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.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
