Is zonulin triggered by milk? I thought it was mainly gliadin.

They do not known exactly  what causes a person to have to much Zonulin (gluten is one suspect).  Celiacs seem to have too much of it.  But since some 1/3 of adults never heal from celiac disease (Open Original Shared Link), we may also never reduce the amounts of zonulin.   That could explain continued intolerances despite being gluten free.  They think it could be one of  the causes for many autoimmune disorders and food intolerances.

p.s.  Recently they found that 20% of kids do not heal when they thought they did:

but....for those worrying, you can feel better.  Working towards complete dietary adherance and stricter laws may be required.  I know that personally, I have never intentionally eaten gluten.  I have never known the source of my  glutenings.    So, I think we need stricter laws and more education.

Cyclinglady...is that true?  2/3 of adults never heal from celiac?  I hadn't heard that, but find it scary!

Sorry, that is 1/3.  But symptoms are reduced or eliminated even if there is still intestinal damage.  The sad news is that they used to think kids always healed but 20% do not per research released this past month.   See my modified post for supporting links.

No lactose or cassein for me. I've gotten to the point that I can handle a teeny bit of cheese every so often, or at least am willing to have a cheese hangover.

I think it's definitely possible that damage from gluten (even getting glutened once or twice a year can indeed have long-lasting consequesnces) is causing IBS symptoms, but the jury's out on that. For now I'm treating it like I have both, and being a: super duper extra careful about possible gluten exposure, b: staying away from my know intolerances, dairy and soy, c: trying to identify other problem foods and things that might trigger IBS symptoms (foods, stress, etc).

I've actually been feeling pretty good in the gut department lately, so that's nice, though it doesn't help me solve the mystery.

Oh, any recommendations for good probiotics that won't break the bank?

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
