Celiac Disease Or Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity?

I thought this part of the study was interesting. It brings to light how some people can go gluten-free except for their beer and they still feel better. I'd like to read more studies on Celiac vs NCGS.

"Whereas celiac disease subjects should maintain a lifelong, strict GFD and limit their exposure to gluten to foods containing less than 20 parts per million (13,14,15) NCGS subjects can be more liberal and titrate their exposure to gluten as needed to avoid symptoms."

I think it depends on how sensitive the NCGS person is. I think there are a few here that are pretty sensitive.

I think it depends on how sensitive the NCGS person is. I think there are a few here that are pretty sensitive.

At this point, I've not yet read something that was inclusive of everyone. There are too many variables. Most articles I've read discuss the impossibility of differentiating between the two by symptoms alone. My husband also reacts but it's a three-day affair that doesn't bowl him over like it does me. He is not as sensitive but he couldn't just eat limited amount of gluten and who is to say who has what without going through testing that has it's own set of challenges. I also have a friend who has DH and she cheats occasionally. This has bothered me but I wonder if (hope) she'd be okay in doing that. She itches if she's had gluten more than once in a few day's time and knows how much she can get away with eating. The articles I've read contradict each other about DH. I read one once that put it as a separate gluten-related disorder than Celiac or NCGS. Others classify it under one or the other. It's interesting to me how much changes as research continues on in this area. I have to check the dates when I read a study or article. The doctors and researchers in this field must never be bored.

I've never been able to square away how some people can reduce gluten intake (not eliminate it) and feel better just from reducing it.

p.s. And what about the articles that say NCGS can lead to autoimmune conditions? Wouldn't that make eating any gluten at all a risky proposition for someone with NCGS?

I think some of this depends on why you are NCGI.  Researchers are currently looking at lots of different reasons for it.  A big one they have found is FODMAPS.  Because wheat is a high FODMAP food, eliminating it makes many people's GI symptoms better.  These people can actually eat wheat but they must balance it with other high FODMAP foods.  So, for these people, a few wheat crumbs from taking a burger off a bun isn't a big deal.

 

Something for you to google and look into.  Just pick reputable websites - like medical centers - for your info.

The leading celiac centers say DH IS Celiac .Period....and she is just putting herself at risk for serious complications. Shes not getting away with anything. If she has active lesions, she is in full autoimmune flare up from eating gluten. Those take up to 2 years to die down.

I do but I'm pretty sure I was hoping that wasn't the case and sought to find info that countered it. I guess that doesn't work... that's depressing. She is very active in life and believes confirmation bias & planting that seed can cause dis-ease ---> disease. Oh well. If there's an opening in the conversation at some point, I'll slide it in, otherwise I'll just be wasting my energy. She doesn't want to know about it.

It was a medical website that listed it as separate but I guess the Celiac centers would be the most reliable resource. Really I've categorized resources as primary, secondary and tertiary but I guess the Celiac centers would be "expert/primary". Thanks for pointing out the distinction.

"Five reasons exist as to why someone might feel better on a gluten-free diet. It’s crucial to understand which of the five is the cause in order to implement a safe dietary program....."

Thanks for that. I just read about the FODMAPS connection last night but not on a medical website. That is good to know!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  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.):

      Is this celiac?

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
