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.

this interview might be easier to understand:

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?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
