Trying to read my lab results
Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep... -

Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!
I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.- abdominal pain

Why?
"her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software. -

Why?
What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? -
- mishyj replied to mishyj's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease3
Why?
Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

IrishHeart is absolutely right and has furnished a lot of great links to make her point. It's true that Celiacs specifically don't react topically to products containing wheat. For a Celiac, products containing gluten are fine as long as they're never going in or near your mouth. This is not to say, however, that someone may not have a wheat allergy apart from or in addition to Celiac or NCGS. A true allergy to wheat (not oral consumption of gluten that fuels an autoimmune disease) can create a topical reaction, even on unbroken skin. This could be part of the reason she considers herself "super sensitive", because the majority of even severe Celiacs on this forum aren't going to care whether or not the hair dye that they use maybe once a month has wheat in it. That being said, if you don't have a wheat allergy and you have Celiac or NCGS, you may find that a dye with wheat derivatives will work just fine for you. I can only tell you from personal experience that not everyone will tolerate it as well as the majority does.

What does this mean?
Copied from Irishheart's post:
"Source:
Open Original Shared Link
According to Dr. Alessio Fasano, Medical Director of the Center for Celiac Research, University of Maryland,
“If you have celiac disease, then the application of gluten containing products to the skin should not be a problem, unless you have skin lesions that allow gluten to be absorbed systemically in great quantities.""
Does that mean that there is scientific evidence for absorbtion of gluten with skin lesions?

I have never seen any myself but I think this is significant....he says
"systemically in great quantities "...I don't know what that means really...how would that even happen?
That's a question for Dr, Fasano, I think.

Systemically would be into your body. For example, lets say you have a skin condition like psoriasis or another condition that can give you open sores all over the body. Those open sores are now a gateway through your skin that is not normally there. At that point you really shouldn't put anything on those sore that wasn't designed to be put on them, because topical products are not meant to be introduced to your internal body system.

No, I know what the words "systematically" and "in great quantities" means what I am not sure of is how gluten could possibly be
administered "in great quantities" via the skin into open lesions. seems strange...Someone is going to roll around in wheat flour?
How is that possible since the gluten molecule is too large to pass through skin?
I have tried to figure this out...... Say you have open lesions galore...in what FORM
would gluten be administered to create a gut response? It just does not make sense and I have always been perplexed by this statement from Dr. Fasano.
Again, maybe we should write to Dr. F and ask him to clarify. Seriously, because there is NO evidence that gluten can pass through the skin
and somehow end up in the bloodstream.

Yep, what would you have to do, torture someone with a cutting device and then roll them in flour? Okay, I need to stop this wild imagination! LOL
