Is 37 people considered a large enough group for a study?

I figured the bread companies go to the guy (^_^)

I laughed at their final line. I hope that people with real gluten issues don't go and say, "Oh I read an article that said that unless I had confirmed celiac disease, science has confirmed that I can now chow down on the bread!" 

 

That would be a disaster.

 

I hope that this study serves as a springboard for larger studies.

I have some thoughts: 

If you have a real sensitivty to gluten, you would get serious symptoms from eating it.

If you get serious symptoms from eating gluten, would you enroll in a study where you might be fed gluten?

This study would select for people who do not have a real sensitivity to gluten.

^^^EXACTLY!

And 3 days on one meal plan is enough before *immediately* switching to another?  They barely had time to get the food out of their system!

I think that it's hilariously funny (in a kind of sad way) that they've said that it's been "thoroughly proven that gluten sensitivity doesn't exist." 

 

A study of 37 people (most of which probably didn't have severe issues if they were willing to be guinea pigs for gluten) is not a thorough proof that an entire medical condition doesn't exist.

 

I have real issues with gluten and I would NEVER sign up for a study like that! Even if they signed a form saying that they would pay my ER bills.  :P

If it takes weeks of gluten consumption for enough antibodies to be present for celiac testing to work, why would this guy think that nine days would be enough for his study?

I agree that those who do have serious reactions would be MUCH less likely to participate in such a study. I know I wouldn't do it.

It seems to me as if this study has done more harm than good when it comes to learning more about non-celiac reactions to wheat.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
