    I don't remember that song but I remember the one about beans in your ears. You look young Sharona so I'm sure that one is not in your memory. It's from the 1960s.

    What is earworm? A rock group or a performer? Sorry, I don't follow the Hollywood/entertainment industry scene.

    Good advice. Many prepared foods, energy bars, protein bars, etc. contain inulins and alcohol sugars that are difficult for many people to break down. By the way, Sharona, I love your name. Never heard that one before. Is it a family name?

    Welcome to the forum Onofrio! Wikipedia has this to say about parmigiano cheese: "Parmigiano-Reggiano is made from unpasteurized cow's milk. The whole milk of the morning milking is mixed with the naturally skimmed milk (which is made by keeping milk in large shallow tanks to allow the cream to separate) of the previous evening's milking, resulting...

    Bob's Red Mill has their own in house testing lab.

    Celiac Disease and Diabetes have significant genetic overlap on the genome map. So having both is very common. In fact, there is an element in the medical/scientific community are advocating that all diabetics should also be screened for celiac disease. The good news for you is that the modifications to eating habits necessary to address celiac disease...

    Gene testing can only demonstrate the potential for Celiac Disease. A high proportion of the population have the genes that indicate potential for developing celiac disease (40% I think). Of those with the gene potential, only a small percentage actually develop celiac disease however. It takes both the genes and some kind of triggering stressful even (such...

    If you eliminate supplemental iodine, make sure you are still getting enough from natural sources. There's a reason they started putting iodine in salt. It's important for thyroid health.

    Seems like you have answered your own questions for the most part. I don't think there is anything to do except make a serious commitment to eating gluten free. All of the symptoms you describe could be related directly or indirectly to your gluten sensitivity. Your body is rebelling against your resistance to doing what you should have done years ago and...

    Not sure what you are asking about. You are already a member and have made a post. Choose a forum category from the forum home page and then choose a particular topic thread having been started by another member within that category. By the way, welcome to the forum community Capt-Lyon!

    Small bowel bacteria overgrowth would not have been revealed by an endoscopy. Actually, there is a test you can do at home by drinking baking soda mixed in water and monitoring how much you burp.

    Thanks, but I'm not sure how either solanine toxicity or nickel allergies relate to gluten issues and Celiac Disease. What's you thought there as to the connection?
  13. trents
    So at least at some point your were indeed having symptoms. Are you saying you no longer have symptoms when you eat wheat\barley\rye products? This is confusing since you said in post #1 you have no symptoms. I strongly suggest you take the next step of diagnosis/confirmation and ask for an endoscopy/biopsy.
  14. trents
    Yes, I would like some links. Seems like just about every food you can think of has some potential health benefit but also some potential health danger, at least for some people with certain medical conditions or when consumed to often in large quantities. So a lot of this kind of alarm sounding is just sensationalism. I would like to have some links to be...

    Do you have any references for the nickel and solanine toxicity? This is new to me. Tomatoes are generally regarded as a super food.
  16. trents
    Just because you have no symptoms doesn't mean damage is not being done to your body, especially the small bowel. It is not uncommon for celiacs to be asymptomatic. And just because you are asymptomatic now doesn't mean you never will be. By the way, what tests did your doctor use to arrive at a celiac disease diagnosis? I assume these were blood tests...

    Welcome to the forum. You are wise to be concerned about your exposure to gluten in this environment. You would to at least have to come up with some protection to the eyes, mouth and nostrils that was truly filtering the grain dust out. And it would probably be a good idea to shield all exposed skin as there is a strong conviction on the part of some...

    Yes you can. But that doesn't mean she would not show symptoms later on if she continues to consume gluten.

    A number of brands use pea protein for at least some of their noodle products. Banza for instance. Barilla has a chick pea based rotini that we use.

    Here's an update. Nima was purchased by a medical supply company by the name of Medline Industries, Inc. I contacted them on the phone. They still carry the product (sensor and capsules) but the guy I talked to read a memo from corporate he had received in the last day or two that explained why they are out of stock. It's because of the interruption in the...

    Not necessarily. That would only be true if the ingredients themselves which they receive from their suppliers has not be cross contaminated. This is where individual sensitivities come into play. A very low amount of gluten, lower than 20 ppm, may still cause reactions for some celiacs but not for others. 20 ppm does not work for all Celiacs but for most...
  22. trents
    Certified gluten-free products might be contain anything up to a maximum of 20 ppm. The "certified" part means this has been verified by an independent testing lab. Non certified products labeled simply "Gluten Free" is a less exacting designation and may refer only to the fact that gluten containing ingredients are not knowingly included in the product formulation...
  23. trents
    I think it would be better to say that 20 ppm of gluten is sufficient for most but apparently not all celiacs.
  24. trents
    It is believed that about 10% of Celiacs react the same way to oats as they do to wheat, barley and rye. But there has always been this question mark surrounding that figure as to whether that happens because the oats that have been cross contaminated with one of those other grains. The only thing to do would be try eliminating oats from your diet for awhile...

    Follow up here and correction on my post above. In fact, type one diabetes does share some of the same genes as Celiac Disease. That's what I get from shooting from the hip before doing the research.
