hi, guys!

it's your buddy Laurel with another alcohol question.

my sister got Connie Sarros's (sp?) lower calorie gluten-free cookbook for Christmas and i was reading in it today. it was published last year, so i don't think it's a question of outdated information. she claims that we have to be careful with imported wines, because, although American wines are generally not fortified, many non-domestics have non-grape ingredients added to them (making them fortified).

we had an italian pinot grigio with dinner tonight and i read the label and all it says is contains sulfites (which i know is a problem for some here). but do i now really have to start worrying about wine? it's just confusing, because this summer my dietitian (who was fairly clueless about things gluten-free) told me to drink American wine only unless i called manufacturers of foreign wines because "they add other ingredients to the wine and don't have the regulatory processes we do here." this sounds like crazy talk to me. please help? i've been drinking domestic and imported for months now and haven't noticed anything... what is all this fortification talk?

Very interesting!! I have had some issues with some wines. I wasn't quite sure if it was just alcohol or the wine... but issues anyway. I am intersted to see what others have to say.

hahahaha! italian and french wines have - in many cases - stricter restrictions than US wines. sulfites aren't an additive, they are naturally a part of the grapes and processing, though organic wines are apparently MUCH lower in sulfites, if those bother you. in general, no, wines aren't a problem. I might avoid cheap wines, worrying about fillers, but a good quality wine, according to the vintners I've talked to (two different vineyards where I "know" (friend of a friend), a good wine does not have additives.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      Well, it certainly seems reasonable to get checked for Crohn's since you have a family member with it and SIBO. You might also consider talking to your physician about a trial on an immunosuppressant, like prednisone, to see if numbers go down and symptoms subside. Sometimes, just interrupting the inflammatory cycle can effect a reset and put you on the road to health.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I am wondering how you developed this supplementation regimen? Was it just through trial and error? Did you base this trial and error on blood tests or symptom improvement? It cost me $300 for the blood tests, so I would prefer not to do those regularly
