Gluten Sensitivity Study Floating Around The News

Hi All, 

 

I've been seeing this floating around the news:

 

Open Original Shared Link

 

 

Supposedly the scientists that discovered it have "debunked" non-celiac gluten sensitivity and the article is getting reblogged all over the internet.This horrifies me! I have celiac disease, but I feel like this kind of news will contribute to further negativity and discrimination against the gluten free community in general (as if there isn't enough already.) It can't just be the nocebo effect, right? I have to think that additional details are being excluded.

 

Too many people really do feel better after changing their diet (even if they don't have a positive biopsy.) My great-aunt is a nurse and she said she's seen a lot of patients have improve from the diet.  

 

Thoughts anyone?.

We have had this posted here several times in the last few days. You might want to look at those discussions.

The fact is NCGS is just a blanket term. There are many causes of NCGS - a couple articles we have had on here recently include un- dxed Celiacs and FODMAP sensitive ( wheat is a big FODMAP food). Another issues being looked at is that it might be another part of the wheat that people are reacting to.

It's a bit like " Stuffy nose syndrome".- you could call all instances of a stuffy nose that, but there are many reasons for the stuffy nose - allergies, cold viruses, flu, etc.

The links are in the publications section. But yeah, the haters do like to hate and the judgmental do like to judge.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
