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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot! 
    • trents
      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
