Thank you so much! I will read it :)

jenvan Collaborator

Good articles! But can I just say I am reading the one on cancer and celiac disease and am getting myself really freaked out about it ! :o

jenvan Collaborator

Seriously!

(I read "Association of celiac disease and intestinal lymphomas and other cancers")

Thank you so much for posting this. It's a great resource. Your Doc was awesome to send it to you! :D

Bette Explorer

Hey Michelle,

You are our resident researcher here!!! Great informative articles. Now if I only I could get some of the doctors to read it.

Thanks,

Bette

fascinating reading! I am especially (pleasantly) surprised at the part on how it is diagnosed. That there is no one specific test that can either definitively diagnose or exclude celiac in every individual. And also that it mentions the unreliability of the seriologic tests in children under 5. My daughter was 3 when we went through the (horrific) testing procedure for her... Oh if we had only known then what we know now!

Thank you for posting ! I am reading everything and anything that I can about this disease - (I'm newly diagnosed)...

Thanks to other posts I bought Wheat Free, Worry Free....by Danna Korn and Shelly Case's gluten-free Diet: Comprehensive Resource Guide. I've read about 1/2 of Danna Korns book and think it's great - she writes in a way that makes it easier for me to understand the why behind this disease/symptoms.

If you haven't already read it, I recommend it to others. :)

:D Great link....it is good to hear that you have a good doctor. Mine has never dealt with a celiac patient before so I am giving this link to him. Maybe we all need to educate our doctors a little more so that they understand what we deal with every day ;)

Thanks

Penny

Guest BellyTimber

Penny, more likely your doc. has dealt with celiac patients but didn't know it, many of us are the flag flyers, hang in there,

Michelle, your doc. actually wants you to know this stuff, truly amazing! Just goes to prove, good news is never far away! Am going to disseminate it further (without your name on).

Guest Viola

Thank you Michelle, I will spend part of my evening reading this site!

Thanks for the info. I WILL be reading the cancer and celiac disease. My dad died at 43 from T-cell lymphoma and I am rapidly approaching that age myself! ;)

Emme999 Enthusiast

Thanks for the thanks ;) But I am just thrilled to have such a great doctor who is so unbelievably caring & considerate. She told me that I'm her first celiac patient and I think she is actually kind of fascinated by it. But - more than anything - she is just incredibly nice! She called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about some test results and was really excited for me because she'd found out that Ben & Jerry's is (mostly) gluten-free. I thought that was so sweet! Of course, I reminded her that I'm allergic to dairy.. :rolleyes: (To which she responded, "Damn!" tee-hee)

Anyway - I am incredibly lucky. She diagnosed me while she was working on a paper / presentation on celiac disease (probably for school - she's a nurse practitioner at the Univ. of Utah). After we had done about 15 other tests (diabetes, thyroid, HIV, etc) she called one day and said, "You know, I'm working on this paper - and the whole time I'm writing it I'm thinking 'I bet this is what Michelle has!'"

I knew right then that she was wonderful - I mean, how many other doctors think about their patients when they *aren't* at work?

I'll be sure and pass on any other information I receive!

I love you guys! *sniff* ;)

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
