Has anyone had this happen to them? I was baking choc. chip cookies for my boyfriend, you know the kind we all miss with all that bad gluten in them, anyway I was drinking a cup of coffee while doing so. I became really sick later that evening. I am wondering if because flour is so dusty if it could have flown into my coffee at some point while using the mixer. What do you think. I am just getting ready to have a genetic blood test done but thougt I have been gluten free for at least 3 years but now I have to wonder!!!

It's never happened to me, but this is the reason why I refuse to have wheat flour in my house. No matter how careful you are, that stuff gets all over the place! It's nearly impossible to clean up.

I've heard of people reacting to wheat flour in the air. It gets breathed in and ingested that way. I suppose it could have been in your coffee as well, but I think the air is sufficient.

When one uses a mixer, the flour does fly into the air. Also, the flour could have gotten on your fingers as you baked and cleaned up and you inadvertently touched your mouth or whatever before thoroughly washing your hands. I won't bake with the gluteny stuff anymore just to be safe. My relatives are going to have to make my signature Thanksgiving dessert for themselves from now on if they want it.

I hope you get feeling better.

Just curious -- why are you getting genetic testing now, if you've been gluten-free for 3 years? Obviously you have reacted positively to the diet. If one believes Dr. Fine of Enterolab, at least, about every gene out there except one usually found in Asians is either a celiac gene or a gluten intolerance gene. You have to have more than the genes to know if gluten is a problem. Since you have been gluten-free for 3 years, I don't know that any test can tell you that. Unless you go back on gluten ...

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

      Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano, There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

      No, not if you've got an official diagnosis already.   Let's continue our conversation on this thread... Thanks
