      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that with gluten we're talking about ppm, or "parts per million," and not parts per billion.  Sticking to whole foods and home cooking is the safest way to go, without necessarily replacing all gluten products you might normally eat with gluten-free ones. If you do eat gluten replacements, for example gluten-free bagels or breads, it's probably best to take @trents advice and seek out certified gluten-free brands.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Ryangf. You don't need permission to not eat anything that makes you feel bad; including wheat, barley or rye products. Wheat flour has an omega 6:3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do best at less than 3:1.  Omega 6 fatty acids are generally inflammatory. There is really no point in more testing.  For some it takes 10 years to finally get a positive.  Once you start eating gluten free why bother going back?  Peer pressure.  Some countries have financial benefits with Diagnosis.  The only treatment for both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is no contact with Gluten.  And you already know the answer, just in a stage of denial.  Some go through a mourning period.  You are losing a friend.  And there's the anger.  Also, gluten has addictive properties, it activates the opiod receptors. While healing you will experience new intolerance for foods that never bothered you before.  Partially blame it on the opiod receptors, they were numbing you.  And people may taunt you. One aspect of recovering from Celiac and NCGS is vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Celiac causes malabsorption from small intestine villi damage. Some of your symptoms will go away with the gluten but others are caused by deficiencies in the western diet and your particular food choices. Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5 are essential for producing ATP energy for the cells.  Vitamin D deficiency is virtually ubiquitous in Celiac Disease and the other autoimmune diseases.  That, I believe is why many have multiple autoimmune diseases.  A blood level of 200 nmol/L or 80 ng/ml is the normal that gives the most immune system, bone health, mental health. Other common deficiencies in the western diet are iodine, choline, potassium. To replenish them you need a much higher intake than the minimum RDA.

      Sorry if I was unclear, I was not talking about Disinfection lamps at all, the D in D lamp stands for vitamin D, not Disinfectant. These are vitamin D lamps that stimulate your own body to make vitamin D.
