Wow, sounds like if I was a mouse I would be all set with a treatment for celiac disease! Squeak squeak! :D

Pretty darn interesting article for sure.

Not so fast.

They've managed to breed a strain of mice that react to vitamin A.

We aren't mice.

Pharma manufacturers will then try to sell you a biologic drug they create to then really, really screw up your immune system's reaction to the problem.

Read the stats and black label warning boxes on the current biologics that the medical profession uses to treat inflammatory arthritis. Almost no risk with eating a gluten free diet, versus all sorts of risks with those.

This is a pretty interesting study. I'm curious to see what falls out of it, particularly since there already seems to be some ties between Isotretinoin (aka Accutane aka 13-cis retinoic acid) and inflammatory bowel disease (see the study below).

Reddy D, Siegel CA, Sands BE, Kane S (2006). "Possible association between isotretinoin and inflammatory bowel disease". The American journal of gastroenterology 101 (7): 1569

Forgive me for having one of those CRS moments, but somewhere yesterday I read on a link that the incidence of celiac has also really gone up ever since the increased use of artificial hormones for birth control.... aye yi yi now if that ever really panned out and gets researched to show any correlation, there is gonna be some fall out !

My theory is we all survived our lousy childhoods (thanks to antibiotics) and lived long enough to reproduce, and I'm sticking to it ! ;)

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
