i think this makes total sense.. even tho it was a small group- i completely believe it- it makes sense that roughly half of Celiacs may have similar reactions to corn while others are completely fine. i ate gluten-free corn bread & dressing for days over thanksgiving- and i seriously feel like i did before i went gluten free. :(

I'm discovering I have the same issue. I noticed I was reacting to Corn & Honey Nut Chex cereals, checked the label - corn. So I switched to only Rice & Cinnamon Chex (both are rice only) and I'm fine. After I saw the huge difference, I dropped corn from my diet altogether. I feel soooo much better. It's amazing that after you go gluten free you suddenly find other intolerances...

My money is that it's true that 1/2 of us have issues with corn too...at least for some time until our bodies heal up.

This is that same 2005 flawed study everyone keeps pointing to. There was 82 ppm of gluten cross-contamination in the corn.

Makes me wonder a little about the self-styled experts writing for Celiac.com.

Thank you for pointing that out.

It does show how corn has a tendency to be contaminated and eliminating it can be beneficial for some celiacs.

For years I couldn''t figure out if it was wheat or corn I reacted to when I went to Mexican restaurants; then I realized it was both :o

Don't blame the corn if it was the fault of the wheat which was snuck into it.... :huh:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
