Chicken Barbecue

I am on Day 2 of being diagnosed with silent celiac disease.  I have no physical symptoms.  My body does not absorb iron and calcium.  My question, I am committed to a fund raiser chicken barbecue and am wondering if the chicken will be okay if I don't eat the skin.

If the chicken is coated in gluten, like fried chicken - no,  you will never get it all off.  You might check - often BBQ chicken is gluten-free.

In your case, because you have only been trying to be gluten-free for 2 days, it probably doesn't matter.  But, in my opinion, you may want to read up a bit about being gluten free.  Here is a good starting place  -

Me?  There is no WAY I would eat at a BBQ fundraiser.  Like our high school band or water polo banquets, we purchased our tickets, ate beforehand and ordered a soda or coffee.  The goal was to have fun,  socialize and support our kid.   Sometimes, I order tickets and tell them not to tell the caterer and to pocket the cash for the booster clubs since we do not eat the food.    A win win for the booster non-profit clubs.

By the way.....I just had anemia and osteoporosis.  No gut issues.  Now, with a gluten exposure, I get super sick with GI issues.  Odd, but true.    Just a heads up.  

The good news?  My anemia resolved within a few months, but I was pretty much a gluten free diet expert because my hubby has been gluten free for 12 years prior to my diagnosis.

I am the same.  Anemia and osteoporosis.  Good to hear the anemia improved.  How about the osteoporosis?  Did you ever take any medicine?  I tried evista for 4 months and had a bad reaction.  Next I tried Boniva for 4 mo this and had a reaction.  I then stopped and haven't taken anything.  I am curious if the malabsorption would have prevented the osteoporosis mess from absorbing.

I was diagnosed 4 months after I went through the "window of menopause".  Yep, went for an "over 50" colonoscopy and during my GI consult,  he recommended celiac testing.  I was anemic (my entire life), but that was blamed on a genetic anemia and 30 day periods during perimenopause ....lovely.  I had no gut issues.  

Three months later, I fractured a few vertebrae doing nothing.  So, because I just went through menopause, I opted for Hormone Replacement for a year.  Two years later, my bone scan revealed no changes.  Not better, not worse.  I do exercise a lot for a person my age.  I do not take any supplements.  I prefer to obtain all my nutrients through my diet, but I eat really well.  Probably better than most.  

Everyone is different in terms of celiac damage.  They heal differently and have other issues than need to be taken into consideration.  

It has been four years since my fracture and I am doing well.  Gave up roller skating though.  Still ride my road bike.  Still running on a trail.  Still lifting those boring weights.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
