CELIAC DISEASE ON THE RISE

Don't be surprised if you start noticing more people avoiding the bread basket. No, it's not a case of diet deja vu. Low carb is not making a comeback. But the diagnosis of celiac disease is on the rise. Or at least that's what the U.S. National Institutes of Health expects as the group embarks on a heightened awareness campaign for health professionals. [continued]

Thank you so much for posting this. I think it's fascinating that they are quoting the US National Institute of Health--but here in the US, we haven't heard about it. US residents have to read a Canadian publication to find out about it?!

I went to my home page and on the search box I typed in 3 words ( Celiac Disease news ) and came up with a lot of news articles in the US including the one by NIH in July of this year. I don't think I ever did a search like this before. There is a lot more awareness than I previously thought.

The more I think about it the title is wrong. Celiac Disease is not on the rise. The "diagnosis" of Celiac Disease is on the rise. The disease has always been here. I's time for more people to realize it.

I'm not sure I agree with you. I think, with the increase of gluten-laden fast foods, chemicals in our foods, and fancy bakery breads and muffins in every grocery store and convenience store, not to mention the proliferation of whole-grains in our diet, that there IS an increase of celiac as well as the fact that US doctors are finally getting a clue. And I BET that vaccines are somehow linked as well.

I know I was symptom-free until I started making --and eating--pastas and breads after watching umpteen Food Network cooking shows!

I would have to say that Celiac most certainly hasn't always been so wide-spread as today. I say this based on the fact that all commercially grown modern-day wheat is extensively hybridized - such that it contains multitudes more gluten than it did just a few generations ago. There are over 20,000 hybrids on the market today, and AFAIK every single one without exception has purposely heightened levels of gluten! Add to that the fact that the DNA sequence which seems to trigger the immune system resides in a hybrid portion rather than the original. Research has yet to figure out if the original wheat would be a problem for a Celiac, but if you ask me it doesn't matter once the trigger has been thrown. The REAL question is if the original wheat would ever have led to Celiac in the first place. While I'm sure there have always been folks whom can't tolerate wheat for one reason or another, be it the gluten or something else, I highly doubt Celiac was always so common as today. Diagnosis is a separate issue, which we all know is sorely lacking of course.

From my own research I've concluded that a virus known as the adenovirus is an integral part of the Celiac puzzle. It seems that our NATURAL IMMUNE RESPONSE to this virus has been interfered with by the hybrid wheat, such that part of the gluten protein chain of amino acids is mistaken for a virus "marker" of sorts. The unanswered question is whether the original wheat gluten can so often trigger the immune response this way. I'd say our immune systems are prepared for virus mutations, and since the virus alarm goes off, it is convinced the virus must be there. After all, what else in nature would have that signature? Answer: Nothing! The hybrid wheat is NOT natural - only a recent development of man. So if the gluten looks more like the virus than is naturally possible, how is the immune system supposed to be prepared for that?

I have written about this in at least one other thread, and may have included some links to some relevant scientific articles. A search for "adenovirus" should turn them up I'd think.

Incidentally, I read growers haven't been so successful at producing any original wheat varieties, as it seems they quickly become hybridized from all the modern wheat grown elsewhere! I guess that's due to the spreading of pollen. It figures man would screw it up for everybody.

I am glad people are starting to realize what it is and that they can have it without symptoms because the more awareness we have the more people who have it will be diagnosed.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
