Just a thought....because I got sick when I *knew* I shouldn't....are you sure it was a gluten reaction, and not a reaction to bad lettuce or a stomach bug? Maybe you got the brain fog or some other symptom that you KNOW has to do with gluten, but I just want to pose that question. I am so quick to blame gluten, but I think I actually got sick from bad lettuce last week....and all of the work I do to avoid gluten!

Catalina Dressing should be dairy free. This link says that the dressing is gluten and dairy free, but the list is Canadian: Open Original Shared Link

Okay thanks Carrie! SO it was either CC someplace, or unrelated to what I ate. Gotta love these easy defititive answers! :)

BTW Carrier, if you have tiem can you pm me or post a list of items that should be dairy free (like lays stax) that you react to? Thanks!

Just tossing out ideas here, but... I made a totally safe easter meal and still felt kind of sick...

It's because I ate too much!

I often forget that I am human and will still feel sick from overeating :rolleyes:

I'm guessing you had a lot of casein free/gluten-free candy that day too? Maybe it was the combination and quantity of food that didn't agree with you...

I have suspected Lays Stax and Lays Regular chips and possibly lundberg rice chips, although I'm not sure if my reactions to the lundberg rice chips were from gluten or dairy.

Some mistakes that I have made are eating dairy in restaurants and drinking wine with casein! I recently got sick from drinking wine that I believe contained casein.

Wine? How would wine get casein in it? I thought wine was fermented fruit juice. How does milk protien get into it?<----showing my ignorance in how wine is made!

"Isinglass, made from fish swim bladders has been used for centuries, but today many more fining agents are available to the wine-maker, most commonly bentonite and casein."

"It's possible that if filtration isn't properly carried out then some aluminium could remain in the wine. Casein, a milk by-product, is also commonly used and its worth noting that many people have an allergy to casein."

"Wine! Casein is one of six substances that may be used to clarify wine. (Egg white is another.) If you call the vintner, ask if casein is used in the "fining process"."

"Some wines are clarified using battery egg albumen, an agent more commonly used for red wines, or casein (milk protein). "

Didn't you eat some wheat cereal or something? Could that be what got you? (Sorry I don't think I read that whole thread so I could be missing something). But could you have had a delayed reaction to that? Sometimes when I eat something I'm intolerant to, I don't react right away to that specific food. Instead, I start reacting randomly to foods that should be perfectly safe. Just a thought.

thanks for the link to the list, there are some gluten-free and dairy free things I had no idea I could have :D you mentioned its canadian list, does that mean I should not depend on it? I'm shopping tomorrow and wanted to buy some of the stuff on the list

thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
