How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

Prolamins are a type of protein found in cereal grains. Different cereal grains contain different types of prolamins, which are named based on the grain they originate from. 

Here's a breakdown by grain: 

Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin.

Barley: The prolamin is called hordein.

Rye: The prolamin is called secalin.

Corn: The prolamin is called zein.

Oats: The prolamin is called avenin.

Rice: The prolamin is called oryzenin.

Sorghum: The prolamin is called kafirin.

Prolamins are a major component of cereal storage proteins and are known for their high proline and glutamine content and can get celiacs and non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals sick.

I think your question needs clarification. Are you asking who gets sick from consuming some of these prolamins are all of them? Everyone in the celiac/gluten sensitive community will get sick from consuming gliadin, hordein and secalin. Some will also get sick from consuming avenin. Apparently, some don't do well with any of them.

Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these:

  • Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin.
  • Barley: The prolamin is called hordein.
  • Rye: The prolamin is called secalin.

Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance):

  • Oats: The prolamin is called avenin.

I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed:

  • Corn: The prolamin is called zein.

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      I have Celiac, and I just found out that HCTZ has gluten in it, and also makes you severely constipated versus diarrrhea!!  I need another medicene for blood pressure that is certified gluten free, without the 20 ppm, and doesn't cause constipation, please!!

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
