i'm new to celiac and was reading on the site about drinking wine. is wine good for celiacs? do some wines have gluten? what about grape juices?

also, what should i know about lectins and salicylates. i've asked about this before in the reply portion of the site, but, i think now i figured out how to post properly.

thanks,

reva.

Hi Reva,

You don't really need to know anything about Lectins or Salicylates unless you have a sensitivity to them or are allergic to them. I don't think that they are related to Celiac at all. A few people on this site are sensitive/allergic to them, my son Jacob is allergic to aspirin, and since that is derived from salicylates we have to watch his salicylate intake. Salicylates are a natural occuring component in most foods and each food has a different level. So the foods that are high in salicylates we have to limit or he could get a reaction. There are lists available on line that will tell you what foods are high, moderate or low in salicylates.

I don't know much at all about Lectins. Ursa Major (Ursula) can't have either so she would be able to tell you more about them both.

As for the wine question, I haven't found any wines that have gluten, although some wine-type beverages do contain gluten and you should read the labels. I have a glass of wine only a couple times a year, and usually it is a nice red wine. Wine is usually safe for celiacs, but not all hard liquor is. Sorry I can't be more help. I never was much of a drinker even before I knew about Celiac Disease.

      My 16yr daughter was recently diagnosed

      I’m so sorry to hear about the challenges you and your daughter are facing. A celiac diagnosis, especially during adolescence, can be overwhelming, and it’s understandable that she’s struggling with the lifestyle changes it requires. Coupled with the complexities of self-medication and signs of an eating disorder, this is undoubtedly a difficult time for your family. It’s great that you’re already engaged in therapies—this is a crucial step. For celiac disease, connecting with support groups (like those from the Celiac Disease Foundation) and working with a dietitian specializing in gluten-free diets can help ease the transition. For the emotional and mental health aspects, family therapy or support groups for parents of teens with similar struggles might provide additional tools and comfort. You’re doing the right thing by seeking help and information—stay patient and compassionate with both your daughter and yourself as you navigate this journey together.

      It is only the very start of this journey but it's actually been one of the hardest things we have had to deal with as parents.she started complaining about her stomach and after months and test after test the diagnosis came back as Celiac disease but while this was happening she has been self medicating with THC and also started making showing signs of a eating disorder, we are in therapies of all sorts in relation to these issues and well I'm just reaching out to find any and all information tools and knowledge as at 16 my daughter is fighting the change but it will be with her for a lifetime so I just trying to do all I can do ... If anyone can help with anything like anything mentioned please reach out to me.....thank you all for existing

      Testing

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.
