 - Chapters of Gluten-Centric Culture – The Commensality Conundrum are being published quarterly in the Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. Dr. Duane will be holding small discussion workshops starting July, 2021 for those interested in diving into the material in the book (please see below for details). Ideologies as explained in chapter one can be summarized as taken for granted truths. These "truths" govern how we interact with each other. Dr. Duane conducted a nation-wide study of over 600 people who live with food sensitivities while earning her PhD. This work is the result of that study. Throughout the document, study participants are quoted. Names have been changed to protect the identity of study participants.
    Ideologies evolve and change depending on cultural n...

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and...

      I’m wondering the same. I am tempted to cut out gluten as this is advised for Hashimotodisease anyway . However, if I do I would not get official diagnosis of celiac disease. In Uk where I’m based once officially diagnosed you are eligible for dexa bone scan, more regular blood tests etc. However these seem to vary in availability so I’m wondering ifactually worth...
