Interesting Video On Gluten Intolerance But Is It Accurate?

Just came across a really intriguing video on youtube about gluten intolerance, celiac disease and how it can be treated effectively.

It was only uploaded recently and I wondered if any of this is true. Sounds very interesting and gave me some insight into how my body has gone all along... <_<

I got to the part where this video said that unprocessed gluten won't cause a reaction. I guess its supposed to be OK to eat wheat straight from the stalk? Or cook it before its "processed"? If that's true, why are people so worried that there might be an unprocessed piece of wheat ccing thier strawberries or other produce?

My kids have videos on YouTube. They didn't have to prove thier qualifications or get a liscense or pass a test to post on YouTube.

Sounds like a load of bull to me... I hear this kind of talk often when I visit an organic food store. As if organically grown wheat wouldn't make me ill... :rolleyes:

Alice, hon, I see you are still searching for a way for it to be okay for you to eat gluten-filled foods again.

The internet is full of many things, but a cure for celiac is NOT THERE.

I told you, if there were a CURE, it would be FRONT PAGE NEWS and celiacs/gluten intolerants everywhere would know about it.

She did a good job explaining the inflammatory process...until the end where

she told a BIG FAT LIE.

'Tis a fab mix of fact and fantasy.

Technically it should be possible for you to rid your body of anti-gluten antibodies, and I recall reading one study about a young woman who did that. It took her ten years.

If you consider how the immune system works, every time you encounter something that triggers an antibody response you make more of the cells that know how to make that antibody. Those Open Original Shared Link will eventually die if you stop making them, and your body won't know how to make anti-gluten antibodies any more. But you would have to not encounter even the slightest scrap of gluten, any tiny bit of CC will send you back to the beginning of the process. Maybe if you lived in a culture where wheat isn't used you might have a chance, but it seems a pretty daunting task otherwise...

it's good information on an anti-inflammatory diet, but I really don't think that eventually you can eat wheat in any form ever again.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but who lack knowledge about how gluten may be hidden in the food supply. I mean, who would expect to find wheat in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but you may want to consider making your kitchen entirely gluten free to eliminate the possibility of accidents and cross contamination. It would also simplify your meal preparation. Yes, I'm talking about both of you eating gluten free in the home. Many couples find this is the easiest and most practical approach to being consistent and keeping their celiac loved one safe. You might find this helpful:

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.
