I read corn has corn gluten? And corn should be avoided?  Does it cause an immune response?

the gluten in corn is a different form than in wheat, rye and barley. it is fine for those with celiac as long as it isn't cross contaminated.  Of course there are some folks who won't tolerate it but it isn't something that a celiac needs to avoid.

Right, the corn gluten isn't normally a problem.  Gluten generically is the name for a carbohydrate/protein molecule that stores energy in seeds.  But the "gluten" we talk about in celiac disease is only the kind on wheat , rye, and barley.  And for some of us in oats.

I agree it can be confusing to use the same term.

      Could you wear a mask at work to reduce your inhalation of flour?

      In the U.S. endoscopies are typically done under light sedation. You wouldn't even be aware of what's going on or remember it.

      Thank you both so much,for the helpful advice on this topic & I am happy that it's not in my head,on my body telling me that something is up with my symptoms & needs a doctor's input on. I have a strong feeling in my gut,that my symptoms are either related to a gluten sensitivity,or even Celiac Disease itself. I am keeping a detailed track of my symptoms,& what foods I ate that triggered them to happen, because I know this will help me to better answer my doctor's questions on my symptoms.
