After reading the study on Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease I stopped eating processed foods that have milk as an ingredient. Though Gluten Free, "in a fraction of coeliac patients, Cows Milk protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge". After three months my lower belly...

Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

Coeliac or not coeliac
Wheatwacked replied to CC90's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis o... -
In Addison’s disease, autoimmmune adrenal cortex disease adrenal glands don't make enough cortisol. At 12, it is usually caused by an autoimmune attack. It has a strong genetic link to the HLA-DQ8 gene. After 12 gluten free and 14 years on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency (symptoms like you describe from 1984 until 2014) I recently removed all c...

This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms
Wheatwacked commented on Scott Adams's article in Additional Concerns
new studies suggest this is a class effect, meaning other ARBs (such as telmisartan, irbesartan, valsartan, and losartan) can also cause this reaction. Other misdiagnoses with HLA DQ8/DQ2 links but negative blood work are Dermatitis Herpeteformis, autoimmune adrenal cortex disease, Latent Adult Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (Diabetes type 1.5) Diabetes... -
Symptoms Dismissed

Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently. In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a... -
I found these two episodes of Golden Girls uplifting. Watch the whole thing season 5 episodes 1 and 2 if you can.

A diet equal in omega 6 and three fatty acids will lower inflammation and give your gut a chance to heal. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Content of Commonly Eaten Foods I eventually found that commercial cow protein like the skim milk used in M&M Peanuts would cause me heartburn, while I can drink all the grassfed cow milk as l like. Omega 6:3 ratio...

Library paste and paper mache. I have in passing read of wheat based glue used to glue fish tank filters together so it is not surprising they might be in refridgerator filters. Seems the issue with bottled water would be at the personal filters rather than the mass filtering. Just have to boycott the brands that effect you. Gatorade drinks all have...

Anyway, I have no problem with grass fed milk other than the price. Maybe I should move to Ireland or New Zealand. They're the only countries that don't feed grains to their cows to increase milkfat and milk volume. A side note: I just came back trom the vascular surgeon about the scan of my carotid arteries done last week. A year ago I had over ...

I can drink grass fed milk but commercial milk gives me heartburn from the cassein. Brine fermented pickles can help establish lactobacillus in his gut. They provide lactase to break down the lactose. Vinegar pickled pickles do not. inegar generally suppresses Lactobacillus by creating an acidic environment that is inhospitable to the beneficial bacteria...

@Margaret Wheatley Thank you and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum @colinukcoeliac. Letting them know that they lost a customer because they could not satisfy cross contamination needs may incline them to fix that problem. It was good of tnem to alert you. The more they know...

Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value. Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus...

I've added NAC, N-Acetyl Cysteine; "crucial for replenishing glutathione—the body's master antioxidant." I used Clear Eyes 1% NAC lubricating eye drops for several years until the FDA forced them off the market. In 2015 I had cataracts in bofh eyes. In 2019 my left eye was clear, right eye was improved. They are back now. I discovered new companies w...

Both homemade vinegar and fermented pickles have wonderful flavors of herbs, spices and tartness. However, fermented pickles contain healthy probiotics whereas vinegar pickles do not! https://cleanfoodliving.net/fermented-pickles/

"Children who received only a few courses had a modest increase in risk, while those who received many prescriptions during their first year of life had a much higher likelihood of developing immune markers associated with celiac disease." Evidence suggests that children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, or those with parents with lower educational...

Keep it up.

Click on the image to make it larger. Maybe doesn't work on phone browser, That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause. Not trying to. But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies...

I don't understand why you are continuing to persue a differencial diagnosis of celiac disease vs. NCGS. Once you stop eating gluten, those symtoms will go away. One less thing to worry about. You improve without gluten so you proved the point. Why beat yourself up? Without gluten you can focus on the symptoms that remain and maybe over time, with the...

Your choice. "Too much is too bad too" Yes I do think you might be iodine deficient. The intake of iodine has decreased in the US by 50% since 1970. Allowing for Celiac Disease malabsorption you are likely to be borderline on several nutrients. I tried eating kelp but lost interest after a few months in the taste and effort to prepare. Cut...

That is the goal, after all.
