Most doctors would dismiss the experiences I have described here, including my food diary, as somatic reactions, and begin to think of me as a hypochondriac--so I am very careful about what I share with doctors. Most of the research done so far in the medical field has focused on Type I hypersensitivity: classic IgE-mediated allergic responses. I wasn...

So, an update...whatever is going on with me goes way beyond gluten. I have been keeping a food diary since June 2024, and I now have a long list of foods that I reacted to. My methodology was to test a specific food several times to verify a reaction. Here are the results: Anything that comes out of a sealed package (can, jar, sealed bag) triggers a...

FMT has a strong potential to either cure or improve many diseases, including Celiac Disease. However, the FDA has only approved FMT for the treatment of C.Diff infection at this time, and FMT is not approved in the United States for any other treatments. However, I hope that this changes in the future. Preliminary studies have shown benefit of FMT for...

I tried taking 10mg loratadine to calm the histamine response, but it had no effect when I consumed foods that I am sensitive to. Still got all the symptoms anyway: extreme fatigue, brain fog, etc. I wonder why it didn't work.

Gluten Challenge and Crazy High Blood Sugars- Do I Continue On?

Are you making sure to eat protein and fats every time that you consume gluten? Protein and fat help to keep blood sugars in control. What proteins do you typically eat when you consume gluten?

Regarding diarrhea, this is a classical presentation of Celiac Disease. Not all people with Celiac will have this. There is a condition known as "silent celiac" in which the person has Celiac, but they do not notice any symptoms. Or a person with Celiac may only notice neurological signs of Celiac but not notice any gastrointestinal discomfort. -
And don't forget the last name in that list of authors: Alessio Fasano (the link cuts his name off). Dr. Fasano is the doctor behind all of this research and he is the one who discovered zonulin. Dr Fasano and all the authors, through their CDGEMM study, have possibly cracked the code of Celiac Disease and possibly many other autoimmune diseases, by...

As Wheatwacked said, you might have Celiac Disease. You need an endoscopy to check your intestine for damage. If you have damage, then you have Celiac Disease. But even if you do not have Celiac Disease, you should remove gluten from your diet forever, because of the positive Anti-gliadin IgG test result. This is because your immune system is strongly... -
I thought that TgAB was actually the one linked with cancer. "Thyroglobulin antibodies are also measured regularly in the follow-up of thyroid cancer." https://www.btf-thyroid.org/thyroid-antibodies-explained Also, my sister had thyroid cancer and had to have her thyroid removed. Then what is an objective way to determine low iodine status? ...

I was having trouble integrating this into my understanding of the pathogenesis of Celiac Disease, but I think I've managed to make sense of it now. Let me know what you think: TLDR version: Gut dysbiosis --> Zonulin increase --> Intestinal permeability --> Mast cells in the lamina propria encounter gluten and are sensitized to gluten ...

Canyon Bakehouse stuff: Yeah I used to eat that a lot too--was a staple in my diet. They contain non-gluten grains that you may be cross-reacting to. Teff, sorghum, etc. Boar's Head: They recently had a recall for lysteria... Udi's burger buns: see Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-free spaghetti noodles: see Canyon Bakehouse Mashed potatoes...

I am not sure; I tried looking up an objective diagnostic criteria for diagnosis of Hashimoto's, and it seems to be subjective, which is disappointing. I was expecting to see criteria such as "If TSH is above this, and if T4 is below this, and if T3 is below this, and if antibodies are above that, then a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is called for...

Well looking back I think I made a lot of assumptions with AIP (due to the AIP diet's claims) that I shouldn't have, such as "my gut has healed," "the foods that I re-introduced are not hurting me, its something else," etc. I think we cannot assume our intestines have healed or that any particular food "should" be safe, and instead, upon re-introducing...
