Arsenic In Rice?

soo... 100 ppm = .100 gram = 1mg

avg grain of salt weighs .650grams 6x the amount of the PPM arsenic .

So again how much is too much and how much is irrelevant ?

IMO I am not too terribly worried about 1/6th the size of a grain of salt but will be sticking with imported rice as it's cheaper and now evidently safer. Sorry US farmers !!!

Our fruit, veg and herbs are as organic as we can get them. My yard has been chemical free for at least 8 years since we've lived here, and from the state of it when I moved in, I doubt they even so much as watered the yard. The rice we have certainly does not come from the US. I'm not concerned about our overall diet because we are so careful with everything.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.

      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things?

      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a bit of a detective.   Do think about giving the AIP diet a try.  The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down.  Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions.

      I do not take medications and my vitamins are certified gluten-free. Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?>  Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?
