Celiac Disease Help

Celiac disease is a disorder, resulting from an immune response to Gluten, it is an autoimmune disease.  Gluten is comprised of two Proteins and Carbohydrates.  The two proteins are Glutelin (Glutenin) and Gliadin.  Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley, oats and many other foods.

The protein Gliadin is responsible for many food derived pathogens and inflammatory responses that cause illness and abnormal conditions.  In a normal health body, the proteins in Gluten are destroyed, in the stomach, by the action of strong Hydrochloric acid and the Peptic enzymes. When the Peptic enzymes are not active, in the conversion of proteins, because of weak Hydrochloric acid, the allergenic proteins are dumped into the small bowel.  This premature dumping, of raw nutrients into the small bowel, results in an autoimmune response.

Gliadin in the Gluten, causes the activation of Zonulin, a small protein molecule, produced in the body. Zonulin, when activated, opens up the intracellular spaces, between the cells, of the intestines. The more Zonulin molecules are activated, the larger the spaces between the cells, will be. Increasing the intracellular spaces, will allow larger molecules, of nutrients, to pass through the intestinal lining, into the blood stream.

Gliadin and the activation of Zonulin will lead to sever diseases, of the intestinal tract mucosa, in adults and children. Gluten sensitivity appears in 1 of every 300 births.  In children the incidence of Celiac disease is calculated at 90 to 100%.  In adults the disease is calculated at 75 to 90%. Autoimmune response, from Gliadin and Zonulin, in children causes failure to thrive, defects in tooth enamel, lack of proper growth, and a host of other symptoms.  One important indicator, of the onset of Celiac disease in children and adults, is dermatitis herpetiformis (skin rash).

The toxic effect of Gliadin and Zonulin, in the intestinal tract, will lead to intestinal lesions and inflammation. This can cause inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and Cronin's disease, Intestinal Barrier Impairment.

Celiac disease is the result of malabsorption, caused by Hypochlorhydria and Achlorhydria.  Both conditions, stop the eradication of the protein allergens, in Gluten, by eliminating the Peptic enzymes, in the protein conversion process.

The symptoms associated with Hypochlorhydria related celiac disease are, diarrhea and/or constipation, vitamin and mineral deficiency, anemia, abdominal pain, nausea, gas, belching, bloating, osteoporosis, fatigue, flatulence, dermatitis, Intestinal Barrier Impairment, etc.

Hypochlorhydria and Achlorhydria are caused by aging, the use of antibiotics, antihistamines, steroids, Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), excessive use of antacids, alcohol, etc. Both conditions will allow unsterilized and unconverted proteins and nutrients to dump into the small bowel, resulting in an autoimmune response. The symptoms associated with Hypochlorhydria and Achlorhydria are: malabsorption of vitamin B-12, K, D, reduced absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, and other minerals. 

There is a lot more info on the various testing procedures for Celiac disease, search the net for pH gastrogram, pH diagnostic test and pH capsule test.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
