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.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
