I really would like to know, my doctor says that I have "Celiac Sprue Disease" is this the same as 'celiacs"

I never see CSD only celiac disease what is correct or is it all correct and have different meaning.

Also does one always have DH if so then are colds sores which I haven't had in 3 months I also had super big blister like sore on my face itself a few months ago very painful. :unsure:

Thanks

Rebecca

Rebecca, Celiac Sprue and celiac disease is the same thing. And no, not everybody with celiac disease has DH as well.

Celiac Sprue is kind of he "old school" name for Celiac. It is also Celiac not Celiacs. :)

Most of us just call it Celiac....you will see that the majority of the time .... hence, the C D.

Also, in some European countries, it is spelled "coeliac"

Oh-another one, which is the same thing, is "non-tropical sprue" (because there is a type of sprue that you can acquire, but is not common, and not really related to Celiac.)

If you think you have DH, you should get it biopsied. But make sure you find someone who knows the protocol for biopsying it...many don't.

Hope this helps.

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
