I just got the below link from google alerts. I can't figure out the source of the article. I think we need to bombard this publication with letters. There are errors that are ridiculous, such as:

"in the US is 1 in 250"

"a simple blood test can determine if you have Celiac Disease" (oh, if it were ALWAYS a simple blood test!)

"there is another treatment......immunosupressive drugs or steroids can be used to treat Celiac"

This article really makes me mad. The person who wrote this obviously didn't do much research.

"The disease usually affects Caucasians"

no, Celiac does not discriminate. In fact the highest per capita incidents of Celiac is in North Africa

Hi Guys!

Anybody know what the stats really are? I mean I heard 1 on 300 and then I heard 1 in 1500 have this disease. Anything I've seen is pretty diverse.

There were some inaccuracies.

But I do like that they said this:

"Doctors need to be Aware of the Condition"

and this:

"...one bite of pizza or a teaspoon of flour can ignite a response from the immune system. This can also cause damage to the small intestine and ultimately other organs."

According to a study by Dr. Fassano at the University of Maryland in Baltimore (www.celiaccenter.org)

1 in 133 for not at risk groups

1 in 22 for 1st degree relatives

1 in 39 in 2nd degree relatives

1 in 56 of symptomatic patients

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      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.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
