 "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

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

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
