- trents replied to MomofGF's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms19Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance
I question your terminology. I believe "gluten intolerance" is used as a synonym for celiac disease in most circles today whereas "gluten sensitivity" is used of NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) though you still see a lot of inconsistency in how the terms are deployed. -
- cameo674 replied to cameo674's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms8Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?
Because of my brother’s supplement regime and my and my husband’s known gene mutations, all of the kids (26,28,30 - I should not call then kids) take PureTherapro RX Methyl Multi without iron, the MagTech magnesium supplement with 3 forms of magnesium, and D3. I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules. I... -

Thank you for the response. I didn't think of the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57! I REALLY felt the doctors taking... -

Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa. I know i do. Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here...

People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do. I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten. Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients. I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their...

I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules. I take the Metagenics lemon flavored Fish Oil Epa Dha 1000mg gels and the kids call them horse pills. They want something 1/2 that size bur don’t have a fishy taste.

Thank you for the response. I didn't think of the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57! I REALLY felt the doctors taking you more seriously comment. That is a huge issue. I just had fairly extensive blood work done, none of which was testing for celiac, and everything came back normal. I felt completely dismissed by my doctor even though my symptoms remained unchanged. As a matter of fact, Celiac disease wasn't even on my regular doctors radar. I think after studying the symptoms and comparing them with my symptoms that should have been one of his top differential diagnoses. I will follow your advice and wait until after the bx to begin eating gluten free. I'm fairly certain of the diagnosis at this point because 4 days of no gluten has made a difference. I feel somewhat stronger, nowhere near as anxious or irritable, urinating every 2 hours instead of every 30 minutes to an hour and much less nausea. If anybody has any other words of wisdom, advice, really anything, please let me know..I'm kind of alone in this. -

Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/ P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes? -
