I do highly doubt it contains gluten, but this question goes along the lines of would you put vital wheat gluten in your laudery? What about flour all over you clothes, and wheat spray.......yeah no cause then you touch your clothes then your mouth, wipe your mouth with your sleeve, do you dish towels in it then wipe all your cooking surfaces down with wheat gluten.....like......I would just burn the house and file for insurance at that point........True your not eating it but your pretty much putting it everywhere so you will be eating trace amounts from CC for the next 6 months.

That this not the same thing at all! It’s a rinse in the laundry.  Even if it didn’t rinse all the way out, you aren’t trailing flour around the house. There is no reason for people to over react and make life harder.  Most of us don’t want to live like that!  

 

If this sort of thing was a real Celiac concern, I would expect the Celiac experts would warn us about.  However,I have never seen a credible  source telling us we must have separate laundry machines and can’t use machines used by “ Gluten eaters”.

Thanks.  I don't have Celiac,  but I am sure I have Gluten Ataxia. Just trying to eliminate if necessary especially until I get a true dx.

You need to stay on gluten while any celiac related testing is being done. Have they done an MRI? Folks with gluten ataxia will have lesions called 'UBO's" or unidentified bright objects. They are similiar to the lesions found in MS. If found they will sometimes do a spinal tap to rule out MS. If you haven't already do get a celiac panel run along with your B12 levels.  Low B12 is not uncommon with celiac and can cause nerve related issues.

As to the original query. If you are concerned get a 'free and clear' product. There shouldn't be an issue gluten wise but some folks are sensitive to scents and chemicals.

My MRI has been clear. They did a spinal tap back in May which was also good.  MS ruled out many times. All my symptoms match Gluten Ataxia, but I don't know for sure since I don't have a dx. However, I DO have Hashimotos so at least going Gluten Free is necessary for that.

I go to my Rheumatologist on Jan. 30th, 2018. Can a Rheumatologist determine Gluten Ataxia? If so how long should I be back on Gluten for testing? 

Thanks for the heads up on Free and Clear products. I will look into that.

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      It seems the "fad" diet is working for you.

      Upset stomach

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Vicky'  If you are hesitant to visit your medical provider and if this discomfort persists you may choose to do that. I do have some suggestions and how ai have delt with digestive problems not caused by gluten but likely a result of having the autoimmune reaction in my small intestine for all the years before going gluten free. Before I stopped eating gluten I had a leaky gut. The gluten inflammatory reaction let other food molecules get just far enough into the wall of the small intestine to be recognized as invaders so I began reacting to them at a very low level, not very noticeable.  When you eat a meal it goes into the stomach and is liquified in a highly acid environment. This may take up to 2 hours. This acidic fluid is then  released into the beginning of the small intestine where, as it is released, bile is squirted into it . The bile is very alkaline so it neutralized the acid.  Without that bile being available the liquid that is released from the stomach may remail too acid and cause discomfort. Many people use antacids to stop the burning but I don't do that because it did not get at the real cause. \\I wrote that I had developed other food intolerances or allergies that weren't noticeable when I was eating gluten foods. Except for hot peppers and all of the nightshade family.  I have mild reaction to other foods. Those reactions cause enough inflammation in my digestive system that impeded food from passing down the small intestine so that when the food was released from the stomach it had no place to go because the small intestine was still having difficulty pushing it along. When the stomach can't release the acid liquidified food down it tends to be forced up resulting in acid reflux.  I learned to do gentle massages of my abdomen and over the last 18 years eliminated many foods from my diet. What I did not realize, although many celias have reported this, is that once a person reacts to a food even tiny amounts of the food I have eliminated, will cause inflammation in my stomach and upper intestine I was getting these very small amount of reaction causing foods in supplements, by cross contamination  . Now if soy or corn, to name just 2, is on a label I don't buy it. Another suggestion is to drink enough water to keep yourself hylrated. That information is available online and depends on you height and weight. I am not a medical practitioner so what I wrote is only from my own experience and what I think about the causes of some of my digestive problems.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Stephanie Wakeman, Get your vitamind D blood level checked and supplement to raise to around 80 ng/dl or 200 nmol/L.  This is the natural upper limit and provides the best immune system. Vitamin D plays a role in regulating the immune system, and low levels may impair the immune system's ability to control allergic responses.  Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to an increased risk of developing allergies and experiencing more severe allergic reactions.  Vitamin D is one of many vitamin deficiencies caused by small intestine damage so unless you get enough sunlight or taking large doses of vitamin D, you will be deficient.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m frustrated with celiac disease and my current gastroenterologist (GI). I’ve been gluten free for almost 13 years, with normal antibodies for almost 8 years - except for one excursion of my DGP IgA 5 years ago which returned to normal when I changed brands of gluten free flour. All 4 celiac antibodies were positive 13 years ago but I didn’t have an endoscopy for reasons unrelated to celiac disease.  I did have one 9 years ago. The DGP IgA was still slightly elevated, GI saw some blunted villi visually, biopsy showed “patchy mild increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes” and “focal mild villous blunting” (Marsh 3A). For the past few years I’ve had intermittent trouble with nausea and stomach pain so my current GI suggested doing a repeat endoscopy. He saw nothing visually, but biopsy showed “focal mild intraepithelial lymphocytosis” and “minimal focal villous blunting”.  All I got was a letter from the GI and his nurse that said there were mild changes consistent with celiac disease. I sent a message to the doctor asking where I go from here but just got an answer from a nurse saying it is better, less damage than 2016 so keep following the gluten free diet. So focal is better than patchy for increased lymphocytes and minimal focal is better than focal mild villi blunting? I feel this biopsy result after 13 years deserves some discussion, but this doctor never answers messages, his nurses just give out canned responses, it takes 6 months to get an appointment, and his only suggestion for nausea and pain was more soluble fiber. I’ve read that adults may not heal completely on a gluten free diet but with normal antibodies for years I was not expecting this result. I have made an appointment with a different GI who hopefully is more communicative. Rant over. Thanks for reading.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      I was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and a wheat allergy as a child in the early 1960s, . which I inherited from my father's DNA. My mom tried the best she could with both of us, but in those times health and allergies were kind of brushed aside.  I grew out of it, or so we thought, but the rashes reared their ugly heads while I was in college. Keg parties (wheat & gluten in beer and youthful reckess eating led to an outbreak. To the point, I am a 65 year old and now living with full blown celiac with dermatitis herpetiformis blisters that are just beginning to receed after being gluten-free for over 2 years at least. The lesions are so unsightly that I need to stay covered. Ive been living in South Florida and would love to wear shorts but people see the sores and thing I am a leper. Ive lost a lot of weigh from  stomach cramps and frequent bowel movements. Will this ever end!
