    DH is one of the classic manifestations of celiac disease but your blood test does not indicate you have celiac disease. So maybe your rash is something else. On the other hand, we sometimes see negative antibody test results when people actually do have celiac disease. Specifically, what celiac antibody tests did your physician run? Many will only run...

    Wrong! The add is not for Gliadin but GliadinX. "X" as in taking it out.

    From: https://www.healthline.com/health/histamine-intolerance#diet "Histamine-rich foods are: alcohol and other fermented beverages, fermented foods and dairy products, such as yogurt and sauerkraut, dried fruits, avocados, eggplant, spinach, processed or smoked meats, shellfish, aged cheese. There are also a number of foods that trigger histamine...

    Welcome to the forum, Xvd! You may be confusing gluten intolerance with celiac disease. Gluten intolerance is an umbrella term made popular by pop science food industry marketing that covers two medical problems associated with gluten consumption: celiac disease and gluten sensitivity (aka, non celiac gluten sensitivity or NCGS for short). Sounds like...

    Barebones lay version: It's a targeted therapy that blocks the action of certain immune system cells that attack the villi lining of the gut and cause damaging inflammation for those with celiac disease without suppressing other vital immune system responses. How'd I do?

    Is this food scientist, Vicky Kloeris, a NASA official? Is she offering an opinion here or speaking on behalf of NASA? She seems to be drawing a conclusion based on circumstantial evidence rather than on anything NASA has actually said about celiacs.

    Rosa, you could have lactose intolerance but for many celiacs the issue isn't lactose (the sugar component in milk) but the protein component called casein.

    I think we scared Magan off.

    Here's another perspective. Sure, celiac disease is a bummer. It is socially limiting and makes eating more expensive and less pleasurable. And when it goes unchecked and unheeded it can cause lasting damage to other body systems. But unlike many other diseases, we know what the cause is and we know what the remedy is. And the remedy has no side effects,...

    This needed to be said as some forum participants are claiming milk is high in histamines. It also needs to be said that the problem may not be high intake of histamines in the diet but low production of DAO by the body such that histamines are not being broken down at normal rates.

    Nearly all of the symptoms you list are common to celiac disease. The "super disoriented" feeling sounds like what we call brain fog. Neurological manifestations of celiac disease are common and variable. Your arms and legs randomly falling asleep sounds like it could have a neurological base. The pretest gluten challenge guidelines are the daily consumption...

    But . . . if it's in your chart as "celiac disease" you now have a preexisting condition, regardless of how the physician arrived at that conclusion, testing or no.

    Yes, but the original question was not whether or not aspirin lowered inflammation (it does) or even does it lower the risk for heart attacks and strokes. But does it lower blood pressure? That was the issue.

    Ditto to what Peter said.

    The rash and blisters are likely dermatitis herpetiformis, one of the classic manifestations of celiac disease, the other classic manifestation being GI distress. Some have one or the other. Some have both. All of the other symptoms you mention are very common with celiac disease. Given that you have remission of symptoms in the absence of gluten consumption...

    Here is the research I was referring to: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ Very recent, 2019. But this other, much older, study found only 4.2% of first degree relatives had celiac disease: https://bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-...

    I have never heard of aspirin being used to reduce blood pressure. Be aware that both cortico steroids (I assume you are not taking anabolic steriods) and aspirin are anti-inflammatory agents. A certain amount of inflammation is healthy and good. It is part of the body's immune system response and it plays an important part in healing. Too much inflammation...

    I don't know about the product you asked about but many celiacs on this forum find GliadinX to be helpful in that regard.

    Cristiana, a new study came out earlier this year that showed 44% of first degree relatives of celiacs had celiac disease themselves. It was a large study with 300+ people tested by biopsy. The large number of study participants would seem to support it's reliability. I thought I saved the link but I can't find it now. Maybe Scott has it handy. Yes, 10% was...

    You are probably aware of this statistic, as you say, but there is a 44% chance that your first degree relatives (which includes your offspring) will develop celiac disease. So, depending on how you look at it, there is better than an even chance your offspring will not develop celiac disease or there is a very good chance they will. But here are some offsetting...

    How did you get scheduled for a biopsy so quickly? Do you have friends in the right places on the medical community?
  22. trents
    Yeah, that sounds fishy.
  23. trents
    The pretest gluten challenge guidelines for obtaining a valid endoscopy/biopsy are the daily consumption of an amount of gluten equivalent to two pieces of wheat bread for at least two weeks. Quite frankly, with your serological numbers, I see no need for you to proceed with the torture just to ensure that the biopsy/endoscopy is valid. There is some merit...

    Posterboy, can you provide links please?

    arlene, that sounds like a wise course of action and one that I have adopted to some degree as well, at least for breakfast. I rotate between three different menus for breakfast. It can be challenging to do for celiacs, however, since our food choices are already narrowed down.
