Some people with DH do lousy on the blood antibody tests. They hoard all their gliaden antibodies in their skin instead of their bloodstream. So they may test negative on blood antibodies but still have plenty of antibodies in the skin. Sometimes they even flunk the endoscopy tests for the same reason.
Hi Wade, I use plain water to rinse foods. I suppose it might be better to use a little Dawn dish soap or some such on fruit like apples that is waxed. But I don't usually do that. It's a good idea to rinse foods off anyway to reduce germs. You never know what kid has wiped his nose on an apple in the produce section! Plus like Ennis said there is the wonderful in store bread bakery trend these days where they can have flour wafting through the air. My local Kroger seems to have a pretty good ventilation system set up so most of the heat from baking is exhausted and probably most of the flour with it. But you never know for sure. People working on making bread may have flour on their uniform sleeves and spread it around. Also the flour section is often messy with leaking flour bags spilling gluten around. So the stuff can be present in different areas in a grocery store. And get spread unintentionally. The person stocking flour may be stocking candy the next hour. I don't think buying organic is a bad thing. But I don't think it helps as far as avoiding gluten. The issue is cross-contamination of gluten on/in supposedly gluten free foods. And that cross-contamination can happen to both organic and non-organic foods. It seemed to me that I was very sensitive to gluten exposure when I first went gluten-free. Even slight amounts would make me sick. You may find the same to be true for you. I think that is because our immune systems are in high gear at first. So even smelling bread baking or going through the bread isle can bother some people. After a while on the gluten-free diet the immune system may calm down and not be so quick to react to minor exposures. That can take some time to happen though, maybe years, Some other foods to watch out for and avoid at first are dairy and oats. Many of us are lactose intolerant for several months after going gluten-free. That may go away though. And some of us are intolerant to oats like we are to wheat, rye, and barley. Oats can also be cross-contaminated in the processing or harvesting. -
