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.

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.

      thank you Scott! This is very helpful. I have a message out to my doctor and i think this guide will help me interpret the results! its very thorough.
