Peanuts

I saw on the news last night where they are now growing peanuts that are safe for those that have an allergy to them. This is great news for them, but when are we going to get our equal time and get some wheat that is safe for us to eat. If they can do this with peanuts then WHY cant they do it with wheat? Just a thought........ Would be nice don't you think? :angry::(

That's interesting...how do they remove the allergic component?

I wonder what the allergic component is in peanuts? And if this will help those of us with more of an intolerance to them.

As for wheat, I'm not sure what the allergy component is, but if you're talking about removing the gluten, I don't think it's possible. If you took the protein gluten out of wheat, you'd pretty much just be left with the husk. And it certainly wouldn't have the same properties of wheat anymore - it would act like rice flour when you try to bake it. It would fall apart!

Allergies are the body's abnormal response to the proteins in different foods, but I have also read that peanuts have a very high mold content and some people who have a problem with peanuts are reacting to the mold.

But I can't imagine how they can remove the protein from peanuts or any other food for that matter.

Maybe it's a genetically modified, engineered peanut?

I would be interested in reading the article the op mentioned.

      Should I get a second opinion?

      Welcome to the forum, @shell504! The IGA 401mg/dl is not a test for celiac disease per se but a check to see if you are IGA deficient. People who are IGA deficient will produce celiac blood test antibody scores that are artificially low which can result in false negatives for the individual antibody tests such as the TTG IGA. You did not include reference...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      I apologize i can't figure out how to get the picture on here. Results were: IGA 401mg/dl Deamidated Gliadin IGG. <1.0 Deamidated Gliadin IGA. <1.0 Tissue Transglutaminase IGA AB. <1.0 Endomysial IGA. Negative. Is she just going based off of the IGA alone? And because that is elevated, it's positive? The test...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      My test results should be attached. Please tell me if they are not. My doctor recently told me I have celiac. The only symptom i have had was loose stool for a few months. However, I should mention that my diet was horrible. I have since started incorporating more fiber and it seems to be evening out. I told her about everything and she suggested...

      Mistakenly eating gluten

      Had you eaten fries at this restaurant before without issue? Sounds to me like it could be glutening plus something else like a stomach bug, a little food poisoning or gallbladder problem. Make we ask your age?

      Should I get a second opinion?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @shell504! The IGA 401mg/dl is not a test for celiac disease per se but a check to see if you are IGA deficient. People who are IGA deficient will produce celiac blood test antibody scores that are artificially low which can result in false negatives on the individual antibody tests such as the TTG IGA. You did not include reference ranges along with the test scores and since each laboratory uses custom reference range scales, we cannot comment with certainty, but from the sheer magnitude of the IGA score (401) it does not look like you are IGA deficient. And since there are no annotations indicating that the other test scores are out of range, it does not appear there is any antibody evidence that you have celiac disease. So, I think you are warranted in questioning your physician's dx of celiac disease. And it is also true that a colonoscopy cannot be used to dx celiac disease. The endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel is the appropriate procedure for diagnosing celiac disease. But unless there is a positive in the antibody testing, there is usually no justification for the endoscopy/biopsy. Is this physician a PCP or a GI doc? I think I would ask for a second opinion. It seems as though this physician is not very knowledgeable about celiac disease diagnositcs. Having said all that, it may be that you suffer from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease. The two gluten disorders share many of the same GI symptoms. The difference is that NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. The antidote for both is complete abstinence from gluten. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. There is not test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. So, if it becomes apparent that gluten is causing distress and testing rules out celiac disease, then the diagnosis would be NCGS. Hope this helps.

      My test results should be attached. Please tell me if they are not.  My doctor recently told me I have celiac. The only symptom i have had was loose stool for a few months. However, I should mention that my diet was horrible. I have since started incorporating more fiber and it seems to be evening out.  I told her about everything and she suggested a panel, which I did. Now she's telling me the tests is conclusive with having celiac, but even on the results itself, it says that it is not. She is also suggesting a colonoscopy to see if there are any other issues going on. But shouldn't she want to do an endoscopy first to confirm the celiac? I'm so confused. I hate questioning a medical profesional but wanted opnions on if I should maybe just see a GI dr or get another opinion from just a different dr in general?

My mom ate the same thing as me and didn’t get food poisoning. I’m 21 years old. Could it just be that i got glutened and irritated my stomach since i hadn’t eaten anything and then drank alcohol and ate fat food? I’m just scared because i still have symptoms and this happened last week. I feel bloated and like there’s much gas
