The glue foods theory, and Celiacs in Dogs

This is on lactose intolerance by country dated 2022. Fits into that theory about what people traditionally ate. The least lactose intolerant countries are in Europe.  When you think about how long Indians have been eating wheat it's about half the amount of time that Europeans have. So with the theory I have about traditional foods of different cultures being linked to the current intolerances of those cultures it still makes sense that Indians would have a higher rate of celiacs.  I was surprised that Indians haven't been eating grains for longer because wheat originated 75, 000 years ago near Iraq which isn't right next to India but still I'd think it would have made its way over sooner. I guess transportation was much more difficult for so long than what it has been in the last hundred years though.

The neadranthal idea fits into thinking that what people's ancestors ate traditionally may effect their bodies ability to tolerate what they eat today. Wouldn't it he nice if celiacs blood testing was routine for everyone? If that was the case I would have been saved years of suffering. Also then people wouldn't act like it's just some dieting fad. Even I was in such denial for so many years. I had a room mate with celiacs but I just didn't think I could have it. Things had to get progressively worse for me to realize. The health problems I've had that were persistent before I figured it out make sense now, and all I can do is be thankful I figured it out at all.

Routine testing for celiac disease of children entering school is being done in Italy and perhaps other European countries. The problem with that is that you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. So testing school-aged children will still miss a lot of people. The other problem with it is that children's immune systems are immature so there may be false positives and false negatives.

Yeah. They should just make it a standard blood work up at yearly check ups. That would maybe lead to some clues on why people develop it later on in life when they do as well. I honestly think I've had it since I was a kid though.  Just didn't know what was happening.  I had skin issues young. The kids would make fun if me because I already had acne all over my face at 7 years old.

If you look at Native Americans they got wheat in their diets only in the last ~500 years or less...probably closer to the last 100-200 years. I've not seen many good studies done on celiac disease prevalence among Native Americans, but going from memory do recall one study that indicated that up to 6% of them could have celiac disease. More research needs to be done to find the actual rate.

      It took me 5 years to get one of my celiac antibodies down into the normal range.  A few years later it went up to a low positive. I had started baking with a certain gluten free flour. When I switched to a certified gluten free flour the antibody level went back down to normal. Has anything changed in your diet, supplements, kitchen, etc. that might correlate with the increase?

      Quick follow up: with strict "home-only" eating, how does this apply to drinks (soda/tea at a restaurant or coffee at Starbucks)? Would you avoid these as well? At times when I know I can't eat something when I'm out with friends, I will just order a drink, but is that okay (for this time period while I'm being strict)?

      Hello, My daughter (almost 13) was diagnosed with celiac 1.5 years ago. I also have celiac and gluten ataxia so we are on this journey together. In another post, I mentioned how my AGA IgA has not really gone down even though my ttg IgA is down in normal range, and a biopsy one year ago showed my villi were healed/basically normal. My daughter's GI is concerned that her antibody levels are not going down fast enough (they dropped drastically the first year and she grew three inches, but they have slowed the past 6-9 months and her growth has plateaued). Doctor is concerned that she will not grow to her full height if she doesn't get her levels down as low as possible before her...

      I’ve had both but without salt. The Tierra Farm had a little more flavor, although the almonds were a bit smaller and maybe a tiny bit tougher.
