Will I have ever learn all these names for gluten? I realized that I was still getting gluten. After I took my shower I was eating a gluten free snack. I can tell if I eat something right away. My eye gets kind of watery and itchy. I went through the ingredients on my body washes. Found two with gluten. One was a baby bath no less. The other was a CVS, compare to Dove. This really makes me mad at myself too.

Not a dumb question at all. The thing is that it takes a very, very small amount of gluten to get a reaction. In the case of body wash, it can be the spray from the shower that bounces off the shower curtain or door misting back onto your lips. Then the residue from the gluten dries on your lips. When you eat, the gluten comes off on your food when you take a bite.

Even if you're careful to avoid getting it on your lips, it's on your hands and you'd gluten yourself if you touch your food without washing your hands with gluten-free soap first.

For me, shampoo is the worst because I can't seem to stop messing with my hair or pushing it out of my face.

Thank you. I do think that it is unfair that they can use so many different names. Actually all my life I've had trouble finding soap, body wash, cosmetics, shampoo, etc. that didn't make me itch. I just could never figure out exactly what ingredient or ingredients were getting me. I've even had hypo allergenic get me. At least now I know why. Of course it isn't always easy to read the ingredients because they print them so small.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
