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).

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?

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
