Awful Article On Gluten Sensitivity

I just read the worst magazine article on gluten that I have ever seen. It was published in "Woman's World". The title of the article is "A hidden food allergy may be MAKING YOU FAT! The article claims that gluten in preventing people from losing weight and that there are "AMAZING RESULTS" and "RAPID WEIGHT LOSS" for gluten free dieters. It sounds to me like a big advertisement for another fad diet...which is exactly what the article is trying to do..use it as a fad diet. It claims that "everyone should try it". And how does this article define gluten? it refers to it as "a gooey protein that is in the world's most fattening foods like chips, cookies, etc.... not ONCE does it say that gluten is wheat, rye or barley. In fact, those three words are not mentioned in the entire article. While I am glad that the awareness of gluten sensitivity is becoming more popular, it really pisses me off that whoever wrote this article, has absolutly no knowlege of Celiac Disease. The only good part of the article was that it referenced readers to THIS site for more information.

      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

      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?

      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.

      Rogol72, your recommendation to the OP to "show them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis" confuses me as the OP does not mention having dermatitis herpetiformis.
