    I think you are fooling your self when you say, "I was previously gluten intolerant but not quite celiac." Whether it's gluten intolerance or celiac disease you are talking about you don't get over either. They are life-long medical conditions baked into your genes. And gluten intolerance is often a precursor to celiac disease. What kind of testing have you...

    And yet most of us celiacs make up for these several enrichment vitamins with supplements and iron is found in abundance in red meats. Even without supplements it is easy for most people without celiac disease to get all of these nutrients in a well-rounded non wheat diet. I think enriched bread is a carryover from a bygone era when when poverty was more...

    Very valuable input, ravenwoodglass, as it seems to definitively answer the question of whether or not one can have celiac disease without the classic genetic profile generally associated with the disease.

    I have some age-related hearing loss and found the audio to be very muddled. Only caught a word here and there. However, the broad themes of the message were still easily discernable through the acting and the cinematography. It does a good job of conveying the huge adjustments the newly diagnosed celiac must undergo - learning to shop and cook all over again...

    To be honest, I don't think he cares enough to be interested in doing anything about it.

    I've tried. He's a very social person who dines out frequently and it's clear to me that he has decided that is more important to him than enduring the health risks posed by continuing to consume gluten. In addition, I think he is largely asymptomatic.

    Welcome to the forum, Cb! It is not uncommon for celiacs to be largely asymptomatic. We call that "silent celiac disease." I was one of them but sense eating gluten free for almost 20 years now I find that I have much less tolerance for gluten than I did when consuming it daily. Now, if I accidentally consume a significant amount of gluten, like I did...

    I will be turning 70 in April. I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost 20 years ago but looking back there were some definite clinical markers that the disease was active for about 15 years before diagnosis. I have an uncle who is now almost 90 years old who was diagnosed with celiac disease probably 12-15 years ago but has never practiced gluten-free...

    That is why I believe it is becoming increasingly important to seek out products with the "Certified Gluten Free" label rather than just "gluten free."

    There is no evidence to support the idea that celiacs are more at risk for adverse reactions to the vaccine than anyone else.

    I found some information to support raspberry . . .'s claim. For instance: See the second paragraph from here: https://www.worldhealthlaboratories.com/histamine0d5cd131: "Folic acid (with vitamin B12) can help to raise the histamine level." And here: https://www.histamine-sensitivity.com/histamine_rose-08-13.html: See the last paragraph under the...

    Agree! Although I would point out that the article is addressing the eating habits of non celiacs for whom being totally gluten-free may not be relevant.
  13. trents
    Would you elaborate on that please?

    Made me laugh and reminded me of a conversation I had with a big chain restaurant chef some years ago as I was preparing for a company celebration in a few days. As I discussed different non gluten menu options with him and was about to finalize a plan, I asked him about one more particular item I was interested in for the meal. "Does this have gluten in...

    Thanks, Scott. Very interesting. I note the first article lists viral infection as a cause . . . something that has also long been considered a trigger for Celiac Disease.

    But is "lactose intolerance" really what we are talking about when referencing elevated ttg levels? I just read the titles to those summaries and they all reference intolerance. To my understanding, intolerances produce discomfort and diarrhea but isn't damaging.

    I wonder if CMP also damages the villi?

    Most but not all uses of healing clay seem to be topical in my research and the supposed anti inflammatory qualities are usually in connection with topical uses. When consumed, I think it tends to bind with a lot of things and that explains most of whatever effects it has on the gut and prescription meds.

    If I mention to a waiter that I have celiac disease I seldom get a look of recognition. Because of marketing verbiage which has chosen terms like, "gluten intolerant" and "gluten allergy," the term "celiac" is still not familiar to most. I usually just say, "I need to avoid gluten. Can you help me make some wise choices?"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicinal_clay Seems like the only proven benefit of healing clay is to counteract bone demineralization in space travel. It also can affect the efficacy of some prescription meds, so that must be considered.

    This is a common issue with gluten-free baking. I would try turning the temp down and increase the baking time. That would give the interior of the loaf more time to solidify. And then maybe also turn the temp back up for the last part of the baking cycle if you want a little crust on the surface. It will require some experimentation. It also may be...

    Any feathers yet on those developing duck egg embryos? I think I'll pass on that one. Haven't tried duck eggs but I tried goose eggs once. Didn't like them. Tasted very different than chicken eggs.

    True. Forgot the OP's physician suggested a ketogenic diet.

    Welcome to the forum, yojgajc! I'm 69 years old and seemed to have developed and egg intolerance as well. I can eat two poached eggs without a problem but if they are scrambled they give me a belly ache. I think that is very odd. Why would fixing them one way give issues but an alternative cooking method render them inoffensive? Anyway, I bought one...

    It points to the likelyhood that she is doing well with her efforts to eat gluten free. Do you have any other antibody numbers. IgA is not the only indicator and may not be the best one for evaluating celiac disease.
