This research is about getting more of the gliadin out of processed foods for testing -- since the current procedures apparently only extract 44%, that would mean tested foods (as a whole, not raw ingredients) would generally have (over) double the amount found by ELISA testing!

Also, the new test can find the proteins from rye and barley!

=============

Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2005 May;17(5):529-39.

Development of a general procedure for complete extraction of

gliadins for heat processed and unheated foods.

Garcia E, Llorente M, Hernando A, Kieffer R, Wieser H, Mendez E.

OBJECTIVES: In the past, one of the major problems in gluten analysis

has been the unavailability of an efficient, universal, extraction

procedure of gliadins - the alcohol-soluble proteins of gluten - from

both heat processed and unprocessed products. This study was designed

to develop a universal, extraction procedure capable of extracting

the totality of gliadins from both unprocessed and heat processed

foods for coeliac patients. METHODS: A simple quantitative extraction

solution containing 250 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and 2 M guanidine

hydrochloride ('cocktail'), was developed to extract gliadins from

heated foods. RESULTS: The diluted reducing and disaggregating agents

reaching the micro plate at low concentration do not affect the ELISA

system based on the R5 monoclonal antibody. The recovery of gliadins

extracted by the cocktail from spiked samples was nearly complete,

with an average mean value of 95.5%, which is clearly superior to

44.4% obtained with conventional 60% aqueous ethanol. The cocktail

always yielded either slightly similar or higher values than 60%

aqueous ethanol depending on the type of foods: 1.1-fold in unheated

foods, 1.4-fold in wheat starches and 3.0-fold in heated foods. False

positives or negatives were never observed using the cocktail

solution. CONCLUSION: We present a general complete gliadin

extraction procedure based on reducing and disaggregating agents for

both heated and unheated foods as a crucial tool for gliadin

analysis. The new extraction solution is used for corresponding

proteins from rye (secalins) and barley (hordeins). The cocktail was

employed as the extraction method in the international ring trial

evaluation of sandwich R5-ELISA as proposed by the Codex Alimentarius

and organized by the Working Group on Prolamin Analysis and Toxicity.

Hey Kiddo:

That went way over my head! (lol) Can you break it down for my simple mind! :D

Relief all round after Paula pauses on road to glory

JOHN INNES

FOR 15 terrible seconds it looked like the curse of Athens had struck again. With just four miles to go to the end of the London marathon, Paula Radcliffe pulled up and stopped at the side of the road, apparently in severe pain.

But with anxious millions watching on television, the tears never came - Radcliffe had stopped to relieve herself.

Within a matter of seconds, she was back running on the streets of east London - still ahead of the pack and with her trademark grimace intact - and went on to win the race with a gap of five minutes over her nearest rival.

Speaking soon after the race, Radcliffe apologised for her unscheduled toilet break and revealed that severe stomach cramps had forced her to stop - blaming too much grilled salmon the night before.

"I want to apologise to the nation - I had to stop. I didn

There was another article that required me to register free to view. I've done that sort of thing before, but only on the ones that actually seem quite interesting ;).

This isn't an article, but I just found it. Free celiac recipes: :lol:

This may not be the right thread to add this, but Keith Olbermann mentioned celiac on his show last night. The stick puppets from Michael Jackson Puppet Theater are being auctioned on e-bay and 100% of the proceeds go to the celiac sprue association.

I kind of wish Keith hadn't said he has a "mild case of it". I'm sure he was being sarcastic but people unfamiliar with the condition wouldn't know that.

Here's the link to the auction

Wow...$15,000 so far! Too bad it's the CSA and not GIG or some research program, but hey, it's celiac. ;)

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.
