Working In A Kitchen With Gluten Foods

I've just recently been diagnosed with Celiac and i'm still waiting for the biopsy results to see the severity. My managers at work have been working with me but I've been reacting to just being in my work center, and I'm having to leave work early everyday or work out a way to get my shift covered so I don't have to go to work that day. I work with food and I have been reacting to just being near foods and not even touching it. Does anyone else have this problem and if so did it ever go away?

I tried working as a cashier at a grocery store fairly a few months ago, and simply from the bags of flour and boxes of pancake mix getting on my clothes and my hands, I found I was getting glutened. Maybe if I hadn't needed a water bottle because I need it, or if it hadn't been constantly busy so I could, say, see someone with a flour product and call over someone else to take that order for me or something. 

If you really want to keep the job, could you wear a mask? That would help as long as you 'decontaminate' before you get home, throw all your clothes into a bag, then into the laundry, etc.

You will not become less sensitive to it though, no.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
