N Acetyl Glucosamine aka NAG supplement shown to be helpful for Celiacs'; Forgotten Research rediscovered

To All,

I have been busy with life issues lately.....so my forum time has been reduced lately. 

Recently there was a popular article on Reishi Mushrooms and could it help Celiacs.

Here is the link to the article for those not familiar with the article.

This caused me to do some digging to see if there is something in Mushrooms that might be helping Celiac's the doctor's might of have forgotten...

And after a little research I hit on NAG....it is found in the Arthritis section of most Vitamins shops...

Here is three studies of it on/in either IBS or Celiac's where it (NAG) has been shown to improve Celiac's conditions as a potential therapeutic....

But for whatever reason has been forgotten.

Research them yourselves and see what you think.  I would love to hear what the forum thinks.

Here is the three best research articles I could find on N. Acetyl Glucosamine aka NAG as studied in GI patients.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7877884/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2394351/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11121904/

We are finding potential therapeutics that are not drugs which is exciting to me. 

And some that have been forgotten for 30 years.

As always I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

To All,

 I also wanted to add this link on Lectins that explains them a lot better than I can.

 https://www.scienceofcooking.com/gluten-and-celiac-disease/lectins-and-inflammation.html

It also has some nice information about NAG and Zonulin and Leaky Gut at the bottom of the article.

As always I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      Thank you to Trents, Scott, Christina and Bohanley for your replies!  I have been gluten-free for about 13 years and mostly dairy-free during that time. I haven't been diagnosed as Celiac. When I did the test I hadn't eaten gluten for two years and the nurse told me the test wouldn't be accurate. Anyway, once in a blue moon I'll get tempted and take a tiny bite of something. If I do this two or three times close together, I'll get nauseated and if I don't throw up right away to stop it, will spend about 8 hours throwing up off and on before it's over.  I've been using Ketaconazole shampoo for about two years. I like T-Gel, but the prescription shampoo is the only thing right now that calms my scalp down. Many times, my scalp looks pink or red. It just feels very inflamed. I wash my hair every day and use Ketaconazole pretty much every day. I've noticed that a hot blow dryer seems to calm things down too.  My dermatologist has guessed (his term) at seborrheic dermatitis. I really need more help than I'm getting.  Thank you to everybody! Carolyn

      Are you using the same mixer that you used for your gluten containing baking? That could be your culprit.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?
