Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then). -

In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps... -

Celiac Disease Linked to Neanderthal Ancestry
From the original post: "Some indicate negative effects, with putative links to various diseases as measured by genome-wide association studies (Sankararaman et al. 2014. Simonti et al. 2016)." ---> The links in the original post lead to a different article. I think these might be the correct links: "The landscape of Neandertal ancestry in present...- celiac

Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy
The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...- autoimmune

i have mentioned my boyfriend before, particularly pertaining to how supportive and cautious he has been since my diagnosis in june 2025. constantly cooking amazing gluten free meals for me, reading labels like a hawk, keeping me safe. but a new challenger has approached recently. he has been hired at kfc. he's not just a front-of-house cashier or anything, he is cooking in the back, getting covered in flour. obviously this is quite the hurdle for both of us to deal with. but this is the positive part. he changes out of his uniform after his shift and places his contaminated clothes in a plastic bag, and thoroughly washes his hands, arms and face in the bathroom. then said bag is placed in the boot of our car, far away from me. he doesn't touch me or set foot near me until he's clean and knows he won't contaminate me or the car. and tonight, after his tiring shift cooking gluten chicken, he took it upon himself to make us an amazing orange and thyme roast chook with rice flour gravy for dinner. it was incredible. i'm just lost for words lol, and just wanted to make this post gushing about him because he truly is the love of my life. and to those out there who are trying for love, i know it's corny, but there truly are plenty of fish in the sea. put yourself out there. you are more worthy than you could ever know. it took me a long time to realise that myself, but with enough patience you can come to terms with loving yourself enough to feel as though you deserve love. don't give up, and please never forget to surround yourself with those that love and value you. much luck. -

Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently. In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects. Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan. I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant. Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control. Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160. Last few days its been below 100. I still need Glimiperide. Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60. Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency. https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/ -

@BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
