My sister has been so great about changing out kitchen to gluten-free but we think these wonderful gluten-free cookies she made were contaminated by sugar we had before my diagnosis.  I think I’ve been glutened for the first time since going gluten-free and it’s AWFUL!  Why is it so much worse now than before the diet ugggghhh.

I can totally relate!  I think our bodies are finally beginning to heal and feel "normal" w/o the gluten and when it's re-introduced the self attacking begins in a fierce way.  I've noticed I'm super sensitive to cross contamination now.  Within hours I have a screaming headache. When the non-stop nausea sets in, I know exactly what has happened.  It takes almost a full week for my nausea to go away. The longer gluten is removed from the body,  the worse the symptoms become during a gluten attack/poisoning/cross contamination.

It's probably too late for this, but this article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

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

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to...

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
