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 ! ;)

      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.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      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?
