    Ferritin level of 5

    I see no reason not to start the iron supplement as long as you can tolerate it. They tend to be hard on the gut so choose one that is buffered/slow release. Also, drink some acidic beverage with it like orange juice or tomato juice to aid assimilation. And make sure the supplement itself is gluten free. Wheat starch is used as a filler in some pills/suppelments...

    You might consider writing up a primer on celiac disease and what gluten is/where is it found to give to family and friends to help them understand it better. There are published resources on this forum to help. One is titled, "Getting started" or something like that. Scott, can you link that one?

    Jackie, is your problem with dairy due to histamines or lactose or both? Many foods can trigger high histamine levels. Have you tried cutting those out too?

    Trigeminal neuralgia?

    Is she still consuming dairy?

    So, really what is the difference from a celiac perspective of the new product from the old? Just a different coating on one side?

    Good catch, KAM. So take along your GliadinX.

    When I say "have no problem with milk/dairy" I mean they are asymptomatic, whereas by your own testimony "I just thought I was unlucky to have all these symptoms."

    I believe you can because inflammation will increase the thickness of membrane linings.

    If this turns out to be "a cure," it will be interesting to see how many celiacs who won't take the COVID vaccine because it uses monoclonal antibody technology do an about face and use the monoclonal celiac remedy.

    It's not uncommon for celiacs to not be dairy intolerant but far from universal. Many celiacs have no problem with milk/dairy.

    I agree with Jackie. I am not aware of any test.

    Lisa and Krista, please read the article again: "Well, like many things, the original fries contained no gluten ingredients, but were prepared in fryers that were shared with gluten-containing foods, like breaded chicken. But, according to Wendy's, those days are over, and a "new version of brand's No. 1 sales product is being rolled out now in...

    I think autoimmune diseases are very common in the general population once you get into a certain age group. They are often misdiagnosed because there aren't signs of infections or because the symptoms they produce are common to many health problems. As we age, all of our systems experience deterioration, including our immune system.

    Have you been tested for diabetes, aCraftyStitch?

    Sometimes it has occurred to me that not being able to drop into any bakery or fast food restaurant is a blessing in disguise as far as my waistline is concerned.

    Ask the doctor to run a tTG-IGA test for celiac disease. There are other blood antibody tests that can be run but that is considered the centerpiece. For the test to be valid you would need to be eating an amount of gluten equivalent two slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks prior to the blood draw.

    I agree that more scientific research should be done in this area. I really doubt however that going off dairy will cure celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. I think you got the chicken or the egg question bass akwards on that issue.

    Celiac disease has a genetic base. I don't know that dairy intolerance does.
  20. trents
    No. Milk intolerance does not bring on celiac disease but celiac disease can contribute to milk intolerance. Many celiacs report that their milk intolerance disappeared after they went on a gluten free diet and found healing in their gut. Milk intolerance can exist apart from celiac disease and many people who are milk intolerant do not have celiac disease...

    It depends on what you mean by "compromised." If you mean "dysfunctional" that isn't necessarily the same as "deficient." Dysfunctional can mean the immune system is hyper vigilant which is the case with celiac disease. So dysfunctional might be a better term than compromised.

    Jackie, many people with celiac disease cannot tolerate either the milk protein casein or the sugar (lactose) in milk. For some, casein can cause villi blunting like celiac disease does.

    One of the classic manifestations of celiac disease is an autoimmune skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis or DH. You also describe many other symptoms which are classic for celiac disease such as GI distress, brain fog and other neurological problems. You need to get tested for celiac disease. The first stage of testing is checking for serum...

    You don't "grow out of it" with celiac disease once it manifests itself, regardless of how old you are when that happens. All the symptoms you describe are common with celiac disease. The next step is to get tested. The first level of testing is a blood draw sent to a lab to detect antibodies that are associated with celiac disease. The second level of testing...

    All over your body? Wow! That's a bummer. Do have dermatitis herpetiformis or eczema or some other skin condition that causes lesions? My understanding is that ringworm enters through breaks in the skin.
