Testing

The doctor ordered a blood test labeled “ gluten IgE. Is this where I would need to eat gluten or avoid gluten to see if I am allergic or sensitive to it? 
not sure what IgE stands for. Under priority I see “routine”. Does this mean I will get routinely blood taken to see if I am positive for gluten sensitive or if I have celiac?

IgE is the type of antibody seen in allergies. This would be a test for allergies, which are different than celiac disease. One does not have to eat gluten to prepare for an allergy test.

The tests for celiac disease look at IgA and/or IgG antibodies.

Routine priority just means that the test does not have to be performed by the laboratory on a rush basis once they get the sample.

This article might be helpful and covers the main blood tests for celiac disease, and IgE is not one of them.

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
