      7yo struggling!

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      For people of European ancestry, 2% is about average, depending on which study you look at. For Asian ancestry it can be higher. For full Sub-Saharan African ancestry it is zero, but in practice they tend to have trace amounts due to migration back into Africa. While each individual may have 1-3% Neanderthal DNA, it is not always the same DNA that is Neanderthal. Estimates are 20-70% for which parts of the human genome might be Neanderthal in any given individual. Another way of saying this is that 20-70% of the Neanderthal genome survives in the human population. The HLA genotypes that confer susceptibility to celiac (necessary but not sufficient) are known to be of human in origin. There are some other genes known to be associated with a higher probability for getting celiac (with the right HLA genotype) that are associated with Neanderthal DNA. However, there is no correlation between quantity of Neanderthal DNA and probability of getting celiac. Neanderthal DNA is associated with other autoimmune diseases. Lupus, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are probably the most strongly associated diseases.

      I believe most of us have tiny but still traceable neanderthal components in our DNA. If you have 2% it is considered high. It would be interesting to test the DNA of those with coeliacs and other autoimmune conditions to see whether we have a high neanderthal percentage. ? Sue

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you @suek54!  @trents she did mention doing it and asked if I had any of the little bumps left. I only had a few on my feet which I can feel but they are not very visible. She couldn't really see them but I said it was okay for her to touch me and when she did, she said she could feel them. My feet in particular were covered in them a few weeks ago but I now have very few left. I can still feel them slightly on the backs of my calves. I should have taken photographs but looking at my skin for the last year, well, I just haven't been able to, I found it too upsetting.  I think she just was in no doubt that all my symptoms matched dermatitis herpetiformis. My gastro symptoms (now also getting much better) seemed to confirm it for her. She was satisfied that my new diet is the cure and was very impressed that I am already taking all the vitamins and minerals that she would usually recommends. Actually, except Turmeric - does any take that? I am not sure what it does so will look into that today.  She has given me an 'open' appointment for 6 months time (I guess that means I can cancel it if I feel that I don't need it by then).

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Dutch processing (alkalization) reduces the polyphenols!   Do check the labels on cocoa powder and avoid those stating it has been through Dutch processing. Hershey's and Nestles don't use Dutch processing.   Ghirardelli's does use Dutch processing.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By suek54 · Posted

      Hi Ginger38,  Huge sympathies, so very hard to do alone. Are there any groups locally where you could meet others face to face to share your struggles and to encourage each other with diet? I'm a foodie too and love baking. I found it very hard facing the fact that I could never again eat homemade bread still warm from the oven or cakes or pastry. I tried a few gluten free recipes but they were pretty miserable by comparison and I gave up. Lately however I have gone back to it and am finding a few recipes which are pretty good to eat and enjoyable to make. . (For what its worth, I  think the secret is finding a good general purpose gluten free flour and embracing the use of xanthem gum) If you can find just one gluten free receipe you can make and enjoy, it might just help you break out of the struggle you are in?  Sometimes though, you simply have to ask for help to get you through the tough times...a friend, a neighbour, a doctor, a work colleague? I hope you find someone to help. Sue
