Hi! We're New.

Good evening! I have been reading the board for several months and have learned a lot. We chose on our own to have our son tested with Enterolab. We received his results on Thursday.

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 17 (Normal Range <10)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score <300 (Normal Range <300 units)

Fecal Anticasein IgA antibody 14 units (Normal Range <10 units)

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0501

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 1,2 (Subtype 2,5)

Fecal anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA antibody 16 units (Normal Range <10 units)

Fecal Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (dietary yeast) IgA 15 units (Normal Range <10 units)

Fecal Anti-Soy IgA 22 units (Normal Range <10 units)

So, we are removing gluten, casein, egg, soy, and yeast! I worked on cleaning out the freezer, pantry, and refrigerator today. We are going to focus on a pretty basic diet for a while---meats, fish, fruits, veggies, and rice.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Do I need to replace Tupperware type containers that have had gluten containing grains in them or will washing in the dishwasher take care of it? We will replace the toaster. What other kitchen utensils etc should we replace?

WElcome!!!!!!!

It's kind of daunting at first but it gets easier...especially as you start to feel better! I feel like a new person!

Tupperwear is kind of up in the air. Some get rid of it, some don't. I kept all mine that didn't have any scratches, stains ect and got rid of those that did. Some people chuck them all and start fresh. I haven't reacted to keeping mine. Same goes for pots and pans...any that have sratches...I chucked!

I would replace any wooden utensils if you use wood.They are too iffy!

I would replace your colander if you used plastic.

New baster brush.

New toaster.

Other than that I use the stuff I had pre diagnosis.

Be sure to check your toothpaste, lipstick and mouth wash.

Good luck and welcome to the board, it has been a HUGE help to me!!!

Books I recommend: "Living Gluten Free for Dummies" by Dana Korn and "Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic" by Dr.Peter Green!!! Both are very helpful and you can buy tehm together for around $30 on amazon .com

Hello and Welcome!

I was one of those that got rid of a lot of stuff. I kept my stainless steel pans, but got rid of my non-stick stuff. I got rid of my wooden spoon and things like that, because it just seems like I wouldn't be able to get them clean enough.

I bought new strainers, but this time got stainless steel instead of plastic.

I had just purchased a new toaster oven, so since I was able to remove most of the insides for cleaning, didn't worry too much about that.

Thanks! I will replace the colander, toaster, and make for sure the Tupperware does not have scratches. We don't use wooden utensils so that's not an issue.

I have Living Gluten Free for Dummies and have found it very helpful. I'll also be looking for cookbooks to help with the other sensitivities.

We told our son that we are going to focus on what the positive and what we can have as the whole family is doing this. I will involve him in helping make menus and finding recipes to try.

Once again thanks for the welcome and answering my questions.

Allene,

Just wanted to welcome you to the board :). Happy that you have found this site.

A good magazine you might be interested in is Sully's Living Without....deals with food sensitivities.

Best of luck! :)

Welcome,

And just wanted to add - we were told to get rid of our old cutting board (even though it wasn't wood).

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Is Purito's Oat In Calming Gel Cream safe for celiacs?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since they make not "gluten-free" claim on their site: https://purito.com/product/new-oat-in-calming-gel-cream/ I'd treat this as though it contains small amounts to gluten, but I just want to mention that skin contact with gluten isn't an issue for the vast majority of celiacs.

      Reportable Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your frustration is completely valid and speaks to a massive, systemic failure in how chronic autoimmune conditions like celiac disease are managed and tracked. You are absolutely right—it is not right. While reportable diseases typically refer to acute infectious outbreaks that require immediate public health intervention (like measles or foodborne illness), the spirit of your point is crucial: the lack of a centralized registry or formal tracking for celiac means patients are often left to navigate a maze of medical gaslighting and ignorance on their own, exactly as you've experienced for decades. This dismissal has real and devastating consequences on mental and physical health. Channeling your anger into advocacy is a powerful and necessary response. Starting with local representatives, your state's health department, or patient advocacy groups (like Beyond Celiac or the Celiac Disease Foundation) to lobby for better physician education and systemic recognition could be a impactful way to turn your painful experience into a force for change, so others don't have to suffer the same nightmare. You are not alone in this fight.

      Emergency Room

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you went through such a terrifying and severe reaction; that sounds absolutely awful and it's completely understandable that you ended up in the ER. Unfortunately, pizzerias are indeed one of the highest-risk places for cross-contact, as gluten-containing flour can stay airborne for hours and contaminate surfaces, utensils, and even the gluten-free ingredients. For your recovery, the best course is to continue exactly what you're doing: prioritize rest and hydration with electrolytes like Pedialyte, as your body has been through a massive ordeal. Stick to very simple, easy-to-digest foods like bone broth, plain rice, bananas, or applesauce for the next few days to avoid further upsetting your system. Be patient with yourself, as the weakness and fatigue can linger for a while as the inflammation subsides. It's a brutal reminder of how serious this is, and while it's devastating that one of your rare meals out went so wrong, your caution is completely justified. I hope you feel back to 100% very soon.
