my hubby was talking to a collegue the other day who mentioned that she was C, my hubby got chatting to her and she mentioned that she had a prob with some canned fish, she worked out that some canned fish have G in them, why? cos fish farms feed the fish there on gluten and it causes probs further down the food chain. she gave him the advice that to allways buy canned fish that is marked WILD.\has anyone heard of this one? it shocked the hell out of me as i eat a lot of canned fish as its so quick.

Doesn't make sense to me. Unless it's added to the canned fish, I don't think it would matter what the fish ate. I usually eat Alaskan salmon, which is wild, when I eat canned fish, but ... still makes no sense to me.

I have seen canned chicken with "wheat starch" listed as an ingredient in addition to the chicken (the brand sold in bulk at Costco in fact). Maybe there are some canned tunas/salmons with the same?

Also, with farmed fish you just never know what you are going to get, so i agree it is best to stick with Wild. But always read labels and check with the company when in doubt.

I haven't found a canned fish that I can eat yet. Tried the health food stuff, just water, wild, etc. still got sick.

I guess I've been lucky ... I eat Kroger brand red salmon. It's wild. Just salmon, water, and maybe salt (I don't have a can in the pantry right now), and it never gives me trouble. I don't like the farmed fish because of the mercury and other toxins.

I do read every label, even on things I would think are gluten-free, so I would have caught additives.

If you're talking tuna, I've seen some cans with "broth", which could easily contain gluten.

As to farmed fish, I would not touch this with a ten foot pole. It is nasty in so many ways, antibiotics, hormones, AND higher heavy metal/pesticide toxicity. I only eat fresh.

sorry, I'm with the others... who would want to eat fish out of a can. But, of course, I'm on the coast, but you can get fresh tuna, salmon everwhere....cannned stuff is aweful.

Oh rub it in why don't you!!! I'm in a land locked state, in the middle in a small town in fact. I have to drive 2 hours at least to get something flown in that day. But I've never had a problem with Chicken of the Sea tuna in water.

Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel bad. :unsure: Come East, and we'll go fish'n.

Soft Shell Crabs are in season. Let me know and I will have some shipped to you on ice, FRESH.

Dip them in a scrambled egg and dredge them in cornbread and fry in a hot iron skillet..........oooh too good.

E-me with your address, or I will get it from Karen and send you some......but you got to be up to the Southern Cook. Can you make the grade? :):) It will ruin you forever.

Flondly, Lisa

I only eat wild fish and never touch anything thats been farmed. It has nothing to do with gluten....farmed fish is just bad ...period. I'd rather eat fresh fish than anything from a can. Fresh wild fish is the way to go IMO. :)

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
