Zegee.com - What is Gluten? Celiac Disease?

[CRAPCANNONS]

Did anyone read (or write) the wiki entry on gluten?

It's pretty interesting.

[kellynolan82]

@sinisterskills17 @Pyr0nus Do you avoid gluten currently. I've heard it is beneficial for people who are genetically predisposed to celiac disease to avoid gluten before its onset as I personally believe it could delay its onset...

[kimhunter2]

I saw yesterday that North American wheat products have 60% gluten due to over-processing. European countries have an avarage of 10%. Oddly enough, too have developed and severe intolerance to wheat products over the last few years. grr.

[Pyr0nus]

2 days ago i got the results of my blood. I still dont have any symptons of celiac disease and my blood doesnt show anything either. There's a minor possibility that one of the medicin im taking is suppressing the celiac disease though. I've learned that celiac disease is not cureable but the Stemcell transplantation I had to cure my leukemia seems to have done the trick. Ofcourse i have the genetics to get celiac disease. So theres still a fairly good chance i'll get it back some day.

[sinisterskills17]

@Pyr0nus hey just hope for the best and prepare for the worst cuz I got the same story about me having signs or symptoms of celiac disease but nothing has been confirmed yet I'm just trying to be positive about it

[WillysWoodPile]

An informative video. How about making a video that shows cut-aways of the intestinal tract, and specifically what gluten does to it? Then people can actually see what happens....

[Pyr0nus]

I had a stemcell transplantation because of leukemia. The doctor said that i might not have celiac disease anymore because of the new stemcells. I've been eating gluten for 3 months now and no real complaints. In 2 weeks i'll hear the results of my blood. But is it actually possible to get rid of celiac disease by stemcells? Isn't it genetic or something?

[tvloonie111]

ummm you can't rinse the gluten off. It is inbedded in the very molecules of the wheat grain and the other grains. I have celiac disease and this is what all the doctors who are woth their salt have told me, and I have found to be true through extensive research.

[Cwgrlk8SanDiego]

I have an all over blistering, itchy rash on my legs as well as swelling of my right arm, and both of my legs at the same time... it takes 2-3 weeks to clear up and requires a series of steroids to get past the initial episode. Took the Doctors 10 years to figure out what the triggers were for the rash episodes.

[Person600360]

i got celiacy and epilepsy :´-(

[DrRodneyFord]

Gluten is damaging to the brain. Please check my videos.

[lovemyselfforever86]

it has messed me up, bruises on my skin don't heal fast, i hate this, a life commitment for me is difficult.

[chuobio]

So gluten isn't bad for everybody?

[DrRodneyFord]

@chuobio Yes it is. I am a doctor and I have written a book about it. Please check my videos.

[chuobio]

@chuobio The only bad thing I've found is that it gives certain people, with a predisposition, celiac disease. What else is there?

[smesseng]

Why not have the images match what you are saying, the divergence creates dissonance - I don't know which to try to pay attention to...

[junevi2000]

ALL TYPE OF RICE DOES NOT HAVE GLUTEN

[SpatialVortex]

Rice and oats get contaminated nowadays...

but you're right, naturally, they don't.

[HeHeJustin]

Hello everyone, i just created a website for people with celiac, the site is still under construction but the forums are up and running and i would love to get a nice community going within those forums. Check it out at celiacreviews()com with () being the dot of course "." /forums to go right to the forums.

[MyLaura999]

Thank you for this video, it really helps us to understand how important it is to know what gluten is and its effects

[quitejaded]

But gluten free foods taste like crap :/

[ColorfulxRoses]

im doin a science project on gluten

[nauticapnoy12]

How come some people that have DQ2 & DQ8 genes do not acquired celiac Dz when 33-AA crosses their GI barrier??

[strass1983]

thanks

[alexjiayou]

I heard that all grains may be contaminated with Gluten, I was taking brown rice and felt that it may contain gluten, comparing brown rice to refined white rice, I feel that white rice may not be contaminated with Gluten because it get refinded after any chance of contamination right? It's just a theory that I aren't so sure about so if anyone has a better idea about this, then let me know please.

[TheClovenHeart]

"may" be contaminated.

It depends on the factory. The best way to find out is look up the company on the packaging and either call/write/email the company about it inquiring if there is any way that cross contamination could be an issue.

[alexjiayou]

Thanks for info, I now take gluten free oats now, they look and taste the same but are not contaminated with wheat or gluten. The benifits u get from not having to consume the gluten with it are great^^

[ncbookz]

@alexjiayou can you send me an email of some gluten free stuff and also how it helped you

thanks

[sadmatt97]

Hello everyone I have CELIAC DISEASE and I really appriciate this video showing how this is for othe people ;)

[petachick93]

Hey great celiac video i rated yours five stars.

I just made a celiac song.

Can you watch mine, since i watched yours?

I rated yours five stars please do the same for mine. Can you comment so I will know it was you. Thanks

[TheHansonHaven]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[hakaneres]

3:12 Rice doesn't contain gluten.

[MooShoe89]

i think he said ryes not rice

[suzbee7]

He said "wild rice" does not contain gluten. Does that mean that normal rice or non-wild rice contains gluten?

[slycordinator]

No. Rice can only contain gluten if it were contaminated from another gluten-containing grain, like if you had a processing plant that did both rice and wheat.

[BIGSRUGGLES]

people i have alopecia and i wanted to know is a gluten/wheat free diet would help me reverse the symptoms? or is it maybe because i may have celiac disease and i dont know which the symptoms can be patchy hair loss called alopecia areata?

[GoddessSkyeBlu]

Thanks for this video:-)

[kabloozie]

NOT AN ALLERGY - In Celiac disease gluten stimulates (because of genetic predisposition) the production of immunoglobulins that attack the villi lining the small intestine (that is, the body's own normal tissues). Celiac disease is often confused for an allergic illness because (like an allergy) it requires a foreign substance to trigger it. Another difference is autoimmune disorders are never outgrown; they persist for life. Allergies can sometimes be outgrown.

[Tifa0Nova]

hey um do you know if it's safe to eat something with modified food starch in it if ur a celiac?

[skymonkey81]

I have been a Celiac for over 21 years now and all that time i have avoided oats because they said they were not safe. Today more and more I hear oats are ok, and even see Gluten free oats in the stores. but it seems no one will come out and say for sure. Anyone have more information on this?

[GoddessSkyeBlu]

I've read many places that oats do not naturally contain gluten, however they are often contaminated with it because the facility that processes it shares equipment with gluten. To be on the safe side you should only consume GF oats.

[eennkkii]

Gluten is a composite of the proteins gliadin and glutenin. These exist, conjoined with starch, in the endosperms of some grass-related grains, notably wheat, rye, and barley. Gliadin and glutenin comprise about 80% of the protein contained in wheat seed. Our bodies cannot digest these strange proteins and they end up accumulating in the body in particular in the Gallbladder. Read the work of Dr David Jubb in order to help free your body of these toxins.

[TheLogicJunkie]

I have this problem like mad...

[personaltrainervideo]

....nice...

[SmartNutrition]

Very educational...thanks

[personaltrainers]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[wellnessnetworking]

Individuals with celiac disease may experience severe symptoms such as diarrhea, weakness, and weight loss indicating a marked decrease in intestinal absorptive surface area involving much of the small intestine. On the other hand, some individuals present with anemia related fatigue and have no symptoms referable to the gastrointestinal tract.

[wellnessnetworking]

Such individuals likely have disease limited to the proximal small bowel where iron is normally absorbed, with the remainder of bowel adequate for nutrient and fluid absorption. Other extraintestinal manifestations of celiac disease include osteopenic bone disease, tetany and rarely neurologic disorders. Gluten sensitivity can also manifest itself as a blistering, burning, itchy rash on the extensor surfaces of the body (dermatitis herpetiformis).

[5tonyvvvv]

@wellnessnetworking Gluten and dairy is POISON!!!..we are all miserable and sick because of it!! kids have ADD and autism from it, and the food industry just wants us to consume more and more!!

[wellnessnetworking]

In susceptible individuals, the wheat protein gluten triggers an inflammatory reaction in the small bowel which results in a decrease in the amount of surface area available for nutrient and fluid and electrolyte absorption. The extent of loss of intestinal absorptive surface area generally dictates whether an individual with celiac disease will develop symptoms.

[wellnessnetworking]

Here is some information about celiac disease:

Celiac disease, also referred to as celiac sprue, is an inflammatory condition of the small intestine precipitated by the ingestion of wheat in individuals with certain genetic makeups. The onset of illness most commonly occurs around age two, after wheat has been introduced into the diet, and in early adult life (third and fourth decades). However celiac disease can begin anytime in life.
