Report on Gluten Free Foods & Beverages Market (2019) gives complete outlook of ... non-celiac patients with more number of new product introductions in ... Awareness of Celiac Disease and Gluten – Intolerance Consumers 3.1.2 ... View the full article
Okay, thanks. Re: MTHFR - I don't really know yet... I only started reading about it yesterday and it is pretty overwhelming. But it does seem to be common advice that if you have a close relative with it you should be tested, and I guess having 2 copies of the "C" variant, as my sister has, is the "worst" variety of it. It came to light for her when she was going through infertility and miscarriages. They discovered that her homocysteine was high, which led to the MTHFR testing. So that is one thing I know I would then want to proceed to do, if I do have it - get my homocysteine tested. My dad died of early-onset Alzheimer's, and apparently there is a link between high homocysteine as well as the MTHFR mutation and Alzheimer's. It also seems like it would be worth knowing if I have it since it could be the cause of my lower levels of B12. And I guess maybe I would need to start taking methyl-folate? I mean, to answer your question, I am not entirely sure what I will do if I do have it. Probably read a lot more about it... and take supplements like methyl-folate if I really think I need to. Check my homocysteine & control that if I need to, hopefully to lower my risk of Alzeheimer's. It seems like a frustrating area because there appear to be limited official medical websites that really even talk much about it (so far). I have found one article on the NIH that focuses on the link with high homocysteine. I already eat a very healthy diet. Whole grains, lots of fruit & veg, mostly organic. I am a vegetarian except for very rare seafood. I avoid processed food and, above all, foods with added sugar... To me, sugar is by far the worst culprit in the SAD. I think RA has been ruled out by my 2 negative Rheumatoid Factor tests (one done several years ago, one just this year at my physical). Also, the way this started in my elbows, and was really only there for years, is just... weird... and definitely doesn't really fit with arthritis. And there is no swelling to speak of, just mild pain - sometimes aching, sometimes burning, sometimes sharp... It may or may not fit with any systemic diagnosis versus a mechanical one, but nowadays I do also have pain in my hands, feet, and knees. So then I think, well maybe it is/was something systemic, but it was worse in my elbows for some mechanical reason but now has progressed elsewhere. I thought Crohn's was just digestive? (Of course, many people think that of celiac.) So I haven't really investigated that one much. My ANA was retested and is back down to "negative," so I think that pretty much rules out lupus. I believe fibromyalgia is still on the table. Anyhow.... Your point is nonetheless taken. I do want to rule out celiac and go from there. At this point I'd sure love to find out it is something I could control through my diet! -
