re: Why do so many have Celiac disease?

I feel bad for people with actual celiacs disease because all the stay at home Facebook moms who read about the horrors of gluten on social media and seen it on Oprah have now made it to where people are cynical if you say you have a gluten allergy.

Make sure you tell your wife exactly what you’re looking for before she finds you trying to find a gf finding app

A recently published study in the journal Digestion found that 86 percent of individuals who believed they were gluten sensitive could tolerate it. Individuals with celiac disease, a hereditary autoimmune condition that affects about 3 million Americans, or roughly 1 percent of the population, must avoid gluten
3 million people is still a substantial amount

Many are getting gluten allergies due to gut yeast overgrowth.
Gluten and gut yeast share two proteins. When the yeast is getting through the gut lining due to overgrowth, the immune system attacks it and then also starts attacking the gluten as they appear similar enough to the immune system.

It's the new fibromyalgia of the intestinal tract.

I've asked people that didn't say they have celiacs just a gluten allergy about what happened. They say they just felt better. Ok, so you cut out a bunch of shite food you were eating from the frozen food section and all that canes.
They probably meant intolerance. If someone has a gluten or wheat allergy they probably would feel better not eating it.
Celiacs the auto immune disease where your immune system attacks the cilia in small intestine when digesting gluten. Ability to absorb certain nutrients becomes restricted for months after exposure. Higher risk of a certain cancer as well.
Wheat/gluten allergy which triggers immunity system response like other food allergies - extreme needing medicine or epipen or just makes you feel bad or rundown.
Intolerance is vague more intestinal without the immunity system attacking it or extended issues after exposure. People digest different things better or worse than others. My kid loves pickles, but when he eats a lot of them it’s like taking an exlax. Anything eaten with it passes through pretty quickly. Not really true malabsorption like with Celiac and not allergic, but if anyone has this issue with grain they may be better off avoiding it. But most gluten intolerance issues are probably closer to what you mentioned and feeling better is just about eating better.

Wife and I went through infertility for nearly 9 years. Towards the end we were desperately grasping at any straws that could increase our odds at conception, even if only slightly. A gluten free diet was recommended to cut down on inflammation. Not going to lie, it sucked, but if I'm being honest I hadn't felt healthier in years before or the year or so that we stopped eating that way. May have been something to it, our son turns 2 months in a few hours.
We did stop eating out though because I felt like a dick making restaurants jump through hoops for something that wasn't medically necessary.

I was diagnosed with celiacs a few years ago. I also ate quite a bit but always felt like shite after. On top of that I could never gain weight. So went to a gastrologist and had an endoscopy done. My stomach was scarred all over from the inflammation, and the cilia in my intestine was essentially flattened. So was never getting any nutrients from what ever I ate. As someone mentioned earlier it fricking sucks. Especially when you go out with friends. My friends are always pretty cool about it and understand but it still sucks. Do you know what foods have gluten in it? The best kinds. Luckily my fiancée is an amazing cook and has made lots of recipes to make up for a lot. She even made a pizza recipe that I think is probably the best pizza I’ve ever had. She found a gluten free flour in France, that is a potato/corn mix that taste like regular pizza crust which is damn near impossible to find. Usually it feels like you are eating cardboard. But seriously celiacs sucks. I hate the people who do it as an attention grabbing trend, but sort of thankful for them too since it’s really grown the options I can choose from now.

Our food has changed dramatically in the last 40 years and now these gluten intolerant people are the result of that food meeting our gut’s inability to process the food because of the antibiotics and harm to lower intestine from ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
We are basically poisoning ourselves.

We need more Vitamin See

Maybe guys do.
Based on my studies, chicks do better when they get more vitamin D.

I know it's a real thing, that affects 1% of the population. If you ever go on "where nola eats" you'd think it was 25%.

Windshieldman, are you in Louisiana?
I've got a couple of kids w/ biopsy proven celiac.

That means 18 million people claim to have some form of gluten sensitivity when they don’t, thus vastly inflating the supposed appearance of commonality.
3 million <<<< 21 million

A client of mine just got diagnosed with it. I thought it was a BS disease, but he'd been having various issues for a few months before they finally diagnosed it. He's been off gluten for a few weeks now and says he's never felt better in his life.
Seems to me that there has been a pretty huge recent increase in all auto-immune diseases. Or maybe I'm just getting old and a lot of people my age are starting to show their age.

You answered your own question.
Same thing for lactose intolerance, shellfish allergies, peanuts being "fatal" and emotional support animals.
I'm not saying that medical science doesn't support the existence of these things (and that some significantly smaller population than actually claim them are actually affected), but like a lot of things, folks so badly want to be part of a group (and/or get attention), they'll glom onto anything.

I’ve had people die on me from both of those and I’ve had many near fatalities with them, especially peanuts.
