- trents commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns2Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn
IMO, the information contained in this article is extremely important. Several medical science articles I have run across lately indicate that researchers are just beginning to uncover connections between gut health and diseases we would never have imagined as having a link. One example is Parkinson's. But this sentence caught my eye from this article... -

@Dorothy O. Your story is incredibly powerful, and it highlights something that still happens far too often—family members of people with celiac disease aren’t always told that they should be tested, even though first-degree relatives have up to a 1 in 10 chance of having it. It’s heartbreaking that you went so many decades without a diagnosis, especially given...- burden

CT with contrast.
It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t...- 1

Say what you will about Peter Osborne, but he gave me back my life. Back in 2007 he was not promoting grain free, but came to that conclusion a few years later. While I did OK on gluten free, I really saw the greatest recovery when I went grain free. I notice a huge difference if I eat a gluten free food that contains any sort of grain. I ache all over... -

It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t diagnose celiac disease but can help rule out other causes of abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, or inflammation. Your doctor may be looking for complications, structural issues, or conditions that can mimic celiac symptoms. So while the CT isn’t part of routine celiac testing for everyone, it is normal if your doctor wants a more complete picture of what’s going on. -
Say what you will about Peter Osborne, but he gave me back my life. Back in 2007 he was not promoting grain free, but came to that conclusion a few years later. While I did OK on gluten free, I really saw the greatest recovery when I went grain free. I notice a huge difference if I eat a gluten free food that contains any sort of grain. I ache all over, have digestive issues and my rash comes roaring back. I think it is probably, because grains are sprayed with Glyphosate in the drying process before being shipped. Thanks, but I will stick to my organic, grain free diet and continue to feel well at 73. Not missing out on nutrients as I follow a strict supplement plan based on testing.

Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession? Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.
