It's about how gluten-free food is bad.

What do you think? Do I really need to stop eating gluten-free bread etc.?

I wouldn't call it an article.  Its more of an advertisement for the products sold by that site.

 

Most Celiacs eat gluten-free bread without issues.  If gluten free bread bothers you, don't eat it.  Try making your own?  I don't eat a lot of it because I have never been a big bread person and don't need the calories.

I agree with KarenG that this site doesn't appear to be all that credible.  That said, not all food that says "gluten free" is necessarily healthy.  Over-processed food with preservatives, additives, chemicals, corn syrup, and other crap isn't all that healthy - whether it has gluten in it or not.

Hi amitatos! Welcome.

 

I think rule number #1 for newly diagnosed celiacs should be "don't believe everything we read on the internet".  :D

 

Unfortunately, I learned early on that everyone has an opinion and they express it loudly.

 

So, okay...here's mine: read what the leading celiac researchers say instead of bloggers and websites that scare you and want to sell you information.

 

Many celiacs enjoy G F breads, cookies, crackers and are perfectly healthy. Just exercise moderation because they are high carbs.

 

Like all things, avoid them if they do not agree with you, but it is not true that they are "slowly killing celiacs" as this website and others  would have you believe. I eat some Udi's bread, crunchmaster crackers, GinnyBakes cookies, for example...and I'm alive and kicking. LOL

 

I do, however, have to go the gym now to work them off... ;)

 

Best wishes!

That site wants to sell you the owner's book, which has the magical answer you need.  Right.

Like anything else processed gluten free foods in moderation.  Too much of any processed food isn't "good" for you.  But enjoy your bread!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
