I was just over babysitting and my daughter got home and was going to make PB&Js for the kiddos.

I was on the sofa, she was in the kitchen. She comes out with white bread and goes, "is this bread bad? It smells like whiskey" I go, "is there mold on it it?" "No, it just smells funny."

So she puts it up to my face and I smell it and it smells like whiskey, and I go, "no, that's done turned, don't use it".

Before she could walk back into the kitchen, the right side of my face starting itching and burning. So I'm scratching it, not thinking anything of it. So I go and look in the mirror and I have this gigantic WELP on my face in the exact place the bread touched it!

You mean to tell me I can't TOUCH gluten? Come on now! I want to ask you all if this is possible, but it's right here on my FACE so it's possible.

Have any of y'all had reactions like that? I mean, with the tape at the hospital, that was one thing, but a piece of bread on my face for 2 seconds gives me welps?

I tell ya the truth, I am just absolutely dumbfounded by this one.

The things you get into! Maybe it's the mold or bacteria that made the bread smell bad reacting with your skin. Good thing the kids didn't eat it. Hope your face is better quick!

It wouldn't hurt to be allergy tested. One can be both wheat allergic and have gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

funny you said that, because we've been talking about getting me allergy tested, but it seems to be expensive and hard to "get at" around here.

When I told my mom, she goes, "Well, there's your wheat skin allergy test - you just saved yourself a lot of time trouble and money."

I've read many a post on here of people needing makeup, shampoo, etc that's gluten-free because of such things! I am not bothered that badly....yet, lol. I never even KNEW stuff like that had gluten in it! Bless your heart....a true allergy could be an issue for you.

I was thinking the same thing--there was a girl who used to post here a few years ago who was Celiac and allergic to wheat.

You should definitely get an allergy test for wheat. You might also consider testing for mold allergies. Some molds are very toxic, but not everyone reacts the same. If you have mold in your house it can make you very sick to the point of having neuro problems like some of the things you have shared on this board.

One of my co-workers is Celiac and allergic to wheat. We cannot make playdoh in the room because she'll have major issues and need to go to the hospital, and that's just from some of the flour sneezed on by a child and the flour poofs everywhere. She can't clean up after the playdough. If we do paper mache it has to be mixed elsewhere then brought in and she stays on the other side of the room while we do it. So yeah, I'd say your allergy test is positive.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
