I've Located One Of My Issues!

I thought I was getting glutened because my mouth would not stop salivating and my digestion would go down drastically with certain foods, well I have found the answer: excess salt.

The genuinely absorptive work of the villi that line the small intestines can be understood only if we realize that it depends upon a selective absorption--the digested food is secreted into the blood; there is no mere osmotic passage of food through the intestinal wall. It must be that salt has a paralyzing effect upon the function of the villi, also, so that it hinders the absorption of food. It would be valuable to know how much of the reported failure of certain individuals to absorb vitamins is due to the large quantities of salt they habitually use.

Site seems a little sketchy but seems to be true to me. Whenever I have ham, it's almost as if it's a gluten reaction (although I am positive it is not),

So for recovery, I would recommend reducing your salt intake as much as possible. Hopes this helps some people in their recovery, I know it has helped me.

I agree. I have been strict paleo for nearly two months now and the two times I added salty food were miserable for my arthritis the next day. There wasn't really any accompanying D so much as the hands and feet were pretty bad compared to how good they have been. My last episode was Sunday when I tried to add a little treat to my diet with some Cassava, garlic and sea salt gluten-free chips. Not a good idea at all. It had been about a month or so since I had tried corn chips with the same result. I thought that since it wasn't corn I would be OK. I don't use salt for anything otherwise. Anyone know if iodine and the thyroid becomes an issue without using table salt?

I'm just the opposite. If I don't drink a cup of broth every day or two, I get achy and lethargic and light headed. I think my blood pressure drops. It has been low since I got really sick with Celiac. It also drops when I get glutened. So for me, salt is like a tonic. I'm eating so little processed food that my diet has very little salt except dinner and the cups of broth. When I'm feeling bad, first thing I try is a cup of broth, and I usually improve in 30 minutes or so. I'd certainly say I'm overly sensitive to sodium, but in the opposite direction from you.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.
