I saw thus article in my Facebook and now I an so confused and upset. I was dx in April with celiac and it has been a struggle eating since then. Now when I am just getting a little comfortable I read this!

New Glutens Discovered to be Harmful To Health

A new research study has led to the discovery of new gluten proteins responsible for generating immune damage in patients with celiac disease.

There is an old chinese proverb that my boss told me years ago: a full bottle makes no sound. a half bottle sloshes around. This was in light of the idea that sometimes people make a lot of noise even though they don't have the full story.

The actual article listed as a reference above studied the differences between the reactions of celiacs to wheat with the reactions to rye and barley. The whole hail mary leap of faith, no longer even true statement about gluten being found in all grains comes from god knows where. And after that I tuned out the rest of the tirade because to my understanding they are no longer making true statements.

Honestly it pisses me off that people disseminate information that is mismatched and not appropriately researched. That's all I have to say about that.

I am interested to hear the reactions of others on this board...

Here's the abstract from the article that's referenced: Open Original Shared Link

I'm not sure how your poster on Facebook drew his conclusions from this article? I think I agree with tictax707.

Wow, whoever you are following on FB has some sort of anti-grain agenda. That's one of the worst cases I've ever seen of totally taking a scientific study out of context. Unfollow/unfriend and ignore!

Some celiacs need to avoid oats, and some need to avoid dairy, but most celiacs have a full intestinal and health recovery after eliminating just wheat, rye, and barley. Stick to the gluten-free diet and you will probably be fine. If you find you still have GI trouble after a few months, we'll help you track it down.

I guess on Facebook they posted it from an article that was on a site called (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned)

I'm feeling better by the posts here. Thanks.

I'm sure I have more allergies than just the gluten but I don't always react. One day I react to milk and then I dont. I know my next step is elimination diet but I'm still grasping the gluten free diet. I also don't know if my issues is just part of the healing process or something I'm eating. It has only been since April. I see dr fassano in October for my first apnt after being dx. Hopefully he will shed some light.

I'm very grateful for the support on here. I do not know anyone in person that has this so I feel very alone. People who don't have to watch what they eat can't understand the depression and frustration that comes with this. Life revolves around food and now it's hard.

Dr. Haas had all of his celiacs in the first half of the 20th century avoid all grains because there was not awareness at this time that gluten was the harmful protein. It scares me that people are using his research so out of context.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?
