DHC — Mystery Diagnosis

Lethal Diet

Parents Ed and Jane try to figure out why their son, Alex, is so unsteady on his feet, and why he has recurring sinus infections. A 31-year-old woman begins gaining weight and complaining of oily skin, hair loss, body cramps, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Sounds like it! To bad I dont have cable...

They will be airing "Like Mother Like Son" on April 9, at 1PM--this was the Celiac episode that has been on before. The "Lethal Diet" sounds good--I wonder if it will also involve Celiac?

It was ok--it was the story of a little boy, who would go into a trance-like state. The gluten was affecting him that way, and even though his mom is a Celiac, he was not tested for quite a while. Once off gluten, he thrived, and is fine today. His story is very atypical--I didn't even realize they were talking about Celiac at the beginning. On the same episode, there is a story of a woman who had a heart problem--her symptoms, and personal problems leading up to her diagnosis looked more like my Celiac experience! :blink:

Yea--it definately focuses on the neurologic symptom--although they do have doctors talking more about Celiac towards the end of the segment. I think it would be interesting for anyone here--each individual story is only 20 min. long--they did 3, if I remember correctly, on this episode. I plan on tivo-ing the "Fatal Diet" episode--it sounds good!

I know--no yard work today :D

did anyone watch it tonight?

I'm taping at 12:30 now and still not sure this is it???

well, with the camel hump, maybe cushings..?

another comercial..do i sound bored here :angry: ah well..took me 15 years to get dx'd so maybe this long show isn't too bad. :)

Yep, it's cushings, I was tested for that but during the 7 days 24/7 urine collection (fun to do at work) they LOST ONE OF THE JUGS, so said, heck with it...Interesting.

Have to see what my cordisol levels are Hummm???

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
