Celiac And Cc

Today is not a good day. I've only been gluten-free for about 4 weeks and have been feeling very good, with the exception of a couple of accidental cc's - I licked an envelope, and a couple of other mistakes. But today, I have been very diligent but it wasn't until I read someone say their dog food had contaminated them that I grabbed the dog food bag and there it is! Part of the first ingredients list is ground wheat. So, thanks to this site, I will be so much more aware when feeding the dog and playing with her now.

Thanks to everyone who contributes their experiences on this site, you are all making it better for the rest of us, I've learned so much from you.

Just wash your hands ALOT after you feed her and play with her. I also wash after giving my dog his treats (he is a trick dog). Lots of hand washing!!!!!

Envelopes can make us sick? I have been writing to my husband twice a week since he deployed with no ill effects...good to know.

I too have animals and I feed my dog-dog (yes, I repeated that lol) using a tupperware scoop and then wash my hands. Also, while I was pregnant I used gloves because I was super sensitive.

You know, K8ling, now that I've done more research and had more experience with this disease, maybe not! All the sites I've read about envelope glue and postage glue say it's gluten free.

What I have discovered tho is that I have been CCing myself from time to time when feeding the dog. So, very possible the envelope glue didn't cause the reaction I had but it was from feeding my doggie that morning.

Thanks for the heads up.

check out Natural Balance dog food. It's gluten-free. We have 5 dogs so feeding plus treats was a challenge. I am still careful to clean up after, wash hands etc ~ but I feel more comfortable. Plus it's much easier when we are traveling in our rv with all of them. Yes! all five of them. lol

There's a reasonable amount of dog foods out there that are gluten-free. Dogs can get celiac disease as well (seeing as how most mammals shouldn't be consuming it) and it's apparently quite common in certain breeds. Be extra suspicious of brands that use "wheat-free" claims as they most often times replace the wheat with barley, look for brands labeled specifically for sensitive stomach as these are (coincidentally?) most often times gluten free.

You reminded me of something funny that happened at work. I sat at my desk, addressed a note to a client, addressed the envelop, stuck the note in the envelope, licked the envelop to seal it and ALL OF A SUDDEN REMEMBERED THAT glue contains gluten. I ran to the kitchen of our office and spit in the sink, then swished my mouth with water and spit, repeating a few (well, several) times. That's when I remembered that our office is under constant camera surveillance.

Nobody has asked me about the incident. Snort. How embarrashing. If envelop glue isn't glutenous, I'd like too know the source of your knowledge. It's been listed on every list I've seen, including South Beach Diet (source of carb calories).

Oops, I responded strongly and irrationally regarding the envelop thing, and was clearly out of line. Something has me whacked today, eiter carageen or corn, not sure which. Double sorry.

I believe the envelope glue thing is one of the mis-information items that gets passed around the internet so many times it becomes fact...despite not being fact. :( Right up there with poor old vinegar.

As for dog treats, Nutro has a great line of blueberry, carrot, and apple flavored treats that are gluten-free. :)

I didn't realize that Nutro has a line of doggie treats. My dog, an 80-lb golden retriever/yellow lab mix, has been on Nutro Lite dog food (the lamb and rice version) since she was about a year old as she was having chronic ear infections while on her previous beefy dog food. She does get Milk Bone treats but only at night after which I wash my hands well before touching anything else. I'll have to check into the Nutro treats. Thanks!

Rice Chex make good doggie treats. They are low fat and low calorie. Good for training or when you need to give several treats.

From what I have read, wheat isn't really good for dogs. They don't digest it well. Its used as a cheap filler.

Rice Chex makes good people treats, too. laugh.gif

And that's probably why wheat is also used as a cheap filler in people food, too. ph34r.gif

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
