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?

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...
