Kim Kardashian was "flour bombed" Thursday night -- that is, someone hurled a baggie of flour at her -- as she arrived on the red carpet to market the launch of her new fragrance.

Was Kim K Assulted if the flour contained Gluten??? Does one need to have DH to be assulted??? Others in the crowd were exposed to the flour too... IMHO, Flour Bombs are an assult on one's health and should be prosecuted...

I saw that, too. I thought how awful that would be for Celiacs. I don't have DH but I'm sure you would swallow some by it getting in your mouth & breathing it in. The News said Kim asked that the " thrower" not be prosecuted.

I have DH & just skin contact may cause an issue with me....

There are some that believe "no press is bad press."

I would not have willingly looked at another picture of K.K. if it weren't for a flour bomb.

My disgust for KK and her family aside, :rolleyes::P

I would DEFINITELY press charges against someone if they flour bombed me. Gluten is poison to me and I would make sure the "thrower" was made aware that it is considered dangerous and life-threatening to me. (I do not have DH myself, but I am put down and out for weeks from gluten CC)

If nothing else, I would tie them up in court and get some press for the cause! :lol:

I wonder why the person chose flour as the weapon of choice??? why not a cream pie? :)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
