Villi Damage From Other Food Intolerances?

This is interesting. Though, I was wondering when these foods - soy, milk, corn- when the proteins have been dabbled with, like in hydrolyzed soy protein, calcium caseinate, and hydrolyzed corn protein, are THESE examples of ingredients which are causing problems.

The reason why I ask: When gluten is created, it comes from proteins from wheat which have been dabbled with by man.

FYI - gluten isn't created by man - it is found naturally in wheat, rye & barley.  There is something called "wheat gluten for baking" that is just purely the gluten portion of wheat.  It is sometimes added to baked items (not gluten free ones).  I guess that would up the percentage of gluten in  a piece of bread.

I didn't care who answered. Thank you for responding.

I am working from a smartphone, so I am limited in my ability to search your site.

Wikipedia offers an explanation of gluten. Under the section called "Extraction" it goes through a method which is far from "natural". Your explanation seems similar to what Campbell's Soups says about Yeast Extract. I am not convinced either are "natural". Food ingredients are confusing when trying to differentiate between what is ok and what isn't.

Do you or does anyone else know if gluten-sufferers react to other protein extracted ingredients like hydrolyzed soy/corn protein or calcium caseinate?

Thank you again for responding so quickly.

Anyone can have an issue with any food, Celiac or not. Celiac disease is an autoimmune reaction to the gluten proteins gliadin and glutenin - that's what we refer to as gluten. celiac is not a reaction to milk or soy or corn - processed or not. Are those processed things good for anyone? Who knows.

I will then try to find answers else where since you don't know. I figured you would be as good of person to ask since you have moderated this site for so long to accumulate so many posts.

Also, I never figured a react to corn or soy to be applicable to all gluten sufferers. I just wanted to know if you (or anyone) seen a relationship to other excitotoxins AND gluten.

I have been gathering information on MSG and Other Excitotoxins since 1999. In 2005, I met a young lad with celiac disease. His parents said if the doctors hadn't catch it in time, he might not have reached d his twentieth birthday. At that time a loaf of bread cost them $40. Looking back, I still can't fathom the insanity.

I know issues with gluten are real. I also see the food industry using gluten and other diseases to sidestep that need to eliminate MSG and Other Excitotoxins from our food, drugs, and consumer products.

I am looking for answers like many of you.

This is a question that I have had as well. I went from eating any and everything I wanted with no problems (although I has upset stomachs a lot growing up). Then I started having mild pain in my hands over the course of 2-3 years (tingling and sensitive), and then in March of 2012 it went full-blown crazy. My hands were hurting terribly, then it moved to my wrists, knees, hips, and other parts of the body. It was then that I realized that the food I was eating was causing much of this pain. After removing dairy, gluten, nightshades, corn, and eggs, along with other foods that came up in a IGG blood test, my pain got better. To this day, I am not sure about the blood test, but I do know that food is causing my problems. I had an upper endoscopy done last summer, and my villi were normal (I'd been off gluten for about 7 months). This makes me think that the other foods I'm eating are causing damage to the villi. However, my stomach lining was reddish and explained as gastritis. So perhaps the foods I am eating are causing inflammation in the lining of my GI tract even though it isn't necessarily damaging my villi? I don't know. I am eating as healthy as possible, and trying to gain weight (which isn't happening). I have a malabsorption issue and wonder if some of the foods I'm still eating are playing a role in preventing healing.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
