Hi everyone, I've only registered on this site today, and I've already had lots of advice which I thank you all, but what does 'glutened' mean?

Welcome to the forum!

Basically, it means that someone that generally does not eat gluten, has ingested gluten, either accidental (cross-contamination with a gluten source) or on purpose.

For example, someone may eat at a restaurant, get sick from cross contamination, and say they were "glutened." Or, they may eat a product, and then later realize it wasn't gluten free - they were "glutened."

Happygirl is correct.

As a linguist of sorts, I will offer that this is a good example of a noun being "verbed." For example, you can't "Xerox" a document, but you can copy it using a Xerox machine. You can't "Hoover" the rug, but you can clean it using a Hoover vacuum cleaner. :angry:

Rant over.

Welcome aboard. :)

Well, yes, you may object to "verbed " nouns (or "nouned" verbs or "adjectived" verbs) but they are devilishly convenient and often more descriptive. To state that one has been glutened is totally different from stating that one has consumed gluten; the former implies a negativity, something that has been done to one (that one did not desire), while the latter is a neutral statement.

By the way, what does "mean" mean?? :o (Remind you of anyone? :lol: )

Enough silliness. Sorry to turn your perfectly proper question into nonsense, evey67, but I hope it at least answered your question. We usually reserve such silliness for the Silly Yaks thread.

Thank you all for the little titter I had over some replies, but most of all for the clarification of that point :wacko:

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
