Latest Celiac Disease News & Research:
Everything posted by Scott Adams

I want to say "welcome back," but you now hold the world record on this forum for the longest member stuck in the denial phase 🙄. Did you know that because your mother has celiac disease you have a greater than 44% chance of also having it? That is what the latest research shows. Regarding your home test kit, technically speaking you're supposed to... -
Another round of neuropathy coming! Anything I can do?
Scott Adams replied to BuddhaBar's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Supplements should help, but of course the main thing is to cut out all gluten, which it sounds like you've done. -
It's not 100% clear from your first post whether you've been maintaining a gluten-free diet for the 2.5 years, as you mentioned eating a hamburger and fries. Did the hamburger have a gluten-free bun? Did you order it at a restaurant? If you eat out, that is a likely source of contamination. You are on the right track with re-checking your diet to make...

This can vary greatly from individual to individual. Super sensitive people claim they get severe symptoms only minutes after ingesting gluten, while other may have no symptoms at all. Some people say it takes 24-48 hours, which can make it very hard to identify the source of contamination. How long and severe the symptoms are can also vary greatly. Generally...

Yes, it is a possibility that your celiac disease, similarly to Type I diabetes, kicked in at that time. If you keep eating gluten I suspect your symptoms would continue to get worse and worse, and you may end up with full blown celiac disease with flattened villi and malabsorption of nutrients (trust me that you don't want to go there!).

Here are some articles on villi damage from other foods besides gluten. They are quite old, but I will try to find newer ones:
-
Casein intolerance...but you'd have to look at some of the summaries there.
-
Good question. We have some really old summaries here, and I'll bet there is a lot more that have been done on this: /celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/casein-cows-milk-intolerance-and-celiac-disease/
-
Many people who are gluten sensitive don't have villi damage. It would not hurt to contact the GI and aske them how many samples they took, and if they used the Marsh scale to grade them. At least 4 samples are recommended, and then they should be graded using the the Marsh scale. Given your high DGP results though, some doctors would diagnose you with...

Big Wheat Wants You to Think a Gluten-Free Diet is Dangerous—Don't Buy It
Scott Adams commented on Scott Adams's article in Winter 2021 Issue
Personally I don't think it's a waiter's job to "get suspicious" about orders. The restaurant should either be able to do gluten-free meals or not, and should simply provide a gluten-free order, or not--in which case they should explain exactly why they can't provide the gluten-free order. It should make zero difference if someone orders a gluten-free...- 26 comments

This article may be helpful, but be sure not to go gluten-free until you find out whether or not your doctor wants you to do a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis:
-
You DGP results, which are the best tests available, are high positive, so it looks like you likely have celiac disease. Many doctors are diagnosing celiac disease via blood tests alone, however, your doctor may also want you to do a endoscope/biopsy to confirm it. Normally you need to keep eating gluten until that part is finished, so be sure to consult...

Self Tests reliable?
Scott Adams replied to CMCM's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think they turn around results quickly, and you should know within a week. -
There is research which shows that cow's milk (casein) can also cause an increase in the ttg levels to those who are sensitive to it. This happened to the patient in a story we published today: and here is the research on this: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2341287918301601

What is Healing Clay?
Scott Adams replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's interesting that medicinal clay is attributed to having anti-inflammatory effects. I wonder it that's true? -
@knitty kitty this is very interesting, and we'll do a summary of this research: The patient in this new article we published today also experienced high ttg until they also eliminated dairy:

It’s strange that your villi recovered but you still have high antibody levels. You didn’t mention your symptoms...are you still having symptoms consistent with gluten exposure? I was thinking that perhaps you could go grain-free for a time, then retest, but this is not easy to do.

I am a side sleeper but you can sleep on your sides or back. It has a bamboo frame inside and is slightly flexible. It gets more flexible with age, and can last about 5-10 years. I got mine at a day market in Taiwan where the are referred to as traditional pillows, almost everybody used to use them, but many now use Western pillows.

Please share your testing experience with us. -
This thread is inspiring! The general belief is that if celiacs go gluten-free and eat a well-balanced diet (replace the fiber missing from the wheat you subtracted), they should have normal life spans. I would add that they will have much longer life spans because they treated a very dangerous disease. Yet I still have a cousin who have this and won’t g...

Yes on the feathers...and bones...I’ve never tried it, so can’t vouch vor it as a delicacy, Fresh duck eggs are great, and are almost always free range.
-
Perhaps be sure your brown rice is not the culprit. Although it’s unlikely, grains can be cross contaminated in areas where they package them, during shipping from the fields, etc. If possible use a brand that says Gluten-Free on it or even better certified gluten-free.

For me it took a combination of the gluten-free diet and using a traditional Chinese bamboo pillow. It turns out that most cultures did not have soft pillows, especially when you look 100 years back and earlier. For hundreds of years the Chinese have used bamboo pillows which are much harder. Here is a picture of mine. It took me about 2 to 3 months to get...

I too had chicken egg intolerance for a few years before and after my diagnosis. I could tolerate duck eggs with no issues. The can be found at farmer’s markets and Asian supermarkets, but if you get them at the latter beware that the also sell them with a developed embryo inside (a delicacy in parts of Asia, they are normally marked with a red Sharpie m...

It sound like you’ve eliminated processed foods and looked closely at your diet for sources of possible contamination. Have you looked at your lotions, cosmetics, conditioners, shampoos, etc. for wheat? Also, do you ever eat outside your home, especially food from restaurants?
