This is a FANTASTIC example of how there definitely needs to be more research done to determine the relationship between certain genes and Celiac Disease:

VERY interesting....everytime i think im getting a grip on understanding celiac- a hairpin turn is around the bend- im sure the medical field feels the same way, wait celiac isn't even on their radar....if it was there would be way way more scientific understanding of this disease....

thanks for the good read

This has actually been known about for quite a while, if you look at the studies done on genetic typing, but the doctors sure like to read 98%'s as 100%'s.... :angry:

Agree completely. Look how many people are on this site with DQ1 (myself included). This is not a matter of "us" (celiacs, DQ2, DQ8) vs. "them" (non-celiacs, gluten sensitive or not), but rather we all suffer the affects of gluten. Whether we see a loved one experience it, or our insurance bills skyrocket due to millions who are undiagnosed and the myriad of diseases associated with it, or our taxes increase due to special education funds for undiagnosed children requiring additional assistance, we all pay a price. Look at the studies that show the numbers of celiac sufferers in our prisons and mental health institutions. Staggering. Sobering. Upsetting.

Interesting article.

We all have active intolerance from enterolab and although our numbers were low I'm glad we went gluten free before all the damage hit. We all have at least one celiac gene.

Everyone needs to decide if a challenge is worth it to them (their family member).

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
