Re: You don't have Celia, Gluten Intolerance, right?

I agree. My father, who is 77 years old, has had what he calls "sluggish bowels" all of his life- had to call an ambulance for himself because of a bowel impaction.
8 years ago, he almost died of acute pancreatitis too (gallstone stuck in common bile duct- emergency surgery after bloating up like a dead cow for a five days in a small hospital first)


Celiac is also known to run in family's, so when I was found to have it through an endoscopy/biopsy prior to the gallbladder surgery, (confirmed in a blood test), and because I have an older brother that has had the severe rash caused by celiac for 30 years (dermetitis herpetiformis) I had my dad do the blood test for it a year ago. It showed "normal"....however (!) when he recently did the saliva test for the adrenals, included in the test was 4 most common food allergens. Anything over 15 is considered positive--dad's is at 32 for allergy to gluten. He's also positive for eggs.

The brother that has the severe rash, is also an alcholic that won't give up the alcohol (made with grain products), nor the gluten foods, he's been on a potent "blood disorder" drug for the rash instead, known in itself to cause liver damage. He also has narrowing of the small intestines because of scarring, so things can't pass through as they should...and known liver damage. He's one of those people Barefoot says has a "death wish".

Celiac damages the small intestines, and causes malabsorption.

In dad's test it says: "Patient shows moderate to severe intolerance or reactivity to Gliadin and is usually symptomatic with ongoing low to high-grade intestinal inflammation following Gliadin intake has been demonstrated. An over-representation of skin conditions, osteoporosis, thyroid and various intestinal and malabsorptive problems is found in this sub-population. Often observed is a marginal nutritional status of Vit. B12, Folic acid, iron and other trace nutrients.

Gliadins are polypeptides found in wheat, rye, oat, barley, and other grain glutens, and are toxic to the intestinal mucosa in susceptible individuals."

It can take up to two years to heal the damage done to the gut, by cutting out all gluten- found in everything..including the glue on envelopes we lick.

If you haven't been tested for it, you probably should be, but from the differences in dad's tests, I wouldn't recommmend the blood test as being accurate. It's more common than people are aware of--1 in 150 actually have it, 1-2,000 in the US are found to have it.

This was just on the Liver flush forum about a woman with constipation:

The information in the descriiption on the Celiac forum, also talks about the liver and stones with it:

About Celiac Disease

"Celiac disease (also called coeliac, nontropical sprue, celiac sprue, gluten intolerant enteropathy, or gluten sensitive enteropathy) is a condition in which there is a chronic reaction to certain protein chains, commonly referred to as glutens, found in some cereal grains (wheat, spelt, rai,...). This reaction causes destruction of the villi in the small intestine, with resulting malabsorption of nutrients. Individuals range from having no symptoms (asymptomatic or "latent" forms of the disease) to extreme cases where patients present to their physicians with gas, bloating, diarrhea, and weight loss due to malabsorption."

"Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a severely itchy skin condition that often starts abruptly, affecting the elbows, knees, buttocks, scalp, and back. It usually starts as little bumps that can become tiny blisters and then are usually scratched off. DH can occur in only one spot, but more often appears in several areas.
The condition is related to IgA deposits under the skin. These occur as a result of ingesting gluten. These deposits take a long time to clear up, even when the patient is on a gluten-free diet."


There are many people who cured Celiac disease by cleansing liver & gallbladder.

That is understandable, when we know that the liver gets "first pickings" of everything absorbed in the small intestine, which is where virtually all nutrients are absorbed, including glutens.


If you've got celiac disease, you have liver and gall bladder malfunction due to numerous intrahepatic stones and/or gallstones.

Celiac disease is caused by primary liver stones (intrahepatic stones).

In most people with gallstones problem, intrahepatic stones were first.

If you have gallstones, you have liver stones. Always. Proved by cleansing.
I have never heard of a person who only have gallstones, and no liver stones.
Every single person who did liver cleanse (after gallbladder removal) have got liver stones out (after liver was decongested).
Usually thousands of stones.


So, there is direct link between intrahepatic stones, celiac disease and gallstones, not necessarily casual link."

Intrahepatic stones are usually the first to start forming, or in the same time as gallstones are forming.

Intrahepatic stones block liver function and intestinal function.
Intrahepatic stones cause allergies and celiac disease.

Intrahepatic stones may be sucked into gallbladder, while naturally passing by, through main bile duct (after a fatty meal), and may be joining stones that are already there - genuine gallstones, or may be the first stones to be inside gallbladder.

As most scientist are not aware of how common are liver stones, but they are aware of the statistical link between incidence of gallstones and incidence celiac disease, they may be attempting to make an explanation of a casual relationship between those two diseases, while missing a very important part of a whole equation. Almost 50% of a whole equation is missing! Poor science!

Liver Anatomy: The Hepatic Vascular System

The circulatory system of the liver is unlike that seen in any other organ. Of great importance is the fact that a majority of the liver's blood supply is venous blood! The pattern of blood flow in the liver can be summarized as follows:
Roughly 75% of the blood entering the liver is venous blood from the portal vein.
Importantly, all of the venous blood returning from the small intestine, stomach, pancreas and spleen converges into the portal vein.
One consequence of this is that the liver gets "first pickings" of everything absorbed in the small intestine, which, as we will see, is where virtually all nutrients are absorbed.
The remaining 25% of the blood supply to the liver is arterial blood from the hepatic artery.
