  1. Russ, you state " Rice makes me bloat and burp despite a strict gluten-free diet". Out of curiosity, does that statement apply to white rice, brown rice, or both?
  2. Bechari states "I cut all gluten from my diet one year ago. Blood tests don't indicate celiac disease." According to 2023 American College of Gastroenterology celiac disease guidelines, patients who "have a high-level TTG IgA (>10 fold elevation above the upper limit of normal) with a positive endomysial antibody (EMA) in a second blood sample can be diagnosed...
  3. Out of curiosity, why would anyone with celiac disease want to eat white rice--a product which has had fiber, minerals, and vitamins removed from it? In my case, I eat brown rice all of the time, and I always wash it; and I cannot even imagine including any white rice in my diet.
  4. Unfortunately, all copper level determinations I have seen in scientific reports assessing celiac disease are focused on serum copper levels, not red cell copper levels. I would strongly suggest you have a physician order a serum copper level determination to assess your body's copper stores.
  5. Interesting point. As an individual with both celiac and type 1 diabetes, I have personally found that corn gives me significant problems with both blood sugar control and other side effects. Corn is not a grain...It is made of polymers of fructose, which when broken down, is metabolized to products different than those of broken down grains. As a consequence...
  6. "Niacin is the generic name for nicotinic acid (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid), nicotinamide (niacinamide or pyridine-3-carboxamide), and related derivatives, such as nicotinamide riboside [1-3]." A combination in the body of nicotinic acid and chromium results in a compound called "glucose tolerance factor" (GTF). It does not at all surprise me that Red Bull...
  7. Hi Katrina, I would like to suggest the following book if you have not seen it: "Real Life With Celiac Disease", Melinda Dennis, MS, RD, LDN, and Daniel A. Leffler, MD, MS, The Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (associated with Harvard). The book indicates that there are many vegetables and fruits that celiacs can have trouble with...
  8. Bechari, Please take a look at my italicized comments and questions above.
  9. According to American College of Gastroenterology guidelines, "After 6 to 12 months on a gluten-free diet, approximately 80 percent of individuals with celiac disease will test negative by serology." Copper deficiency, which can occur with celiac disease, can cause neurologic problems. Has your doctor ordered a serum copper level?
  10. Please take a look at the quote I included above from the book "Real Life With Celiac Disease".
  11. An excellent reference I would highly recommend: Real Life With Celiac Disease: Troubleshooting and Thriving Gluten Free, authored by Melinda Dennis, MS, RD, LDN, and Daniel A. Leffler, MD, MS, associated with The Celiac Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (associated with Harvard). You may get some good nutritional ideas when you look at...
  12. In the United States, cows and chickens are fed grains rather than grass, resulting in the production of fats which are rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which in excess can cause significant inflammation. Whereas 100% grass fed chickens lay eggs with a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio of about 1:1, grain fed chickens lay eggs with an omega-6 to omega...
