Celiac Types And Segregations, And Eventualities

Ok, I admit to taking time off from reading about celiac disease. I needed to.

But now I'm reading again, and I don't know if it's me looking at this with new eyes or if this is a newer phenomena, but it seems like lately I'm seeing articles and research drifting towards segregating out types of gluten intolerances??? Also, it seems I'm reading recent (I think) articles about how if you are + on the genes you are always at apparent lifestyle risk (meaning if you eat gluten you raise your risk) of developing celiac disease.

I found something about Gluten Ataxia not being celiac disease but a separate condition, apparently, although I've read here how people have neuro and gi issues from gluten...so what are THEY (I mean ME). This seems to be associated with DQ1. This is from About.com but this is an example of the type of article I'm talking about... Open Original Shared Link

Of course, there's all the new stuff about NCGS - which I'm very happy to see out there.

Then there's stuff from the company doing desensitization/vaccines saying DQ2 is the only celiac gene.... Open Original Shared Link

Saw something else saying they are going back and looking at genes from dx'ed Celiacs who did not know their genes and are finding a number of them aren't DQ2 or DQ8. https://www.celiac.com/articles/23019/1/The-Celiac-Disease-Confusion/Page1.html

Then there's the stuff about 13 new contributing genetic loci Open Original Shared Link

What else has everyone else been seeing, and what do you think?

I think if you feel better on a gluten free diet wether you have gastro or neuro symptoms they should just call it celiac. Not if you're just doing it for some diet fad. But if you have symptoms get better with a gluten-free diet and you have other conditions related to celiac (other autoimmune disorders, vitamin deficiencies, etc). They should call it all celiac but break it down into different categories like they do with other diseases. If you react to something and you keep ingesting it anyway it's going to cause some kind of damage eventually right? Just because it's not damage to the villi doesn't mean it shouldn't count. Sorry if I'm rambling it's one of those days lol :lol:

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
