Lymphoma

I just read the book Celiac Disease: A Guide to Living With Gluten Intolerance which was published in 2006 or 2007. In the book it stated that the risk for lymphoma does *not* decrease with a gluten free diet.

I have been having constant anxiety since reading this. Everything else I read just simply states that cancer risk decreases with a gluten-free diet. Now I read that the only cancer that doesn't is lymphoma.

Is this correct? Is this the current information?

I hope that is not the case. How depressing!

From what I have read in peer reviewed journals (sorry I don't have a link to the info) if you are strict with the diet your risk of lymphoma decreases and by year 5 is the same as the non-celiac population.

Raven is correct. After 5 years of a strict gluten-free diet, you go to the same risk pool as the general population.

This is a subject that really irks me as I think doctors like to scare the hell of people to keep their appointment books full. People should not go through life worried about cancer. Get screened, if that is what it takes to ease your fears but no one should be overly worried that they'll get cancer because they have Celiac or whatever else can lead you down that path. Live well, eat healthy, keep moving and no unnecessary worries. That should help keep you out of a doctors office. ;)

Thanks for the reassurance. That book threw me off and upset me.

My father in-law is battling cancer right now so it's a fearful subject for me.

Sorry to hear that. I hope he wins the fight.

When Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers, the doctor told me I had a 25% chance of getting it. But then he went on to explain that the general poplulation with NO first degree relative who has it, still has a 15% chance. That brought the worry down to a reasonable level.

As a matter of fact, the worry is zero because we all have to die of something, none of us gets to choose when or how, and to me, the important thing is how we LIVE. Heredity brings me an elevated chance of Alzheimers, leukemia, asthma, and heart disease. Heredity brings other risks to other people. LIFE brings all kinds of risks. But I think the biggest risk of all is not living it to the fullest, and that means (to me), not wasting one minute of it worrying about something I can't change.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
