I hope I don't offend any of the very well informed people on this here message board by this post, becuase I really do appreciate all of the info i've gotten here over the past few days.

I am looking for medical explainations of celiac disease. Detailed medical descriptions incuding:

the process of what happens after ingestion of gluten and in what order. What are the 'this always happens' things, and what are the 'may happen' things?

sure, blood tests and biopsies are used to test, but what is it all about? What causes the immune response? What causes damage to organs? What are the causes and effects that lead to the neurological problems, and cancer?

oh, and how i love to read clinical studies.

all the info here is interesting and a great start, but i need to delve more deeply into the details.

seems to me lots of you know lots of stuff. where'd you all educate yourselves?

anyone want to suggest some reading?

thanks

I would suggest getting your hands on a copy of 'Dangerous Grains' I've gotten 2 copies off of an internet auction site used and cheap and I am sure it is available in some bookstores and libararies.

I know some very knowledgeable people will be on to answer your questions more fully but essentially in sensitive people the protein gliadin in gluten containing grains acts as a systemic poison.

I'm not offended at all :) I learned everything from reading a lot of various information on celiac disease such as books, web sites, pamphlets, scientific journal articles ect. Here are some articles that may interest you:

This is from another celiac forum, but it should give you plenty of information to start with.

(And if you make it through all of 'em, let me know. I've only read about half so far.)

Dangerous Grains is a good, readable book. All of the medical refs are in the back of the book. It's not very clinical in the reading, though.

use pubmed (www.pubmed.com) and you'll have access to abstracts and some full text articles from all the common peer-revied medical journals. it'll take plenty of searching, but there's plenty in there. google will also find you some good sites, though it'll take a bit of sifting. (I'm afraid I don't have the good sites I've already found bookmarked.)

I agree with Judy in Philly--WOW!!! Perhaps we should all copy this link, paste it in word and give it to every doctor we see. They should be reading what's out there as well. Obviously (as we on this site know) gluten sensitivity is rampant and unfortunately underdiagnosed because the people that can help us (physicians) are not getting the info they need. Thank you, Debbie, for the great info.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
