Diagnosed last year at 54 , both types . It was the brain issues that got me diagnosed , had been told I’d got ibs for years . They think I’ve probably had it up to fifteen years . Been gluten free five months , improvement so far is life changing . Brain fog much better , don’t look pregnant anymore . This diagnosis has changed my life !!! Had iron anaemia too which is much improved . I can’t thank my neuro professor enough ❤
@@TheHumanCondition he his called Professor Hadjivassiliou from the royal hallamshire hospital ,Sheffield ,U.K. .he really is a lovely man and a leading expert . I’m very lucky ❤️
Whenever I do a multi day fast, I think much clearer. Thought it was ketones. Now I think it's probably also avoiding gluten. I recommend looking into benefits of fasting, although it's not for everyone. I think fasting allows stomach to repair and handle gluten better.
Usually people cut out whole wheat or any kind of wheat, which has gluten, and dairy, which has casein, to reduce many conditions. Some like me needed to eliminate more grains that do not have gluten too.
Almost all grains have non-gluten proteins that can mimic or cause cross immune reactivity in those who are sensitive. This can be due to T- regulatory cell line weakness for many reasons.
Celiac testing is alpha gliadin and transglutaminase antibodies, and there is a gene test called HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 for gut and brain forms of reaction. Any of these positive would warn me off gluten and dairy proteins because they are so similar. Cross reactivity is a real problem.
@@TheHumanConditionI have Hashimotos so they tested me about a decade ago and I had a “weak positive” antigliadin and TTG was 6. They said I was fine. I do have one of the genes, and I quit gluten almost four years ago because I started getting major bloating. I’ve had it a couple of times since and just get bad fatigue. I wish there were better tests because I still am not 100% sure I have celiac.
Cross reactivity of grains, beans nuts and seeds can make a person have terrible celiac like symptoms and thyroid symptoms and the lab tests are not clear. My experience it was best to eliminate lectins for 12 +weeks. Carnivore or keto for a while at least.
@@TheHumanCondition I have a Dq 8 gene my doctor said my rashes are probably coming from gluten he said to stay away from gluten 100 and dairy The dairy is where I am having trouble, I mean every where we go there is gluten and dairy
how long approx does it take for your system to clear out the gluten after you stop taking it? hashimoto patients perhaps are gluten sensitive, thanks!
Some patients will retain plant proteins in their intestine for years, others will produce IGG antibodies to glutens for 6 months or longer after their last exposure. Binders and colon hydrotherapy can help remove the foreign proteins. Th half life of lectin proteins is 14 days or so, but if the proteins are sequestered behind a wall of mucus, they can dry and sort of mummify and persist for years until activated.
Patient here with RA, secondary Sjogrins and now Dermititis Herpetaformis. No enteroparhy. Dermititis has resolved with gluten removal. How can someone have celiac disease w/o intestinal involvement. No hypothyroid issues either. How does this work? Thanks
HLA DQ2 vs 8 genes may define a brain vs gut nidus of the lesion. Genetics determine which organs will suffer from autoimmune disease and everyone is different. It is entirely possible for someone to suffer organ autoimmune reaction to some organs and not others. A comprehensive monoclonal organ antibody panel would be required to check this, among other immune markers like total IGG, IGA, IGM and IGG. Great comment!!!!!

Cross reactivity is a phenomenon among some (I think all) autoimmune cases that widens the list of problematic plant foods well beyond the narrow band of celiac. This is a problem triggered by toxins, or lectins, or deficit of fat soluble vitamins due to genetic individuality. some like me are more sensitive to these molecules and need to avoid plant foods with lectins and some fibers more broadly.
Dear Doctor. Just discovered your channel. Which of the supplements you recommended would help with psoriasis. I have been diagnosed with palmoplantar psoriasis.
I tend to use B1, but it can also be triggered by complex autoimmune responses to carbs, glycation damage, oxidative stress, lectins, artificial food additives, pesticides, heavy metals and more. Let us know what happens.

Where is your office located? Can you treat patients via telehealth visits? I am in Missouri. I have been unwell for 12 years and my new doctor has been seeing me for a couple years suggested that I go see a functional medicine doctor. Thanks for all your great information you provide.
Dr. Pierce's clinic is in Newport Beach, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada. You can visit the clinic website ifixspines.com/ where you will find phone numbers for either of those clinics in the top right corner on the main page. You can schedule an appointment by calling one of those numbers (depending on the location that works best for you).

Finding functional medicine doctors can be challenging due to the varied levels of expertise in biochemistry you will find. Some do food and diets really well, and others use complex lab tests to refine and target nutritional supplement regimens to support very specific biochemical pathways and even gene mutations. Sometimes we are persecuted for not using the standard diagnostic and treatment coding system to solve practical problems and I think those critiques are thin and tone-deaf. Interview your candidates thoroughly and see if they have a reputation. We plan to offer more educational and fun interactions, courses and classes for those of you who need more personal attention next year in 2022-but we will not be diagnosing or treating patients-just explaining every element of wellness and the biology of Your Health Journey.

The half life of food protein can be 14 days, so it may take 12-14 weeks for lectins, glutens and caseins to degrade in the intestine, so that there is not enough to irritate the immune system as an antigen. This clearance can be speeded by judicious use of diatomaceous earth, glucosamine sulfate, kelp, magnesium, raw fruit and watermelon, coffee enemas, colonics, and more.
The half life of proteins like glutens and food lectins can be about 14 days, so it could take 12 weeks for many people to lose enough lectins from their gut lining to make a difference. It also takes 6 months or more for IGG antibodies to recover after exposure to an antigen, that is if you are healthy.
Great question. When you use any labs that measure early and subtle antibody responses you get the benefit of early detection and great sensitivity. You also have to watch out for data noise and understand that 1.5 to 2.5 standard deviations are not a diagnosis. Medical labs tend to use 3 to 4 standard deviations or so. That's not a bad thing, because you see me criticize the limits and biases of the orthodox diagnosis coding system a lot. However, don't be terrified by positive results when you use a lab that is designed for early detection. Educate yourself about protective and other types of antibodies that tag cells for protection and others tag for destruction. nearly 50% of all the antibodies in mammals are protective and not destructive-that means they tag cells for preservation, not destruction. This is like an inventory tag system in a warehouse or store. This is a large topic we cannot fully address here but get wise counsel and use these tools in the way they are best suited, not for pathological diagnoses. Further, don't be fooled into thinking that all food sensitivity is antibody based. There are many mechanisms that do not use the antibody system. Watch out for the effects of steroids-these medications can suppress antibody production for 6 months generally and yield false negative results. ELISA is a test that is prone to failure if the conditions are not consistent and the lab technicians are not trained well and have good oversight-human error can mess up these tests. Last, remember that antibody testing has many limitations and we must assess the overall integrity of the immune system to reduce error-for example, checking total antibodies of each relevant class-IgG, IgM, IgA, and IgE to warn us if we are making too much or too little of an entire class of antibodies. That may skew an ELISA antibody test and fool you
celiac.org/about-the-foundation/featured-news/2013/06/gluten-sensitivity-linked-to-autism/ I think so, the evidence still needs more research but I think it is a huge problem. There are so many factors in autism too this is not the only driver.
Carbs in general are taxing on the methylation pathways and I think this carb burden is responsible in large part to the epidemic of undermethylation mental illness in the western world called out by William Walsh, Ph.D. in Nutrient Power.
