Hello!

I have recently been contacted to participate in a research study on celiac disease at the Beth Israel Hospital. I will attach some of the details that I received in an email. There is no compensation (other than validated parking and gluten-free snacks), and the obvious of helping in the research on celiac disease and spreading awareness!

I asked if it would be ok to post the details of the study on this forum and was given the ok. Please contact Jessica at the number below or email her at jgeorge1@bidmc.harvard.edu if you are interested (she is very nice). The study seems very interesting...

I look forward to doing it and helping the celiac community! :)

Hi Meg,

This is Jessica from The Celiac Center at BIDMC. I was wondering if you might be interested in participating in our current research study for people with celiac disease. It requires filling out 4 surveys, meeting with the nutritionist and bringing in a 3-day food record, and providing a blood sample. You were interested in one of our focus groups back in Sept I figured you may be interested in this study. Is this something that you might be interested in participating in? Wed and Fri's are completely research days for us so we have alot of appointments on those days. It takes about 2 hrs and we validate parking and provide some gluten-free snacks. We have seen a lull in our recruitment and are really trying to make our target number of 150 by the end of June so please let me know. Thanks!

Jessica

      Help with blood test result

      By trents · Posted

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Waiting Too Long to Brush Teeth after Gluten

      By StrongerThanCeliac · Posted

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
