Calling All Experts - Need The Best Articles

Hey everybody,

First of all, I miss you guys! :(

Second.........I need information to send to a nurse/naturopath in New England who publishes a monthly newsletter which goes out to TONS of people, and she's consulting ME for her upcoming gluten publication. The problem is, I know I've gleaned so much info these past few years on this site, but haven't bookmarked all articles, and I need to send her the best, most concise articles and references on certain topics. These are things I'm looking for, and I don't have much time to research, hence my S.O.S:

~ I read somewhere along the way that wheat has been genetically altered for mass-production to contain about twice as much gluten as original grains, making it a very hard-to-digest polypeptide chain......but I don't know where I got this. :huh:

~ need good articles on gluten as it pertains to inflammation......I can't really explain why my joint pain left after going gluten-free, though it did - don't know technically why.

~ same with peripheral neuropathy - mine went away, but I can't remember the scientific reason why......

~ I remember reading many times that Celiac is most prevalent in populations in which grains were introduced much later and in areas farthest from the seat of agriculture. Did this come from one of Michael Pollan's books, or do we have articles?

~ anything concrete and cited (I have a few articles on this subject) in the arena of gluten and mental health issues, shizophrenia, bipolar depression, etc. Four years ago I attended the Celiac conference at Stanford, and asked Dr. Peter Greene in person about the link between gluten and depression.......his reply was something along the lines of "we don't really know..." I'm hoping that since then, new articles have been published?

I'm sure I"ll think of more things, but that's a start!

Thanks, all :)

I have a random collection of scientific articles about gluten&celiac. I could send it to you by email if you are interested. Also, Wikipedia has some very good articles covering the topic of gluten&wheat sensitivities.

Thanks Jess! Alas, I could only open the first article........am I doing something wrong on that other site? There are no articles there..........just a box and a "display" setting, and I can't open anything. I am quite sure this is an *operator error* problem.

Help? :unsure:

Pac, I would love specific articles, I"ll send you my email.

Going to search this site........there's SO much good stuff here....will take time!

Well, today I was able to open all of them as well. :huh:

THANKS JESS! Good stuff to get us started :)

Very dismayed, though, to see the one study making no link between gluten and shizophrenia.....I think I've read about that connection so many times.....and was hopeful - and thinking - it could help people who suffer same to remove gluten.....hard for me to accept that one .

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
