    The quoted section ends up not being about Celiacs. The quoted section is pointing out the odd experimental result that when you give the original wheat product that has starch and gluten together, that this gives a much different digestive result than taking the gluten-free wheat starch and adding the gluten back in separately. It's interesting information...

    I think you are right about this. The way it is presented - particularly in a chapter about Celiac disease - is a little misleading. Thank you for making this clear.

    Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is not the invention of the author of the book I quoted. The SCD was created by Dr Sidney Haas, one of the most respected doctors and early investigators of Celiac disease. In reviewing the citations in the section I quoted on Pubmed, you would be surprised at how little research has advanced in 20 years. I guess the...

    Wheat starch is the carbohydrate portion of the wheat. Gliadin is a peptide. It is possible to separate these two elements, leaving just the pure carbohydrate. Are you asking me what is the chemical process by which these two are separated? It's not clear where your confusion is or what your question is. It is interesting that some studies show that...

    I'm reading the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" which is basically a short summary of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases. The SCD diet is much more restrictive than a Celiac diet, and it does not allow grains. The chapter on Celiac disease shocked me with the following statement, based on recent research: ...

    I think it is awful to not have the support of your loved one when you are suffering from a disease. If he is a "only the strong survive" type I guess that is food for thought. If it makes you feel any better, I started out thinking I had celiac, and ended up finding it was a gluten intolerance but combined unfortunately with an extremely poor absorption...

    I believe the celiac antibodies are all IgA type not IgM. I have selective IgM deficiency, but have none of the usual respiratory or allergic conditions associated with it. I have horrible reactions with wheat: the full set of symptoms associated with celiac both intestinal and neurological. However I test negative for the IgA celiac antibodies...

    It looks like I may have some kind of issue with absorption of fats. I had a high fasting glucose and decided to treat that with a low carb diet. When I changed over to higher fats in diet, I started to lose weight rapidly and could not control the weight loss. They are checking fat absorption now, but it all comes together for me that the weight loss...

    Is there a comprehensive directory of all gastroenterologists in the US that have a celiac specialization?

    Sharkbaitgirl, the tricky part about celiac - in my opinion - is that there are usually sensitivities to other foods, not just wheat. These are either cross reactions, separate but similar immune responses, or malabsorption like FODMAP issues. It's actually incredibly difficult to manage all of this, and I question whether any doctor in the Bay Area really...

    Hi, I am also interested in a list of gastroenterologists in the South San Francisco Bay Area who specialize in Celiac. The Stanford program is run by Dr Gary Gray. He is very experienced but is also close to retirement. I'm hoping to find a celiac specialist who will be doing this for a long time. I'm also interested in finding a celiac specialist...
