Gluten for Five Weeks - the First Five Days

There was a mistake in my medical file from my doctor in Florida.  Instead of having Celiac in the condition/diagnosis area of my chart, it was put only in the notes.  This means that the tests that I took two years ago have to be completely repeated.  For me personally that means eating five weeks of gluten.  I decided to turn this into a science experiment of one.  This is a way to test the reaction to gluten on a known celiac sufferer.  I have started keeping track of my gluten intake as well as reaction times and the type of reactions.  Below is the diary of what has occurred so far.

If you Have Celiac, You may react to Corn!

In February of 2012 a new study was done on those people with diagnosed Celiac and how the proteins commonly found in corn can affected them.  The reason for this study was that some people who have Celiac are still not getting better, even after going on a traditional gluten free diet.  Why is this happening?  It turns out that the gluten in corn is similar enough to the gluten in wheat, barley, and rye to create a reaction in a few celiac patients.
