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.

      Need advice for some relief!

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      I am surprised that your doctor would not diagnose based on sight? I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis but the biopsy came back negative. The dermatologist said that can happen as the disease was not active at the time, but it was classic dermatitis herpetiformis in his opinion especially since I was already diagnosed with celiac several years prior to the dermatitis herpetiformis flare up. Like many on the dermatitis herpetiformis threads I suffered from itchy burning lesions on my elbows. Very painful when I was in the shower. Dermatologist prescribed dapsone gel 7.5%. There is a pill option but I wanted to first try the topical gel and it eased the burning sensation and after a few weeks got rid of the visible signs of dermatitis herpetiformis. I only use it when my dermatitis herpetiformis is active. I recently had a flare up but had the dapsone gel available and it quickly eased the itchy burning skin on both elbows (which is where I usually get dermatitis herpetiformis). I was also told to avoid iodine and of course gluten.

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      I have celiac and I have been gluten free for several years. Very careful and as far as I know I have never consumed gluten. Recently my bowel movements changed dramatically and I have been Bristol 6 for two months and just now moving to Bristol 5. My GI ran all sorts of blood tests and all were good. The celiac panel test for tTG IgA came back at 13.6 (normal <15). My GI said that is normal. Is that normal for someone on a gluten free diet? I am wondering if I did Ingest gluten and the Bristol 6 stools, the abdominal pain, and nausea are all a result of eating gluten. The GI does not think so since I was at 13.6...or in his words "normal". He wants to do endoscopy, biopsy, colonoscopy, because he is concerned it may be something more serious. Could this just be a case of gluten "poisoning"? I feel like my bowel movements are slowly normalizing but still having some issues.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
