Jane07 My first question are you Celiac or Have a Non Celiac Gluten Allergy? If yes to either you should be on a gluten-free Diet. Thats without ingesting Gluten of any kind as well as you should avoid handling anything containing Gluten. If you do have blood tests for Celiacs while consuming Gluten then yes your blood work will come back showing it! If you stay Strictly gluten-free no cheating including the bread you ate today as well as the butter if it’s not gluten-free which I am thinking it probably was not you will not only test positive but if your a Celiac you are doing way more than that by consuming gluten in any amount small or large! You will damage your lower intestine and cause Villous Atrophy which is flattening of your Villi where you will not absorb vitamins, minerals and all nutrients needed! You should stay clear of Gluten which means being gluten-free for life! If I were you, look up Celiacs Disease and educate yourself with the facts! I am a Celiac myself and got the diagnosis over 20yrs ago and have been completely gluten-free ever since no so called diet, it is a Lifestyle and for a Purpose! I hope this helps answer your question!

You can inhale microscopic gluten particles that get airborne you can’t even see that if your a Celiac could cause a reaction to it! Were you touching the bread, butter and whatever other foods you handed out without food handlers gloves? If so you risk absorption through your skin as well!

Hi Jane07, Yes if I were you and worked in kitchen preparing meals as well as serving them on a continuous daily I would assume all day basis at least 8 hrs or more I being Celiac would wear food handlers gloves and also a mask to cover your nose and mouth to eliminate inhaling anything gluten that could get airborne such as wheat flour and any kind of flour that may not be gluten-free! Also just cutting non gluten free bread, rolls, cakes exct. can become airborne where you may have a chance to get them into your nasal passage and or mouth which may be a small amount but if your Celiac is sensitive to the smallest amounts of gluten which mine is then over the period of a normal work day in that kitchen could have you ingesting gluten unknowingly! I believe they have food mask you would have to look into this yourself maybe they have them in the kitchen you work in? Good Luck☘️I know Celiacs is tough to educate yourself on what is and what isn’t gluten free as well as what it is or isn’t in ingredient wise! Toothpaste, Body Lotions, make up products and so on can and do contain it as well not just food or beverages! We Celiacs are all in this together remember that and all of us are learning everyday something new about it! Stay Strong💪

If I understand your question, you're asking if handling gluten while working food service will be a problem with your Celiac? Can't say for sure, but I doubt it - just be careful to wash your hands before eating and make sure you're not touching your mouth or face with hands with crumbs on them. I make sandwiches for my gluten eating kids all the time.

Stay Strong💪It is not something I would wish on anyone. We are in this together, your not alone so please don’t feel that way! I know 20yrs ago I did and no one seemed to know anything about Celiacs me being one but especially GI Dr’s so I ended up going to a group of Celiac Specialist in Charlottesville Va called UVA they were incredible! Dr. Shelia Crowe was head Dr there at the time and she had a great team of well educated Dr’s working hand in hand with her! She is now out in California with the Celiac Foundation if I’m not mistaken? I lived in Norfolk Va back when I got my diagnosis per bloodwork then confirmed by Endoscopy biopsy and I had to drive 4-1/2hrs one way to go to UVA but it was worth getting real info by Dr’s who didn’t look at Celiacs like it was all in my head! Good Luck☘️we all need it and more!

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..
