  1. Did the study include the effect of the celiac gene on oxalate sensitivity? This leads to creation of kidney stones, over and over--one of my kidneys is atrophied from "silent" stones and no longer functioning. I also have Type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. These all have a genetic component. They have the "silent" part in common, too, until late in...
  2. Will that mean, well, WHEAT may be OK? I ask because I have recently had to go on a low oxalate diet (this involves preventing kidney stones) and both almond flour and brown rice flour, and to a lesser extent tapioca flour, are things I have to avoid. The squinching of eyes as I read labels is excruciating. Wheat, natch, is low on the list of violators...
  3. What isn't clear to me is whether an endoscopy would or wouldn't help figure out which issue is causing your problems? If it would help even slightly, I'd say go for it. Endoscopies are not particularly grueling. Someone says "breath deep" and the next minute someone is offering you juice in recovery. Even the diet beforehand is way less of a problem than...
  4. Your question about treatment of accidental ingestion leaves one medication out. If your reaction is massive projectile vomiting, anti-nausea drugs can help, and are critical if you also have insulin dependent diabetes, because the vomiting really messes up the control of blood sugar by removing the food the insulin was working on. That's been my reaction...
  5. Yowsa. I've just got three, one of them dormant. And only one auto immune. Good luck.
  6. is it safe to say that if your bloodwork has the indicators for celiac AND you have the atrophy, the atrophy is due to celiac? I'm interested because I have a different eosinophilic disease, thankfully in remission for forever (pulmonary eosinophilic granuloma, now know as Pulmonary Langerhan's disease.) If you have one problem with eosinophils do you...
  7. This is weird. I had no sign of iron deficiency until I developed celiac disease. And yet this is saying that somehow my iron levels triggered the disease? Isn't it more likely that whatever gene it is is simply associated with people who present via iron deficiency?? So if I have a "tendency" to low iron, when celiac is triggered that's what's going...
  8. Malabsorption is how my celiac disease presented itself. I suddenly (over a short period, since I had tests every 3 months for my diabetes) went WAY anemic. At first the doctor thought it was an ulcer, which wasn't actually bleeding but might have, but after it was removed and the anemia persisted despite MASSIVE iron supplements, my canny doctor thought...
  9. Why not take a loaf of gluten free bread factory sealed, and possible cheese slices factory sealed? Small jar of peanut butter factory sealed. Make the sandwiches on the plane. If you can eat fish, smoked salmon factory sealed. Etc. Save those for Dubai. Bring whatever your home airlines allow for the first leg of the flight. I am diabetic (on...
  10. I have a funny story about food and customs that has almost nothing to do with celiac disease except advice. It is just funny. When my son was 17, back in the back of beyond, he flew to meet me in Ireland for a week's trip. He was, shall we say, anticipatory of later marijuana legalization. So I said "NO ILLICIT SUBSTANCES with you." He said fine...
  11. As I repeatedly complain to my supermarket, they have two freezer cases marked gluten free. Every time I have checked they contain NOT ONE gluten free product. Apparently Safeway thinks "plant based" is "gluten free" and apparently considers wheat a form of animal. The answer to KLM is devastatingly simple. If you can't guarantee your meals...
  12. This would be WONDERFUL news, since I love sourdough and it is actually hard to find in gluten free form. The closest I have been able to find is the Against the Grain baguette. It isn't particularly sour, but it does have the texture of sourdough. I once found a sourdough loaf on Amazon. It was reasonably priced--around $10. But the SHIPPING was...
  13. Another version of this just substitutes capers for the dill and broth/cream. Even faster
