Autoimmune Disease And Histocompatibility

Are all Celiacs Disease sufferers mutts? Improperly bred? A man on an Anthropological website seems to think that if people bred,married and conceived children based on them being histocompatible , they would not have autoimmune dieases. I guess there are a ton of mutts out there,because there are a lot of people with autoimmune disease.

There is a dating website based on matching people to someone with the same histology,but it costs $2,000 and when on sale $1,000. I'd like to look into it. I'd have an Ape's baby if I thought it would be spared Celiac Disease. Or a goat in my case.

Histocompatibility is defined as "a state of tolerance that allows some tissues to be grafted effectively to others". I read that in the Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary

What do you think? And would you marry a person who matches your tissues and cells? Flesh of your flesh and bone of your bone? I would,but I think the government owes it to us civilians to pay for and arrange such things and I think they wait too long to do it.

Having children with someone with the same genetic background would actually increase the chances of having a genetic disorder come to the forefront. That's why we don't reproduce with our brothers and sisters.

I think you'd better reexamine having children with anyone. No one can promise you a undamaged, disease-free child. And, if you are fortunate enough to get a child who appears to be at birth, there is no saying he won't fall off the monkey bars and become damaged. Becoming a parent means assuming the risk of another human and all their potentials, good and bad.

Think about it some more. It's great job that I wouldn't trade for anything, but it is fraught with risk.

Couldn't have put it better myself!!

Of course I would LOVE for my son NOT to have celiac disease...... I would also like him NOT to have Down Syndrome....but s**t happens ;)

IMO there are ALOT worse things that a child could have than either of the above.

What if you hypothetically got the 'perfect' child.....but they were run over by a car.... or fell out of a tree and were left brain damaged/disabled??? :unsure:

um, isn't this alot like choosing to marry only for money or status? ie, who cares if s/he is a dork/mean person as long as our bank accounts are compatible? Just because tissues and cells match does not mean personalities will, let alone whether that person will be a good partner with whom you want to raise children

from an intellectual point, I guess this is an interesting thought but I agree with the other posters.

My feeling is much like the rest of the posters. My bigest concern is that the government should not have to pay for such a notion just so you can achieve an objective. I don't believe the "government" owes you anything.

If the government don't owe us nothing then what do we need a government for? - to supply all the loony-bins with bullets I guess. Maybe I'm a little bit socialist,sort of like Sweden.

I rather marry a tissue matching person than marry someone I like but have no tissues in common with .And Hell,I like just about everybody ,so I'm sure to find some tissue matches I like, also.I'd give it a try,

I don't intend to marry my own brother or sister-that sounds totally backwoods ding-dong to me. But you can be properly bred with a person who is not too DISSIMILAR nor too different,to benefit one's own flesh. I heard that would prevent Autoimmune conditions. If I ever marry a dissimilar person I'll tell them that "I LIKE THEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY MAKE ME SICK,AND COST ME GREAT EXPENSE FOR GOING WAY OUT OF MY WAY".

Mice actually prefer to mate with mice who are more dissimilar at the HLA loci. It's diversity that gives you greatest defense against pathogens.

Just follow your nose...

Why would marrying someone who is dissimilar to you make you sick?

You might want to do a bit of study in genetics. Marrying anyone dissimilar is not going to increase your chances of being sick and marrying someone with the same genetic makeup is going to INCREASE your chances of passing on hidden genes for disorders that require two genes for presentation, one from each parent. Even ancient tribes knew enough instictively to look for mates outside their own tribe. The looking outside the tride for mates even exists in tribal society today. Perhaps you might want to consider booking an appointment with a doctor who specializes in genetics and have a talk before you spend thousands of dollars to accomplish the opposite of what you want to do.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
