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

So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten. The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten. There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced. You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad. Be thankful. There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies. Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines. Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten. Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust. Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well. Do you carry genes for Celiac? They frequently go along with EDS. -
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.
