Cross contamination

Endoscopy shown flattened mucosa consistent with celiac. One problem that celiac seems to hit me with is inflamed intestines with lots of bloating, but I have never really gotten sick to my stomach. Maybe a little nauseous from time to time. I have read that many suffer from minor cross contamination my brother for example is celiac and does not really get sick from cross-contamination. But my question is how does cross contamination affect the intestines? Would it set my progress back even if I don’t get sick? Thanks

Cross-contamination with gluten can still cause damage to the intestines even if you don't feel immediate symptoms. For those with celiac disease, any exposure to gluten can trigger an immune response that leads to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining, which can hinder your progress and overall health. It's crucial to maintain strict gluten-free practices to prevent long-term complications and support intestinal healing, even if you don't experience obvious symptoms.

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.):

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
