I would hope DNA testing in the future wouldn't turn out like how it did in the mvie Gattaca.

I thought it interesting that one of the people who underwent the stomach surgery mentioned that she could eat cabbage, but still had a hard time digesting white bread. Hello, haven't ANY of these people ever heard of celiac????????!!!!! :blink:

For anybody who follows this link: It will bring you to the main site, you have to click on the left on 'Health News' to get to the article.

Well, what caught my eye is, that 'white bread is hard to digest', and another said that ice cream is giving her trouble!

Sounds to me like they have a gene causing celiac disease, which causes stomach cancer in the end. Maybe this gene is another, as yet unidentified celiac disease gene?

My mother's mother died of stomach cancer when my mother was 20. And my mother (who had all the same symptoms as me) died at the age of 66 of liver cancer. And my dad, who also had celiac disease symptoms (now that I understand I recognize them) died of liver cancer at the age of 74. Neither of them drank, a glass of wine or champagne on a special occasion, or a bottle of beer (for my dad) about once every two weeks was all they ever had.

Will I now say I have a gene for liver cancer? Not likely. But if I wouldn't have found out about celiac disease now, and went on the gluten-free diet, I would likely have met the same fate as my parents or my grandmother.

Most of my seven siblings (if not all) have digestive problems. All but one deny it is possible they have celiac disease, as they don't want to give up their bread. I am very afraid they will all end up dying of cancer sooner or later, just like our parents. That idea frightens me, but I can't force them to get tested!

My computer has been down for a while--broken electric circut--but I saw this earlier. I kind of thought the same thing when I read about the white bread vs cabbage! I wonder if they will check for a Celiac connection.

Of course not. In fact I am sure the doctors would be strongly against it. If it was found that the family was actually celiac and had organs removed for nothing can you imagine the law suits.

I'm friends with one of the families that has the gene. The diet they have to follow after the stomach is removed is very restricted. No red meats, very few spices, avoid raw vegetables, nothing carbonated, avoid dairy. Whenever we had sandwiches there they were on Lavash bread. I think they believed yeast was the issue, but it's possible that gluten is just really hard on the intestines.

It also said that they were started on a bland diet. White bread toast has always been the basis of a bland diet...BRAT diet, too (Bananas, rice , applesauce, and toast).

(Hitting myself on the side of the head)--Of course--I didn't think of that ;)

This was on the front page of the local paper this morning -- I only had time to scan it, but I'm glad someone's posted about it because my only thought was -- "Wow -- if this isn't the ultimate example of treating the symptom and not getting to the underlying cause".

Having said that, I'm not sure whether this particular cancer is related to celiac or not -- anyone with more of a medical background able to weigh in on this?

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
