I have no problem with unsweetened applesauce. In fact, it's one of my go-to foods when gut issues arise and I'm trying to recover but still need to eat.- additives

The title of this article is misleading. To me, triggering celiac disease refers to something that causes the onset of celiac disease whereas the text of the article explains that what is being meant by the title is actually the triggering of celiac-like reactions or symptoms.- additives

@Jmartes71 It would probably be best to start a new topic in our forum under the "Coping" section, rather than to post this as an unrelated comment to this article.- autoimmune disorders

I was listening until I saw Standford, I was diagnosed in 1994 before any foods eliminated from my diet and diagnosed celiac by Kaiser. I was medically gaslight and continuing and so I went to Standford this year so I can get the medical help and the documentation for disability since my body is literally falling apart but per pcp Im fine because blood looks...- 1

I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"? Just curious. -
I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

@Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation. Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers. Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much. Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods. High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits. The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables. No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant). No dairy. No grains. No rice. No eggs. No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies. No nuts. No expensive processed gluten-free foods. Meat and vegetables. Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets. Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract. This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain. The AIP diet changes your microbiome. Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut. By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out. Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too. Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria. Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation. Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine. Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency. A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing. Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins. They all need each other to function properly. Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too. Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form. Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes. Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial. The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease. Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient. I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try. It really works.
