Glutamic Acid


CuriousOne

Recommended Posts

I was reading DogtorJ's G.A.R.D. article, and was thinking about what he had to say about glutamic acid.

He mentioned something brief in that article about how he was now investigating the presence of glutamic-acid in grain-fed meat.

I don't think it would be hard-pressed to think that all the glutamic acid from wheat/grains could get into grain-fed dairy products...

Maybe thats why some of us have success eliminating all gluten grains, but also dairy and eggs...since those things are fed grains/soy/etc that have high amounts of glutamic acid??

Possibly??

Anyone?

Bueller?

From my research, glutamic acid is particularly harmful when it is unbound. That is, if it isn't contained in or attached to another, larger molecule. This is known as free glutamic acid, more commonly referred to as MSG. These things are neurotoxic, and can have serious effects on the brain and body. Check www.truthinlabeling.org for more details.

AFAIK, the level of free glutamic acid in grains isn't particularly high.

RiceGuy, have you read any of DogtorJ's stuff??

I just checked out that link...

See DogtorJ takes that all further and goes to show that gluten is like 30% glutamic acid by weight...and how soy/corn/casein also have glutamic acid in them..

dogtorj.net, check out the GARD article..

Right now i'm trying again to cut out all dairy, meat, eggs etc...that were fed any soy, corn, or grains. This is going to be SO fun...haha..but if I don't give it 2 weeks I might be shooting myself in the foot if it works and I never tried.

Sure, glutamic acid is in a lot of stuff, and you might very well find it helpful to limit it. My research on it has been more focused on the free form, but I'm sure DogtorJ has some valid points.

And certainly I agree that it is worth a try, just as the gluten-free diet is for many more people than ever do.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
