    I'm relieved to here the acronym had nothing to do with cannabis!

    CBDC?

    The DQ2 gene is the one single gene most strongly associated with celiac disease. To this point in scientific investigation, there are known to be two main genes associated with celiac disease, DQ2 and DQ8. In my understanding, if you have only one of the two, the DQ2 gene indicates greater likelihood of developing celiac disease and greater sensitivity to...

    Welcome to the forum, Charlotte! This not the total solution but I would make you aware that if he has DH then dietary iodine exacerbates it. Like in iodized table salt or food high in iodine. You an get a biopsy done by a dermatologist to check for DH during an active outbreak. DH is definitive for celiac disease.

    Understood.

    In general, try to stay away from cured meat products, aged cheeses and things that are pickled and fermented. Eat fresh food whenever possible instead of canned. Histamine counts increase with time for all food that is stored/preserved in some way. Avoid Avocados, bananas and tomatoes. Those three are known to not only be high in histamine but to also trigger...

    Avocado, yogurt and bacon are all high histamine foods. Avocado is the worst of the bunch because not only is it high in histamine itself, it also triggers histamine production in the body.

    But the symptomatic celiac reaction is what we're talking about, not the detection of antibodies in some other system of the body. The antibodies themselves are produced at the site of the inflammation which for celiacs would either be in the small bowel or for those with DH, in the skin.

    "attract gluten"?
  10. trents
    To get a true celiac reaction, gluten must come in contact with the villi of the small bowel. It is an enteric phenomenon.
  11. trents
    Just want to make sure you realize that if you want to be tested for celiac disease you must be eating regular amounts of gluten (1-2 slices of wheat bread or the equivalent daily) leading up to the antibody testing and for two weeks leading up to an endoscopy biopsy. Many people have invalidated their test results by starting the gluten-free diet beforehand...

    Welcome to the forum, Outlaw! First, "gluten sensitive" is a broad term that encompasses two different health problems involving gluten. One is know ad celiac disease. Have your heard of this? The other is known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). People with celiac disease experience inflammation and damage to the villi that line the small...

    Scott, would these regs apply only to products made in the USA or does it extend to any product sold in the USA?

    In addition to what you pointed out, it seems superfluous to say, "people under age 65 with a celiac diagnosis, who didn't get a pneumonia vaccine were nearly thirty-percent more likely to get pneumonia than those who were (not) vaccinated" when you have already said the pneumonia rate between celiacs and non-celiacs is the same. In other words, the 30% higher...

    But didn't you say in a recent post above that if the MFS is made from one of the 8 allergens (which includes wheat) that it would necessarily have to be so stated?
  16. trents
    So, the only issue with modified food starch from a celiac perspective then should be if it is made from one of the other two gluten containing grains, barley or rye. Do you know, Jen Ryan, if MFS is ever made from barley or rye?

    There are some other ingredients in that Gatorade product that could be producing your reaction. What do you know about acesulfame potassium and glycerol ester of rosin (pine tree pitch)?

    Lactose is the sugar in milk products and many celiacs are lactose intolerant. This intolerance often disappears once the villi have healed. Casein is one of the two major protein components in dairy, the other being whey. Sometimes people who have dairy intolerance do better with fermented dairy products such as yogurt and hard cheeses. The fermenting process...

    Since your test results were worded "greater than 250" I would assume 250 is the upper limit of whatever testing protocol that particular lab uses. What you need to know is that there are no standards for these celiac antibody tests. Each lab cooks up their own recipe. So, in that scenario it would be impossible to know if you have made significant progress...

    After reading through this thread, I don't see how you reached that conclusion, robotman2009.

    Thank you for the additional information. Your antibody numbers are still higher than what I would have expected after five months of truly gluten-free eating. But truly gluten-free eating is much more difficult to accomplish than most celiacs realize at the outset of the journey. It's easy to cut out the major sources of gluten in our diets such as bread...

    Welcome to the forum, Maja57! Can you be more specific about which celiac antibody test was gave the 250 score? And can you also post the reference range for that test? Without the reference range used by the lab the raw number of 250 is not that meaningful. There are a number of antibody tests that can be run for celiac disease. Was the one you reference...

    Focus on fresh meat, eggs, fruit and vegetables and cooking your own meals. Go easy on the fruit because it usually high in fructose but don't avoid fruit entirely since it is loaded with nutrition. Avoid processed foods and eating out. There is still a lot you can eat. Potatoes and rice and beans can provide the carbs you need. You can still eat many grains...

    With celiac disease, damage to the villi inhibits the absorption of fats in our food such that they go undigested and remain in our stool. Mucous in the stool is probably the damaged lining of the bowel soughing off.
  25. trents
    Do you ever notice mucous in your stool or an oily residue? Does it float or sink?
