I'm new to this and all this stuff is new to me. If I'm understanding this correctly, if I wanted gluten-free milk, cheese, etc. I should probably buy Organic. Or am I wrong on this? I'm so confused lately.

Chasing, organic would just mean that whatever they fed the dairy cows was organic. So they could feed them organic, as opposed to conventional, wheat. See what I mean?

Still gluten even if organic.

Thanks for posting the email from Dr J. I read this thread last night and have been thinking about the safety of eating meat of grain fed beef. So I was really intereseted in that part. I am even happier not that we have started raising our own chickens and they are corn and scrap fed (fruits, and veggies).

Chasing, you can buy grass fed beef it may or may not be organic. In our state (Maine) it is expensive to become certified organic so many of the local farmers do not label their products this way. However they are available at the local health food store and it states on the package that they are grass fed.

My next question is how do we know that grass isn't like wheat, barley, rye, etc? I mean in the sense that it would be difficult for someone with celiacs to digest.

I also want to add that my family drinks raw milk and we have never been ill from it. I think it is homoginized, I don't know if that takes out the buggies. It comes from a farm a few miles out side of town. Last fall we visited it and pet all the really sweet dairy cows. One kept trying to eat my daughters hair that was dry and bleached like straw from the summer! Their facility is really clean, the milk tastes sooo much better, and it comes in glass jars that you return to the store for a deposit, so there is not waste, nothing to throw away when the bottles empty. I haven't heard of anyone hear becoming ill, but if I made the decision to drink it I would want to find out where it came from. I let my sister drink it for several months to see if she and her son got sick before I started giving it to my family :P . We are off the white stuff presently.

      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.

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
