I don't usually post here, but would like to share some information about the wide ranging neurological problems associated with gluten sensitvity...with or without celiac disease. Check out Post #3. If anybody seems to fall into this category..please consider stopping by the Braintalk Gluten Sensitivity forum where we have an increased interest in the neurological aspects of gluten sensitivity.

Cara,

Welcome to the neighborhood. I can second your suggestion to visit the link you listed, particularly for those with neurological presentations and/or for those of us who don't have DQ2 or 8, but do have DQ1's. The site has lots of info regarding what gluten can do to some people even if they don't have celiac disease. I find that site a very good complement to this site.

You're welcome! As time goes on The Gluten File has become a collaborative effort of many, so I don't want to take all the credit for it, but I truly appreciate your kind words and its nice to know the information is making its way around.

The Gluten File began out of pure frustration because although my family looks very much like your average celiac family...we do not have celiac disease...don't even carry the main genes. We are definitely gluten sensitive, though!  I just kept collecting information that I found fascinating...that "fit" and supported our unique presentation...which turns out is not so unique but grossly underrecognized and unacknowledged by most celiac experts.

But,  I have to admit that even I have not read EVERYTHING in The Gluten File! I do think its a great collection of data, though  :P .

If you've been reading Braintalk you probably know my story, but in case anyone else is curious, you can find it second post here:

Anyone who feels so inclined might want to add their own entry, even if you don't have the time to take on an additional forum. I believe we can learn from each others experiences!

I also believe the more forums the merrier...the more people we can reach. What I find rewarding about Braintalk is that it is this huge umbrella forum of hundreds of neurological, neuromuscular, neuropyschiatric diseases...so we can reach so many people with neurological disease who would never in a million years think of gluten as the culprit...especially when it stands alone without any gut evidence of celiac disease.

This seems like a friendly place. I may pop in and read from time to time! We call it 'boarding around'...lol!

Welcome Cara - nice to see you post over here. I can't believe I haven't seen Al pop in yet... :)

Anyway, always good to help more people make connections, especially about non-Celiac gluten intolerance.

Take care!

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many...

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. ...

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve...

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices...

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our...
