Quick Q, Which Has More Gluten, Pasta, Pizza, Or Wheat Bread?

Like the title says, which has the most/highest gluten content; semolina/pasta made from durum wheat, pizza crust (made from wheat flour), or a slice of wheat bread?

Also, WHY do they contain more gluten?

I think the gluten content would vary depending on how many other ingredients were in them. Even small amounts of gluten are an issue with us. More gluten doesn't always mean a stronger reaction. You do need to keep in mind also that gluten reactions can be delayed. You might have that gluten-free pasta for dinner but not react for a couple days.

Protein content of wheat depends on seed variety, where it is grow, when it is grown, and how it is grown ..

Very generally ..

* protein content of durum wheat ranges from 9-18%

* protein content of bread flour ranges from 12-14%

* protein content of whole wheat flour ranges from 13-16%

Protein content for Coeliacs ranges 0.002% [20ppm] to 0.02% [200ppm] from Codex Alimentarius - United Nations..

From my personal eating experience, it was the pasta that got me first -- more concentrated wheat it seemed. No science behind this :P

Wait, so protien = gluten?

My reactions are within 1-2 hours, so no delay or guessing involved.

I know I get a higher reaction with pasta/semolina, things made from durum wheat.

Yep. Basically.

The wheat gluten proteins correspond to the major storage proteins that are deposited in the starchy endosperm cells of the developing grain.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
