I was doing some research online and found a study about people born in the summer having a higher risk of developing celiacs

<Open Original Shared Link

and I thought that this was interesting because I was born in the spring (may) and no one else in my immediate family has it even though most of them were born in the summer.

well anyways I'm curious to see if this is plausable

I was born in June and one child in August, but my other child was born in December. And not sure if this is counted, but my husband can't tolerate gluten (only found out from him going gluten free with the rest of us) and he was born in April.

Myself and both children were born in the summer all in the same month. Makes for a pretty boring mother's ring. :lol:

However my mother and my other brother, both who we think had and have celiac, were born in the winter though.

from the votes so far i think that the study has been debunked

So many things wrong with this statement I don't know where to begin... First, the study didn't divide people into 4 groups so you apparently didn't even read the paper. Second, you can't make conclusions about 4 groups from only 13 people. You have no statistical power. Even if a bunch of people on the board answer, you have no information about non-celiac birth rates where they live to which to compare the answers. Birth rates are generally higher in the summer to begin with.

My birthday is in January, my youngest was born in December and my oldest son was born in February(he is not diagnosed but doing a gluten free trial). My father and brother whom I believe have celiac also(won't get tested), birthdays respectively are November and July.

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
