Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Researchers and Their Work

From a Celiac Disease Australian Mag



Researches were interested in (yes believe it or not) the interaction between ' Hook Worms and Celiac Disase! Initial studies



 In the first project the researches are looking for a cure. Previous studies had suggested that the parasite improved gluten tolerance, in people with Celiac Disease.



 


These studies will people to gradually reintroduce gluten-containing foods into their diet.



 The second project aims determine the safety of oats which are potentally harmful to some people with Celiac Disease.



 The third investigation is examining why adults who have been  trying their very best to  remain on a gluten free fail to get full healing on a gluten free diet.

No thanks on the hookworms. I'd be worried about the worms multiplying at an exponential rate, growing out of control. As for why people don't completely heal, my guess would be the toxins such as glyphosate.

Nanny lost a bit of your message. Anyway agree with you re taking part in "Worm" trial. Seems that men do not mind too much.
They can have it on their own.

The life cycle of the worm, really puts me off. Makes me feel sick.
I did not think about them growing out of control. You might just be correct.

Crustations and Gluten

Boy I am not happy. Have been pretty sure I am allergic to crustations. I would like to get a doctor's opinion before I say that for sure.

Had a reaction twice (my hat - much worse than gluten - believe you me) Anyway only tried it twice . About 15 -20 years ago. Prawns, lobester(sp) and crab. Swimp and muscels as well. Did not touch it again for some years.

Only had enough to make me a little sick. Had more of it, a couple of days ago and that was no fun.

Probally ate the crustations (grilled fist covered with it). Because I had enough of avoiding gluten. I don't get top marks for common sence.

As I now understand it, it can have the analeptic reaction. Only just found this out, so it will force me to see a doctor. As might need a pen?

Does anyone with Celiac Disease have an allergy to crustations? I have not seen anyone mentioning it. Would be interested in your experiences.

Oftentimes people with celiac or gluten intolerance report other allergies, but I can't recall anyone mentioning shellfish. But it wouldn't surprise me, and I'm sure there are others like you. Most times people seem to report dairy, soy, nut, and egg allergies. But I know someone who can't consume gluten, dairy, or canola oil. And I know another person who reacts to gluten, coconut, and tea tree oil. Others have a problem with corn. It's probably best to see the doctor, because an epi-pen can be a life saver.
