HUGE improvement post breast-implant removal


The Donger

Hi,

My mother says gluten never really agreed with her stomach (just slightly) then around age 50 she started to lose weight and hair. Finally she was diagnosed and avoided gluten and her life got back to 'normal'. Now, at age 67 or so, it has progressed to where if she eats a spec of gluten or washes her hair etc. with a contaminated product she looks 9-months pregnant within about 10 minutes and has excruciating pain that takes days to go away and requires an epi-pen in many cases. She had breast implants removed recently and has since had almost no allergic 'attacks' but still tries to avoid gluten. Before, she would still have one about every week due to changing food ingredients, a moment of weakness or whatever. Now, basically living the same as before she has had maybe 3-4 attacks in the last 5-6 months after having them out. Meanwhile, my wife got implants about 7 years ago and at age 42 now she is noticing that she can't eat bread, pasta, etc. or her stomach swells and her joints get achy. I read and many women have experienced this same phenomenon (either the timing of getting implants or having them removed and improving dramatically). SO, has anyone experienced this or heard stories? Pretty interesting and worth looking into.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
