In the March 26th issue of the First Magazine on page 17 there is a short blip about Celiac Disease. The article is entitled "What's Draining Your Energy." It asks questions regarding several other problems but where it talks about Celiac it says:

I struggle with diarrhea, gas or abdominal pain almost daily.

I have signs of anemia (breathlessness/ weakness)

Meds don't help my GI disease

"One in every 100 people has this illness, making it one of the most inherited disorders in America says Peter Green, M.D. author of Celiac Disease, a Hidden Epidemic. The problem: a misfiring immune system that attacks gluten ( a protein found in wheat), causing absorption problems. To confirm, as for the anit-tissue transglutaminase test (Anti -tTG).

Remedy: Stay gluten free Avoiding gluten will alleviate symptoms, And sidestepping it is now easier since there's been an 88 percent increase in gluten-free foods in the past year. But beware of surprising gluten sources like medications and lipsticks, cautions Dr. Green. For information, including products to avoid, visit AmericanCelieac.org.

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By peg · Posted

      Hi Scott, You mentioned in your response that you have been taking supplements long term.  What brand(s) do you take?  I ask because I've had a very difficult time finding truly gluten free supplements that have not made me sick over time from allowable trace amounts of gluten within the FDA's acceptable limits. Thank you, Peg

      Keep in mind that Dapsone can have some serious side effects, so be sure to look into those before you start using it. More about that is here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/dapsone-oral-route/description/drg-20063327

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      By eKatherine · Posted

      I suggest you look at your calorie intake. If you're not eating enough calories, your body will signal you to wake up and forage for more food. You need to be eating more calories than a healthy person of normal weight in order to gain weight. Also, your diet is extremely low in fat unless you are eating chicken thighs with the skin on, which I would recommend. Also be sure to add butter (real butter) to your vegetables. You can measure and record everything you eat, then look up and calculate what your protein/carb/fat intake is. Or just eat more chicken rather than filling up on vegetables and fruit.

      False blood test positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Since your mother has celiac disease, I would still keep an eye on this as there is a genetic component. Study results vary wildly, but the numbers are that anywhere from 10% to almost 50% of the first degree relatives of those with active celiac disease will themselves develop celiac disease.

      False blood test positive?

      By Russ H · Posted

      Your initial test showed a moderately raised level of IgA tTG2. There are several causes of this apart from coeliac disease including: inflammation of the joints, bowel and liver. Transient rise in levels can be caused by an infection.
