i found this when i was looking up info on fibromyalgia-------something to do with glyconutrients. i was thinking it might be something helpful----and then i read this.......

I was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue in Dec 1990. This condition is “incurable” and is an intolerance to wheat, oats, rye and barley (anything with gluten). I had a lot of gastric pain, often vacillating between diarrhea and constipation. When diagnosed, my hemoglobin was extremely low and so I was very anemic. I had food sensitivities to hot peppers and spicy foods of all kinds, as well as MSG. I experienced great fatigue and pain.

I began taking some products made by a company in Texas in Jan 1994. At that time they only had an endocrine support product and another product which was designed to help athletes. They later came out with a glyconutrient tablet which I also began to take. Within 8 months or so I had healed a great deal and was able to eat almost anything.

I have been in menopause for 2 years and have very little of the traditional symptoms and have not had to go on hormonal support.

Today, I eat anything that I want. I look and feel great. Many people have told me that I look younger today than I did 3 years ago. My hemoglobin that was extremely low is now getting to normal limits. An impossibility according to most physicians, especially because of my age.

i wonder if she has had any follow up blood work??!!

How was the Celiac diagnosis made? What kind of tests were done?

Sounds like a sales pitch to me!

A sales pitch based on a testimonial from someone who was originally misdiagnosed.

I agree. No one simply goes from having celiac to eating anything they want. It's a chronic, life-long illness, and her diagnosis could have only been from dietary changes--certainly 16 years ago the tests for celiac were less specific. She doesn't even name the suspect supplement.

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins found in these other cereal grains. It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
    • Lori Lavell
      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.
