A Wheat Field

I am looking for information which I can not find...maybe some of you can help.

We are visiting my parents right now and I am wondering about the wheat that is growing in the field and has been cut while we are here. Is this dangerous...or does the wheat have to be processed first before it is harmful. My parents are GREAT about Coop's diet...but after Coop has been complaining of a tummy ache today...dad got all worried and mentioned that he had cut the back field right before we got here Friday evening and the boys have been riding four wheelers in that area too.... :huh:

Any thoughts??

Thanks...Dallas

If he accidently inhaled some or put some in his mouth than he could get sick.

I work in the bush and in old wheat fields. I just wash my hands with Purel before I eat and I don't chew on grasses like my co-workers love to do. I have not been sick this summer as a result of the fields.

I would stay away from wheat fields. Just another way to get glutened.

I really don't have any concrete information, but I know for me at one time I had a sugar beet allergy and when I would drive through the part of town where there were a lot of sugar beet fields I would start sneezing and my eyes would swell up a little bit and get weepy. I think I was reacting to the air in that highly concentrated sugar beet area. I would think it could be the same for wheat, especially now since it is being cut (it is harvest time isn't it?) and it's really getting stirred around in the air.

However, keep in mind that allergies are much different than intollerances. It takes actually swallowing or inhaling the gluten protein in the grain to have a reaction. The likelyhood of doing so by just driving by a field is slim to none.

When the wheat kernel is harvested it is fully in tact. It isn't ground in the harvesting process. I wouldn't recommend running into a field and rolling around in the wheat stubble, but I think it's pretty safe to drive through areas of harvest.

As far as the 4-wheeler riding goes. Tell the kids to stay out of the field. It's better to be safe than sorry.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Thanks! I don't think it was a total IGA test, it was called "Array 3X - Wheat/Gluten Proteome Reactivity & Autoimmunity" and it tested a bunch of wheat proteins and transglutaminase for both IgG and IGAs.

      False tTG3 Test?

      Welcome to the forum, @SB04! Let's cut to the chase. Did they run a tTG-IGA and a total IGA? Total IGA goes by many names but it checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing. Dermatitis herpetiformis...

      False tTG3 Test?

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I know I'm late to the party, but I thought these articles are very interesting. Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms. Thiamine deficiency is linked to Long haulers syndrome, too. I had palpitations that only resolved with thiamine Vitamin B 1 supplementation. Association of vitamin B1 with cardiovascular diseases...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services? There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans. Look into trade schools. Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion. Some scholarships are funded...

If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing.  Dermatitis herpetiformis is the epidermal expression of celiac disease. Most who have dermatitis herpetiformis also have damage happening to the small bowel lining as well but a small percentage do not. But dermatitis herpetiformis has a characteristic appearance to it, with the rash bumps having pustules in the center. It is also accompanied by a very uncomfortable itch. From...

They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test too, that tested for wheat iggs, igas and several other things, among which were Transglutaminases. The only one that came up as high for me was the tTG3 igg result, which shows an autoimmune response in the skin, commonly dermatitis herpetiformis in celiac patients. I was told it was gluten causing it but not celiac. Fast forward to now, I...

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services?   There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans.   Look into trade schools.  Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion.  Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing.   I agree with @Scott Adams.  Play your cards close to your chest.  Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now.  Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott...
