Great article!! Makes me VERY thankful I didn't feed my sons grains until they were 6 mos. I was fed grains from the moment I was born (as a lot of babies were in the late 50's and 60's), and have always thought that there was a connection there. Sigh... That is what the Dr.s at that time told new Mothers to do. Alas, they are now learning what a bad decision that was!!

There is another link in the middle of that article for the connection between Osteoperosis and Celiac. That one is interesting too!!

I didn't feed my daughter any gluten containing grains until about 5 or 6 months... prior to that she was breastfed so I'm wondering if the gluten could have gotten to her that way. I wasn't gluten free yet so my diet was packed full of gluten... when I started feeding her other foods I just pureed fresh fruits and vegetables for her (it was cheaper than jarred baby food)... so I know there wasn't gluten in that. I'm confused. Maybe she was the exception to this, or the theory is flawed.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
