Readers Digest And Celiac Disease

I wish I had made note of the issue, but, I was in a Dr. office yesterday with my wife and thumbed thru the Readers Digest in the waiting room.

Celiac Disease was discussed in that issue in the story Top 10 Disease's Doctors Miss, or something very similar. I checked the website, but, nothing came up under a search for Celiac.

It didn't offer much information, but, at least news of the disease is getting out there. The one fact it did mention is that celiac disease is much more common than once thought. This may be a good thing. The more this makes it into the main stream, the more likely we will be to find more food choices in places where there are none or few as of yet.

      Confused about my results

      By trents · Posted

      Exactly what component was indicative of "weak celiac disease"? Is that a reference to the endoscopy results or the whole picture of the results of the blood test combined with the endoscopy results? Villous blunting is the hallmark of celiac disease.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      Of course, what you breathe in eventually winds up in the gut because it gets trapped in the mucous lining of the airway and throat.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By ohmichael · Posted

      hey all thank you for your responses. RMJ: Yes I am going to go and buy some N95 masks for work, and I think my employer will reimburse me. I can't re-use them for the maximum 5 reuses unfortunately because I am very sensitive and when I get home I have to wash all my clothes and immediately take a shower. Thank you for your suggestion! Russ H: I have never been formerly diagnosed, and I completely understand the possibility of this being a mild viral infection. I went to get tested for Influenza/COVID and both came back negative, my Primary Care Manager told me it could be a cold. That is always a possibility, however, I have been glutened at restaurants before (5 known exposures within the last 7 years) and the way in which my body gets sick, I can kind of tell them apart from one another if that makes sense. For instance, being gluten-sick for some can be described as flu-like symptoms, and when I get sick with gluten it comes on slower than when I have the flu or COVID. Typically starts out with headache, brain fog, and since I believe I ingested it working with flour (airborne) postnasal drip was one of the first to come along after my exposure as well. Another thing is that I have not quite had a fever but elevated temp (99 Fahrenheit) which is typical for me when I get ill with gluten exposure, followed by aches, sore body, stomach Hell, etc. This is the first time I have ever dealt with it in an airborne setting, but the onset of symptoms are all familiar. I think it is also possible that I am more susceptible to a cold now having been exposed to gluten. I don't have/can't afford private insurance currently and the agency I get my healthcare from works in dubious ways to prevent themselves from having to provide disability payments to veterans, as Celiacs/NCGS is a service connected disability. Everything for the state. Thank you for your comment, it has not fallen on deaf ears. I wanted to thank you all for your concern and time in writing to me; I'm trying to make sense of this because I like this job a lot (very short commute too) and I don't want to quit but constantly exposing myself to gluten is making me more ill, and damaging my immune system. I am still sick writing this. Plan moving forward: I am going to see how the N95 mask work for me, and I will be looking for a job that does not involve handling or being exposed to gluten in the workplace. I truly didn't think this job would be an issue since I was not eating any of the gluten. Thanks again all! I'm happy that I found this forum.

      Sorry but I have to dash for an appointment so little time just now. Your signs and symptoms and response to a gluten-free diet sound like seronegative coeliac disease. Seronegative coeliac disease, Coeliac UK.
