Question About Bloodwork

Y'all have been very helpful on my other posts, and this one is more "technical" in nature I guess... I already know that for whatever reason, I feel better gluten free and that if I'm gluten free for any length of time, eating certain products makes me nauseous...

My questions are this:

1) Blood work showed mild IgA deficiency, normal all else... What is the relationship of that to gluten intolerance/sensitivity? Is there any?

2) Somethings make me nauseous, others dont. Ceral, fine, waffle fine, nutrigrain bars, fine. Wheat bread or yeast rolls, instant nausea. A friend suggested a problem with candida (candida sensitivity? I'm not sure) but that that might explain why certain wheat products affect me and others don't. I should mention that I definitely have autoimmune problems. Have you heard of candida issues and do you agree that could be a factor in my gut problems??

Thanks, Jennifer

I have read that IgA deficiency is a risk factor for both celiac and autoimmune disorders. My daughter is also IgA deficient, about half normal. I hope others have more info for you. Good luck!

      The NIMA Gluten Sensor Is Back and Rebuilt for Greater Confidence

      I hope the new and improved NIMA sensor is everything this article says it is. However, I am uncomfortable with this post. I realize celiac.com has to sell advertising and have no objection with that. But this post seems a gray area where celiac.com is saying that they "reviewed and edited" the post, which implies endorsement from "a celiac disease expert...

      Italy Tests Nationwide Screening to Catch Hidden Celiac Disease in Children

      A broad screening program like this also has the potential to provide insight into the reasons why ~10% of people with HLA DQ2/DQ8 develop Celiac while the majority do not.

      Gluten Free Coffee

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain...

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

Went to my gastroenterologist in this past nov. said everything looks good . I am looking into coffee now and what I’ve read cross contamination is possible. I’m stumped.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
