Hi Nashville,

I'd love to check out the article, but it came back as "File Not Found".

I'd be grateful if you would see about providing a little more info so that I'll be able to find my way there.

Thanks, and best wishes,

- Henry

Fixed the link, I think.

OK, problem for me: this is derived from aspergillus fungus, which I am allergic to. Not an option for me, I guess.

Now for my question: this article states that celiac is a caucasian disease. Is this really true?

No, I don't think so. North Africans and some Asian groups have high rates of celiac.

It might have been more accurate to describe it as, "a caucasian-diet based" disease...

I'm quoting Dr. Alessio Fasano here, sorry I don't have the link.

". . .this observation has been expanded to other regional areas, including North Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America, where celiac disease is now recognized as a frequent condition affecting approximately 0.5% to 1% of the general population."

". . .The bottom line is that if you search for it, you will find it."

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
