    I eat mushrooms often and I don't get a reaction. I doubt that mushrooms are grown on wheat as it is well known that a lot of people are allergic to wheat. If a product contains wheat intentionally it has to be labelled. This probably makes it less likely for companies to take risks with peoples healths by using wheat. Probably the same for barely as it is...

    Here is a link on the topic: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/06/210629144312.htm Also the vaccine seems to help a high percentage of people with long term symptoms of covid. https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/vaccines-may-help-long-haulers-covid.html There is a strong connection to a particular virus...

    If you celiac you need to avoid wheat (and also probably oats), however other grain might be fine if you aren't sensitive to it. For some people with UC some grain may be fine. Here is a study on diet and UC. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1774231/ There is also information that zinc (I take it with selenium, and magnesium)...

    Zinc, Magnesium and Selenium can also be easily depleted if someone has IBS, drinks alcohol, has inflammation stress or a really long list of other conditions. Zinc boosts tight junction proteins in the intestine and helps maintain the blood brain barrier. Zinc supplementation can be helpful for ocd. Zinc supplementation decreases relapses in crohn's disease...

    Here is a link about the limits of these types of tests: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/gluten-and-cross-reactivity/

    Are you sure the test you took was the right test for celiac disease? If you get a copy of your tests results and post what the paper says on it, we may be able to check if you got the right test. Since you had been grain free before the Celiac disease test that means that Celiac disease has not been ruled out. In order for the celiac test to be accurate...

    Blood tests are not a good test of smaller amounts of cross contamination. Such small amounts could still cause major inflammation in the gut. I don't think any study has ever used a stool sample (the only reliable way to test for gluten cross contamination) for more than two or three days before the actual study took place. The study calls the...

    Zinc and leaky gut in Crohn's disease. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11383597/

    Low stomach acid is one of a long list of reasons why someone might be deficient in zinc. Anything that damages the intestine could cause low zinc levels. Also supplementing may be helpful for reducing inflammation in the gut even if someone has normal levels in the blood. I am trying to keep this particular thread topic though on zinc (and magnesium...

This is likely relevant for healing in the intestine. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/263176#Zinc-and-COVID-19 There...

    Have you been tested for Celiac disease, or do you know you have wheat sensitivity? A lot of people with Celiac disease feel like they have difficulty concentrating or anxiety after eating wheat. These symptoms go away though on a gluten free diet. If someone has many years of brain damage from untreated celiac disease (say for example gluten ataxia...

    You could try some caffeine free green tea, supplement with theanine, glutamine, baking soda, mint tea or chamomile tea. Those all calm down the digestive tract and reduce inflammation. Also I would take lots of zinc, magnesium and selenium. If you recently ate something with gluten in it it may just take time.

    More info zinc and IBS: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4231515/#B160

    In general I think the idea is that people should get enough zinc magnesium selenium and copper. If you are talking about treated celiac disease, it does seem like zinc level tend to normalize. However is is more confusing because of the overlap between IBS and Celiac disease. Technically celiac disease is a type of IBS. Also the two groups overlap...

    Your welcome. Here is some more information about leaky gut and how some things interact in the intestine that I found useful and helpful. The experiment in the link below was done on normal cells, exposed to gluten peptides. I know gluten peptides can enter cells, and they can also trigger inflammation by activating receptors on the outside of cells...

    Here is some information I found about IBS and zinc. Zinc has some anti-inflammatory properties. I know diabetes and other autoimmune conditions can effect zinc levels. (The information about zinc vs copper levels in celiac disease is based on a study where many of the people with celiac disease said they weren't following a gluten free diet.) ...
