Hi, I was wondering, after being off gluten for over 3 years, should I see a specialist when my symptoms reoccure? Such as with an accidental glutening? Does anyone on this board see a specialist for maintenance?

When I hit three years gluten-free, I'll probably get evaluated again by endoscopy, biopsy, bone density test, etc. As far as glutening, I don't think there is anything the doctors can do for you when this happens. I'm recovering from a bad bout of it myself right now.

If you get a severe reaction from glutening, they can give you steroids. They work like a miracle. It happened once to me.

ENF: Your probably right about not being able to anything for us when we get contaminated. Percoset help eleviate the cramping but I don't know any doctor that would prescribe a narotic for prn use. Tee! Hee! I had some left over from my gall bladder surgery and was able to use one when I felt the cramps coming on. I know once they start I can't hardly swallow my own saliva let alone a pill.

Did you read somewhere that you should be retested or is this something you would like to do for peace of mind?

Generic: I just did a steroid taper and a shot of steroid, I cant remember the name right now. They worked great for a short peroid of time but once they were out of my system the itching came right back. Boo Hoo! How long do you do the steroids for and how much do you take?

Drugs don't really help with glutening - at least the type of symptoms that I had.

As far as getting retested, I've had blood tests since going gluten-free, and the results have been negative - but I know that I've been glutened by BEANO, and the test didn't show any elevated antibodies, possibly it was too little to come out. That test was performed by my GP, not a gastroenterologist.

I would like to get another endoscope and biopsy to see if there is a noticeable improvement in the villi, since it was moderately bad when I first got one for Celiac. In Dr. Peter Green

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Any Gluten-free Lipstick At Walgreens, Wal-mart, Etc?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.
