 "Integris Grove practitioners are informing people about the difference between the two. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for staying healthy. The damage is caused by a reaction to eating foods with gluten, like wheat, barley and rye. Those with celiac experience symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and other stomach issues. Health experts say people who are just gluten intolerant will have similar symptoms to celiac, but their intestine is not damaged by gluten. 
 
"If you just do like a trial of three weeks of no wheat, not just gluten, but no wheat and gluten. If you feel better, then you probably are sensitive," said Aunna Herbst, Integris Medicine Practitioner.
 
Around 20% to 30% of Americans suffer from celiac disease and around 70% to 80% are likely to be gluten sensitive. Celiac is also more commonly found in women. Integris practitioners suggest those who are experiencing symptoms when eating gluten, should see a doctor to get tested. "
 
there are so many things wrong in these statements and it bothers me that this is supposedly a "valid article" and a quote from a "medicine practitioner".??
here are a few:
 
20-30% of the population is not celiac.--1% is. 
 
70-80% of the population is not gluten sensitive. Researchers put it at 6-15%. 
 
and it occurs to me that
I'm probably the only one reading these articles on a Saturday morning  and likely just talking to myself right now.... :D

Watched it and cursed my laptop for playing such sewage.  The commercials are lame too.  This is why there is so much mis-information out there about Celiac.  

 

Got my cheaters...I CAN SEEEEEE.  :D

Yeah, very inaccurate article.

BlessedMommy Rising Star

Wow, so according to the article, roughly 100% of Americans should be gluten free. LOL! :)

      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.

      What exactly are you taking from doterra?

      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?

      Doterra is a life saver and yes I feel like im waiting because Im getting yes you are celiac, no your not celiac. Im so FRUSTRATED, exhausted and tired of explaining to medical why I feel this way.Im stressed because my body isn't feeling well.Yes I am and no it's not just a food allergy as downplayed with doctors Ive seen.I even went to the " celiac  specialist " Dr Fernandez-Becker who down played my ailments and stated im not and then yes I am I even had one her " care team" ask my why do you want that diagnosis. UNMMMMM. I don't want it, its been my life confirmed in 1994.Menopause intensified extra sensitivity and medical has down played my sibo, ibs, CELIAC, now im having skin and eye issues. I thought help was available but its been a complete medical disaster.
