To All,

I recently came across this new research that show Environmental Toxins can increase the risks of Celiac disease in Children?

Could this also be happening in Adults?

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-09-highly-fluorinated-chemicals-diabetes-coeliac.html

Have they found an Environmental trigger for Celiac disease and if so what can people do about it if anything?

I know Celiac.com will write a more exhaustive article about it soon.....I just wanted to get it out there for people to comment on and provide feedback too!

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

You know, it seems every substance known to humanity has been implicated in some potential health risk. It's impossible to avoid everything and be alive. I think it comes down to avoiding the worst of them in so far as is reasonable and possible. Often, the same substances that benefit us in one way harm us in another. Now that our technology and industry have removed the specter of starvation for most of us, we can turn our attention to the finer details of health problems. Sorry, a bit of a rant.

Here is the actual paper.

However, correlation does not always equal causation.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
