New Article On Celiac Disease

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."

Here's a good stat sheet:

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

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
