Hi everyone!

I'm just curious about the nationalities of everyone to see how many of you fit the "Northern European" classic, aspect of Celiac Disease, and how many of you are something completely different. I'm wondering because I am Polish and German and a lot of doctors in the begining, wrote off testing for Celiac just because of my background.......

Thanks! :D

About 40% German, 25% Italian, 25% White Russian and then a small hodgepodge.

Finnish, German and a little Swede. No doctor ever thought of testing for Celiac, even with the background. For my kids you have to add Polich and French Canadian.

My younger son is the one in our family with Celiac. His maternal ancestry is Irish (mostly) with a bit of Scottish and Welsh thrown in. On his paternal side they are English and either Irish or Scottish (can't remember) and Grampa supplies us with some Hungarian or Czech (they're not really sure...the surname is Czech, but they spoke Hungarian).

Put us all together and we're Canadian.

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
