    Posterboy, your analysis agrees with my experience with some of these seeds in that the difference maker can often be how they are prepared and the effect that has on the plants/seeds natural defense mechanisms. At least, I can see that very clearly with quinoa in my real life experience. I have not really experimented with chia or flax. Last I tried it,...

    I have had three episodes of protracted emesis and diarrhea in the past two and a half weeks. I realized the common denominator was that this happened within a couple of hours of eating a gluten free snack containing hemp protein called JoJo's Guilt-Free Chocolate. Looking back about a year ago I remember having the same problem after consuming a health shake...

    For quite some time I have been looking for a vendor that sells corn bran without success. There must not be much of a market for it. Eureka, I finally found one and they were able to confirm with their supplier that it meets the current gluten-free standard of <20ppm of gluten. In case anyone is interested, here's the link: https://shop.honeyville...

    For me, seems like there are times when the immune system just gets cranky for some reason and I get extra aches and pains until it settles back down. It's good to keep in mind that people with celiac disease have dysfunctional immune systems that seem to have a mind of their own. It's also extremely common to develop other autoimmune diseases once you get...

    All this continues to point to the need for an effective vaccine or gluten neutralizing oral agent. We're losing the battle with regard to gluten-free eating.

    One of the dynamics in these things for couples and households is having to compromise with the other people involved so as not to be able to tailor your diet to the degree you would like to. And I don't find it very practical to try to eliminate canned and processed foods from your diet when you live in a place where fresh foods are not available much of...

    FruitEntusiast, I appreciate your post as it made me think histamine intolerance may be be causing my headaches and migraines that I seem to get during the night when I'm sleeping almost every night, especially in the spring season. I'm thinking my histamine levels are always elevated from various low level food-related allergies and various environmental...

    What does NCGI stand for? We have become a culture of acronyms. I note your forum handle is FruitEnthusiast. Your probably already know this but some fresh fruits and lots of other foods either trigger the release of histamines or are antagonists for the enzymes that break them down: https://theceliacmd.com/articles/histamine-intolerance-causing-symptoms...

    Several of you have mentioned multiple BMs daily as a symptom of refractory celiac disease, relapse, cross contamination, etc. I just want to say that having more than one BM daily is not necessarily symptomatic of a disease process. That is quite normal for a lot of people, as is not having a BM every day. It certainly can be, particularly if it is...

    Better I think for the sake of input from he community if you will copy and paste the lists into a post.

    Not that I know of. I'm assuming you are referring to foods that are high in starches and proteins. Most foods that are classified as a starch will have some protein (e.g. grains and tubers) and many foods that are classified as protein will have some starch (e.g. legumes). Can you give some specific examples of food combinations that give you...

    The short answer to your question is, "yes." In fact, I've come to the conclusion that your experience is not the exception.

    I have not heard of any association of celiac disease with leukemia. Can you provide a link to a website? You say you saw something on the web that seems associate the two diseases.

    I think you are probably correct. What threw me was the clause, "an abnormal population of white blood cells in the gut." That could be taken to mean abnormal in kind or abnormal in concentration. If taken in the latter sense then it obscures the difference between "unresponsive celiac disease" and "type 1 celiac disease" since type 1 is defined as having...

    For sometime I haven't been keeping a close watch on celiac disease research like used to but I ran across this and it caught my attention: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/refractory-nonresponsive-celiac-disease/ First, I didn't realize that "non responsive celiac disease" is different than "Refractory celiac disease" and neither did I realize...

    First, it is very common for autoimmune diseases to come in bunches. If you have one it is very common to develop others over time. And yes, they do run in families so you come by these things honestly. Second, it is a well-established fact that many Celiacs never experience complete gut healing, even when they make a sincere effort to eat gluten free...

    Could there be a stress component to this? I remember how stressful the start of grad school was for me, and the gearing up for it. Stress manifests itself in different ways with different people but for it to precipitate GI issues is a common one.

    I wonder if you have IBS, especially since you state that before these latest issues you frequently had to use Imodium. Seems like spicy food is not agreeing with your GI system lately. I suggest putting yourself on a bland diet for a period of time and see if the symptoms improve. Do you have Celiac Disease and if so, are you being scrupulous about...

    Surely, some doctor thought to test her for Celiac disease. Is this made up or a real case? I'm hesitant to sign up so as to be able to offer a dx suggestion. I just don't trust that I won't get on a bunch of spam lists.

    Are you having a lot of diarrhea? If so, that could explain your thirst and also produce mineral depletion. Acid reflux is common among celiacs. I have that and am on medication for it too.

    Leg cramps are often caused by mineral deficiencies (magnesium and potassium) and dehydration. Being a celiac, you may not be absorbing these minerals well from your food because of villi damage. On top of that, if you are urinating excessively and drinking excessive amounts of water you may be flushing out from your body and/or diluting these important...

    Sounds like a good plan. Keep us posted from Ennis, TX.

    It seems clear to me that you are having gastroparesis if you are upchucking remnants from breakfast the day before. Normally, food passes from the stomach into the duodenum/small bowel within about two hours and then makes it's way down to the colon for elimination within about 24 hr. This sounds serious and I would make every effort if I were you to identify...

    People with celiac disease are at a statistically higher risk of developing other autoimmune conditions, many or most of them involving inflammatory processes. Things like chronic pain syndrome and lupus and RA. Perhaps this bears looking into. Edit: My other thought is that you may not be allowing the injury to heal because of your daily activity level...
