- cristiana replied to Paula Andrews's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease5Can celiac cause widespread pain??
Hello @Paula Andrews I started to get a whole host of new pains around the time of my diagnosis and afterwards, quite apart from the expected gastric pain. Pelvic pain was caused by bloating from dairy products; pain in my chest due to bloating caused by iron supplements; costochondritis in my ribs, which was a dull diffuse pain not emanating from the...- 1

- trents replied to Bebygirl01's topic in Related Issues & Disorders20How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten "Gluten is a structural protein naturally found in certain cereal grains. The term gluten usually refers to the elastic network of a wheat grain's proteins, gliadin and glutenin primarily, that forms readily with the addition of water and often kneading in the case of bread dough. The types of grains that contain... -

At minute 28 and again at minute 45, the man explains that the carbohydrate storage protein In CORN is ZEIN. Zein has segments of the 33-mer polypeptide, alpha gliadin, found in wheat, barley, and rye, which if presented to DQ HLA genes triggers an autoimmune reaction in those with Celiac Disease. Casein in dairy for the same reason can similarly... -

I didn't have the typical intestinal symptoms before I was diagnosed, but had severe allergies, asthma, and failing kidneys. I often felt that horrible body achey felling like when coming down with a super bad flu. Now if I get glutened, I feel like I've been hit by a truck.- 2

Oats gluten free?
I went through issues with oats when first diagnosed. I thought I couldn't eat any oats at all, even certified gluten-free. Then I learned about purity protocol oats. The list here has gotten smaller through the years, so I check it every time I order. I had been ordering one brand on the list that was later found to contain lower levels of gluten. I...- 2

Hello @Paula Andrews I started to get a whole host of new pains around the time of my diagnosis and afterwards, quite apart from the expected gastric pain. Pelvic pain was caused by bloating from dairy products; pain in my chest due to bloating caused by iron supplements; costochondritis in my ribs, which was a dull diffuse pain not emanating from the sternum which is what all the forums tell you, but it can be along the ribs too and that's where I had it; pain in my sacroiliac joints (worth googling, something coeliacs are prone to) which referred especially to my left buttock and thigh, felt like my skin was on fire, and last of all pudendal pain, which made sitting and driving...

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten "Gluten is a structural protein naturally found in certain cereal grains. The term gluten usually refers to the elastic network of a wheat grain's proteins, gliadin and glutenin primarily, that forms readily with the addition of water and often kneading in the case of bread dough. The types of grains that contain gluten include all species of wheat (common wheat, durum, spelt, khorasan, emmer and einkorn), and barley, rye, and some cultivars of oat; moreover, cross hybrids of any of these cereal grains also contain gluten, e.g. triticale. Gluten makes up 75–85% of the total protein in bread wheat. Wheat gluten is composed of mainly two types of...

At minute 28 and again at minute 45, the man explains that the carbohydrate storage protein In CORN is ZEIN. Zein has segments of the 33-mer polypeptide, alpha gliadin, found in wheat, barley, and rye, which if presented to DQ HLA genes triggers an autoimmune reaction in those with Celiac Disease. Casein in dairy for the same reason can similarly can trigger an autoimmune reaction in those with Celiac Disease, but casein in dairy is not gluten. Some people who have difficulty with corn do not have Celiac Disease and are not mounting an autoimmune response to Zein presented to DQ HLA genes activated by Celiac. To label corn as having gluten is simply going to confuse... -

The list here has gotten smaller through the years, so I check it every time I order. I had been ordering one brand on the list that was later found to contain lower levels of gluten. I found that out after having just received a new order that did give me some light symptoms. Apparently I can tolerate oats themselves, but not a low amount of gluten. But I STRONGLY recommend first eliminating all oats for a few months before trying any of these ...
