both of my parents show strong signs of being celiac, and two of my younger siblings have been confirmed celiac

my mom is cherokee and my dad is british; one of my two brothers who has this disease is my <half> brother on her side. this led me to ask.. how common is celiac in native americans? i cant find any stats because its such a modernly obscure race.

the milk allergy (not to be confused with lactose-intolerance) is a common thing for natives, and i think i got my egg allergy from her too.. but i got a chlorine and chocolate allergy from my dad. sense they may both be celiac (tests pending) i cant be sure if these allergies are related - so again i ask how common is a combo of celiac, milk, eggs, and chlorine?

PS :: i am not talking about food intolerance, but allergies.

I have a neighbor that is allergic to strawberries and chlorine but nothing else as far as I know. She is, I think, 1/16th Indian or it might have been 1/8th. She's not a celiac...yet anyway. She is almost 20 yrs old. Her older brother has occasional seizures (football injury) and acid reflux plus he clears his throat all the time. Their dad, age 60, just died from esophageal cancer, he was a heavy smoker (their mom is too).

well, not to be rude but purple.. that seems both depressing and unrelated to the topic.

Sorry...just trying to help...Celiac causes many illnesses was my point and they are part Indian not to forget the gal is allergic to chlorine... the kids are just not sick enough yet to be diagnosed. They certainly have some related symptoms that only time will tell. Sometimes it takes years. I thought it was a bit related to the topic. :blink: Once again...sorry!

I remembered one more thing, when the gal comes to our house she sneezes and we have lots of pets...another symptom. I have heard her say she has allergies.

my chlorine allergy is from my European family not native american, and you mentioned she was only 1/16th native american (meaning shes got other genetics, probably some european?) and not her or any of her family are identified as celiac, just people with allergies, which is why it didn't actually give any tangible information

I'm Native American and so is my Mom and we both have celiac and allergic to cow's milk(although we can get away with mozzarella cheese). Another person I know who's Native American has celiac as well.

Purple,

Your comments made perfect sense to me and I think related to the topic. Your neighbor is part Indian and does have a chlorine allergy. I am 1/8 Manitowac Indian. Yes I know I am blonde and blue eyed like my European father :P My mom and sister have the beautiful olive skin and dark brown eyes and hair. My mom is half and has all my celiac symptoms but refuses to be tested. We are all here to help in anyway we think may have a connection to celiac!

Hi. I am Celiac. My grandmother was full Cherokee. I'm not sure how many pure bloods there are in order to get any kind of statistics, but would be interesting to know, not only about Celiac but about any "general illnesses" common to the races. Good luck finding your info!

If im not mistaken, the last few pure blood cherokee were the grandparents of todays adults and young adults and are now close to non-existent. pure native american these days means a mix of tribes. that is probably why no stats can really be found..

sense all natives (even as far down the line as 1/32nd) seem predisposed to the milk allergy gene, does that automatically mean celiac too? are the allergies that closley related??

because both you and presumably that girl are part european, and as i stated the chlorine allergy i have my european dad also has, "chlorine" and "native" don't logically connect.

the other post doesnt connect "native" with "celiac" but yours might, and, your comment Does potentially connect celiac and chlorine allergy. im getting the impression alot of natives, both "thick and thin" blooded, have gluten issues.

i read its not uncommon in african americans, and back in the day they more often mixed with natives in marriage than any other race, so many black people today have native genetics too, and that could imply that almost all natives had celiac along with the milk allergies?

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
