Contamination

I'm rather new to this and have only been totally gluten free for 4 weeks. For years, I reduced my "wheat intake" and was always on a diet. As I've gotten older the gluten symptoms have worsened until I knew I had to go gluten free. Today my cleaning lady brought chicken sandwiches over for our lunch. I took the chicken off the bread with the radishes, tomatoes and rugala and had them as a salad. Next thing I know, I'm asleep in front of the TV for 2 hours. I woke up and began coughing like mad, my sinuses were draining, I had shortness of breath and my eyes were swollen and runny. I had a slight headache and my neck and shoulders hurt from fibromylagia symtoms. Luckily I didn't have intestinal distress....yet that is. I didn't think contamination would be an issue for me, but undoubtedly it is. Is it normal to have a reaction that fast? Your comments on the subject of contamination would be appreciated.

You may have a wheat allergy which results in your symptoms. Cross contamination must be a issue for you. For people with celiac or gluten sensitivities, taking the chicken off the bread is a big no no.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
