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.

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if they have refractory disease or delayed healing. Keeping close follow-up with your GI and possibly revisiting your diet for hidden gluten sources could help. Hang in there—it’s a journey, and you’re doing great by staying proactive!

      hi, how are u now? any answers?
    • mermaidluver22
      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
