Thanks,

Thanks for the replies. It is actually my husband who has the slighlty enlarged spleen. It showed up on his U/S from this week. It said slightly enlarged. The GI didn't seem concerned, he has not had mono, but he is still undx. I thought I had read that gallbladder, pancreas, & spleen issuse are related to Celiac and Gluten Intolerance. Just one more thing to add to the list of symptoms. Thanks again for the replies.

Mine is. It was found during a CAT scan. Nobody seemed overly concerned about it.

Hi jennifer,

My daughter had swollen glands all over her body, with extreme aches, high fevers, nausea, and vomitting. After a miraid of tests she came up with an extreme case of Epstien Barr (mono). She had a sonogram and a cat scan with barium. Her liver and spleen were both very swollen and all the liver enzymes were off. It is impotant to be very careful with a swollen spleen, because if it he gets hit in the stomach or falls on that area, the spleen can burst.

Take care of him, and I hope he feels better soon,

Wendy

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. ...

      Corn Gluten vs. Wheat Gluten: Corn gluten (zein) is different from wheat gluten (gliadin), but both are types of gluten.  Inflammatory Response: Some celiac patients have shown an inflammatory response after consuming corn.  Cross-Reactivity: Corn can mimic gluten in sensitive individuals, potentially triggering immune responses similar to those caused by gluten.  Individual Sensitivity: Many individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance find that they can't tolerate corn gluten, even though they avoid wheat, barley, and rye.  Nonresponsive Celiac: Some individuals with celiac disease don't respond well to a gluten-free diet, and this may be due to gluten contamination...

      Home-made kefir

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey! It’s great that you’re exploring ferments like kefir—they can be a wonderful support for gut health, especially when navigating celiac or gluten sensitivity. Kefir is rich in probiotics, and many people find it soothing during gut healing. It’s great that you’re already thinking about making sauerkraut and kimchi too—those are fantastic next steps! And that’s incredibly generous of you to offer kefir grains; I’m sure there are folks in NYC who would love to start their own batch. Keep sharing and exploring—you’re off to a great start!
