Research on Celiac in Children

Do you know of any good/reliable research about the causes of celiac in children? My daughter is positive, but my son has tested negative at the moment so I am keen to find out more about this.

I saw one of the other posters post this. If you will continue feeding your negative child wheat, consider only Horgan if products, less likely to face glyphosate and eliminate exposure to it.

"Celiac disease is associated with reduced levels of Enterococcus, Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus in the gut and an overgrowth of pathogenic gram negative bacteria (Sanz et al., 2011; Di Cagno et al., 2011; Collado et al., 2007). In (Di Cagno et al., 2011), Lactobacillus, Enterococcus and Bifidobacteria were found to be significantly lower in fecal samples of children with celiac disease compared to controls, while levels of the pathogens, Bacteroides, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, a Shighella were elevated. In (Collado et al., 2007)"

There is a strong connection between diet and bacteria and inflammation. In ibs people tend to have lower t-regs and increased intestinal permeability. This matches with different types of bacteria in the gut.  This as well as a virus and genetics may be the key players in determining if someone develops celiac disease.

Sorry I should have proofread. Organic not Horgan if.

I’m at the point now at 42 thinking I may have contracted tick born illnesses like lyme at 4. Never treated for it. I have arthritis similar to lyme arthritis. Getting worse as I get older. 

I didn’t gain weight in K. 

lyme also affects gut bacteria. Some believe 80% of population will have lyme in 10 years. 

one study did connect mono contraction to starting celiac gene. 

I got chicken pox at 9 and know my sharp gut pains I can remember were after that.

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
