Research On Celiacs

I suppose the 's' gets added because often we refer to ourselves as "Celiacs" meaning people who have Celiac Disease :)

Kalanfan, how did the paper turn out? I have a paper to write for my bio class, and I've been working on it, but was curious to know what sources you used, other than the people here :)

Well im a nursing student and we have to do a research paper on a topic of our choice. Since ive been doing the gluten free thing for a couple of months now i decided to do mine on celiacs. For my primary research i need some questions answered by people with condition so i devised a survey...it would help me greatly if you guys could fill it out.....

What age were you diagnosed with celiac's/gluten intolerance?

33

What were your most common symptoms?

anemia

What are your symptoms when you eat gluten now?

headache, stomach pain, bloating

Do you consider yourself more sensitive to gluten now that you try to avoid it?

yes

Did you or your doctor come up with the celiacs/gluten intolerance diagnosis?

my doctor, via biopsy

Do you have any other food allergies/intolerances?

yes

If yes what?

allergic to brazil nuts

Does anyone else in your family have celiacs/gluten intolerance?

brother has dermatitis herpetiformis

Do you consider the world celiac/gluten free friendly?

no

Explain.

Other than the obvious "whole" foods, it's difficult to find foods that are "safe".

Do you think we need better food labelling laws?

yes

Explain.

To make it clearer what foods are really gluten-free.

Does the world in your opinion need to be more educated about celiacs and gluten?

yes, simply because we are not diagnosed effectively.

thanx in advance for your time...

What age were you diagnosed with celiac's/gluten intolerance?

47

What were your most common symptoms?

I wasn't aware of any, although I had always avoided bread products as they gave me bloating.

What are your symptoms when you eat gluten now?

cramping pain, fatigue, diarrohea

Do you consider yourself more sensitive to gluten now that you try to avoid it?

Yes

Did you or your doctor come up with the celiacs/gluten intolerance diagnosis?

Mr Dr did after I was dx with Hashis Thyroid , she did the testing.

Do you have any other food allergies/intolerances?

Not that I am aware.

Does anyone else in your family have celiacs/gluten intolerance?

I have 2 cousins that both have Hashis Thyroid and Celiac as well.

Do you consider the world celiac/gluten free friendly?

Its not too bad but you still feel a freak when eating out and asking for special menus.

Do you think we need better food labelling laws?

Pretty good here in Aust.

Does the world in your opinion need to be more educated about celiacs and gluten?

Yes!

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
