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:

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
