This is a wonderful article I found today while searching for culprits into why I'm still having digestive problems... after being gluten free for over a year. I was actually a lot better for a few months. Then, WHAM, i have a bunch of new intolerances (I'm discovering).

This is written by a Vet, but it is written with People (and animals) in mind. The author is a celiac himself. I'm going to post this on a few boards so people will see it. Maybe it's even on this site somewhere already. It is also really long, but well worth the reading time. Plus he's not at all boring. Us Celiacs will be nodding in approval the whole time.

humm... the link thing isn't working... so type in the above address minus the "Lame Advertisement" part, and instead put --t-r-i-p-o-d-.-c-o-m- there. Sorry but it won't let me write it all together--- for some reason it keeps putting "lame advertisement".

Link to a much longer, but very good article as well--- more indepth I'll say

Tangerine -- Thank you for posting that article it looks interesting.

If you haven't read DANGEROUS GRAINS it's a must read you will understand why you are developing secondary food issues. It will happen to all of us as time passes, doctors are now finding this to be true.

It happened to me to, gluten free & dairy free about 5-years and WHAM BAM I got sicker with major thyroid problems. Mine (food allergies) have developed into seizure. Many of us celiacs have problems with SOY, CORN, LEGUMES, and NIGHT SHADE VEGGIES (some people are in denial). I avoided them but ate the safe foods all the time. The book DANGEROUSE GAINS and another was the PALEO DIET they recommed to rotate your food so you do NOT get allergies to it. As they suggested -- I found the ROTATION DIET is very helpful from stopping these other food issues from getting worse.

I've been doing the paleo diet for about a week now. It's tough, in that we're used to having things to absorb sauces and the like (rice, bread, potato, pasta, etc.) and now I have none of that.

But, an early report would be: I feel better. I'll update in a month or so (if I'm able to stay happy on nuts/berries/salmon - which I probably will be able to) to say how it's going.

The whole stuff on the lectins and the glutamate/aspartate was really interesting, especially the implications of the blood/brain barrier stuff - the MS and the autism and the parkinsons and the like. I have an MS friend who I'm going to ask to read this article.

Anyway, thanks!

p.s. I already had my dog on grain free - I never thought to try it myself.

Hey all!

I think I'm going to get the ELIZA test done to see what eles I'm allergic too. I get terriable heartburn, insomnia, tired all the time. It sucks! I know for sure I'm reacting to corn, but I think I have others too.

I never even thought to rotate my diet. I'm the worst at eating the SAME foods everyday. I'm not doing that anymore for sure!!! I have been living off a diet of rice and corn based foods, beans, cheese, soy milk and yogurt, dates, rasins, apples, bananas, carrots, and tomatoes for the past year (ever since my celiac diagnosis). I did eat other things now and then... but really I guess I've been naughty in the most innocent way. I had no idea! I have also learned that most of those foods contribute to my newly diagnosed endometriosis!!! Arghhh.

I changed my diet right after I read this article. No way in hell am I going to go back.

I even ended up writing to DogtorJ gushing how happy I was that I found the site.

I gave the article to my epileptic ex boyfriend. He was so excited he ended up writing him and e-mail too! He is hoping he might be able to help him with his research.

I so glad you guys found the article and site as helpful as I did. :) :) :)

I realized this a.m. that since quitting grains/beans, I have not woken up with a stomach ache (which I did every day for many years).

My only problem is that when I'm having a BM, I feel AWFUL. I feel like I'm seized by a horrible cold clammy cramp that is practically tying me in knots. The stuff itself is fine - easily expelld, not too scary. The minute all the business gets done, I feel great again. Weird.

Tangerine -- Yes, it took me a couple hours to read, but well worth the time. Once you get past his old web site and click on the new links the site becomes more user friendly. And you are right - AMAZING! More people should read it. I'm also interested in the aspect with dogs & cats getting celiac disease. It all goes back to grains like wheat, soy and corn were not ment to eat by humans, or animals. Period.

Reading the article made me think back to grade school. I was punished for speaking up and stating my mind. One time was when the teacher was telling us story about how the Pilgrims traded seeds (that were edible) with the Indians. I said to the teacher, "If they were edible then, why would we eat them now?" I questioned authority and was told to sit down and shut up. And, I did. Not anymore! But I always wondered why... Why? Why we stole the land from the Indians? And got away with it, or did we? And why we ate edible seeds? As I have learn (too much) about life and about celiac disease I know now why...

The article goes into many of the issues in the book DANGEROUS GRAINS. And, for me, it helped me make up my mind about animals and their food consumed too.

Thanx again Tangerine!

I use cauliflower or broccoli. Not really absorbent per se, but they're a nice base for adding sauces to. In Thai restaurants I order a side of steamed broccoli to put my Panang curry on. Yum!

      My son newly diagnosed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.

      Celiac pain relief

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? How long have you been gluten-free? Is your diet strict, and are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out in restaurants?

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

      By trents · Posted

      Key word, "gluten-like".  By the way, have you looked up Dr. Osborne's credentials and his background? He is a licensed nutritionist but his scientific? medical? clinical background is that of a chiropractor. He is not taken seriously by many experts in the medical and scientific community. If it is helpful to you to see these other cereal grain proteins as "gluten", I'm fine with that. The problem is, when you begin to promote that line of thinking to others, people get confused about what grains they actually need to avoid. About 10% of celiacs react to oat protein (avenin) like they do gluten (the protein in wheat/barley/rye). That is not news. But the vast majority of celiacs have no issue with these other cereal grains. If we start throwing around the term "gluten" to loosely embrace the proteins found in all cereal grains it's going to be very confusing to those just getting started who only need to avoid wheat/barley/rye. And it will also create a great deal of confusion in the restaurant industry trying to cater to that element of their customer base needing to eat gluten free.

      Testing

      By Nicola McGuire · Posted

      I was told by my doctor that due to high levels in bloods my son has celiacs but can do a test with biopsy etc but she said she can see the levels without this in his bloods . Is that correct

      My son newly diagnosed

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Nicola McGuire! An appointment with a dietician might be helpful. In the meantime, this article might get you off to a good start: It is easy to eliminate major sources of gluten in the diet but to arrive at a consistently "gluten-free" state is much more challenging. There is a real learning curve involved and part of that is just experience. In time, you and your son will develop a sixth sense of where gluten might be hiding as you shop for food and eat out. Eating out is the biggest challenge. You will make mistakes so give yourselves some grace. It is important that your son take ownership of this new health reality as you cannot be with him 24/7.
