Hello everyone,  please help me. I have recently became celiac and extreme gluten free. I have changed everything because of the misery of rashes and how horrible I have been feeling.  Read an article about using free and clear laundry detergent and I wasn't breaking out in bumps everywhere. However I cleaned my comforter using tide and have been up all night itching like crazy!! How do I deal with this if I ever want to travel??? ? Thanks for the help

While this is NOT a gluten/Celiac issue, it happens to my son ( who is not Celiac or gluten sensitive). When he travels, he sleeps in a long sleeve t shirt, sweat pants, socks and either brings a pillow case from home or puts a t shirt over the pillow.  Not every hotel or friends house have sheets that make him itch, but it is best to be prepared.

Use a double rinse always on your wash cycle.   That and gentle detergent  (think Baby Dreft or one developed for allergies).    Use less than half of what the manufacturer recommends.  (It often is ploy to get you to use more detergent, in my opinion.)

Newer washers use less water.  Boo!  You might even need a third rinse on one of the water-saving machines.  You can test just throw in some clean towels without detergent and you can often the residue of soap bubbling up.  That extra rinse really helps!  

And Karen is right that is is not a celiac-related issue.  Many people have allergic-type reactions to detergents.  But I can imagine your reaction is worse when you are already struggling with DH.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
