- Zuma888 replied to Natosha's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms5Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity
Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough? -

It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep... -

Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity
Hey there, You mentioned that current guidelines recommend to eat the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread for several weeks. Is it ok to do less for a longer period of time, for example 2 slices for 6 weeks? Also, does this recommendation apply to blood tests as well as the biopsy, or do they each have different timelines? Thanks in advance... -

Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?
Okay, so the term was being used loosely and informally, then. -

Hi Trents, yes classic Alzheimer's is caused by plaque build up but the diagnosis of Alzheimer's often covers other types of cognitive decline including mild cognitive impairment, short term memory loss and vascular dementia which are all of the issues that my Mom has. She does not show any plaque build up on MRI.

Alzheimer's is caused by a buildup of beta amyloid plaque tangles in the neurons. I don't see how that would be influenced by hearing loss. I can see where sensory deprivation could contribute to mental decline in indirect ways but Alzheimer's is a disease with a biochemical base.

Thank you all for your feedback. I did see the Consultant Otolaryngologist today and unfortunately she is not doing any research into potential functional immune or inflammatory mechanism that could be driving Ménière’s. My Mom was diagnosed with Meniere's at my age (58) and then did develop Alzheimer's in her 70's. The consultant mentioned that my Mom's Alzheimer's could have been triggered from the hearing loss due to the Ménière’s. She then went into worst case scenarios which freaked me out entirely (full hearing loss and cochlear implants)! Apparently it is very important to keep those neural pathways (hearing, balance vision etc.) fully functional to stave off potential brain disease like Alzheimer's. I really would like to figure this out and unfortunately do not have a good functional medic in Ireland who would help me in the diagnostic process. Consultant today has put me on a betahistine 3x per day for the next 6 months. I am also thinking that I will go gluten free and ramp up the B-complex and Benfothiamine (already ordered). I am still trying to source the tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD). I'll see where I am in a few months, will also test the gut microbiome and see what those results look like. Once again, I can't thank you all enough - your amazing knowledge and generous time and guidance is truly appreciated!!
