So I have this small book of temporary fairy tattoos. It lists ingredients in the back of the book:

PVA (polyvinyl acetate) CoPlymer, POlyester resin, modified varnish, deoderized petroleum, silicon dioxide, aluminum silicate, iron oxide, FD&C yellow #5 & 6 Aluminum Lake, D&C Red #7 Lake, FD&C Blue #1 Aluminum Lake. ALL COLORS FOLLOW FDA COSMETIC REGULATIONS.

Additional ingredients: Gllutter tattoos may contain cosmetic polyester glutter, glow in the dark tattoos have luminescent zinc sulfide.

Are any of these ingredients a worry?

One of my banjo students gave me some frogs last night. I'm going to wait until Saturday and make the first eight people who show up for the jam session wear them. And if I'm in a particularly "evil" mood, I'm going to tell them that they have to play every song this day in the key of F.

I always joke with my regulars that it is my shop, so they have to "obey" me. :lol: Life is fun when you're feeling good!

That's a terribly annoying response as skin is a large and porous organ which means a product with fake dyes and gluten can absorb directly into the blood stream. I wouldn't make a sarcastic judgement call on something you don't seem to know much about and I wouldn't use anything processed on your body if you have a serious gluten allergy.

Wow!  I was a smart ass 7 years ago!  And look how young I looked!  ?

 

skin is porous to a point- obviously not everything can pass thru all the layers of the skin.  And gluten proteins are too large for that.  People with Celiac are not a “ gluten allergy”.  I know many people use that term, but it’s not exactly true.

What Karen said is true!  

Here are the facts based on medical research and not FAKE news:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/celiac-disease/expert-answers/celiac-disease/faq-20057879

By the way, the Mayo clinic is one of the leading celiac research centers.

If you are reacting to wheat on skin, you may have a wheat allergy (IgE response) instead of celiac disease where gluten (wheat, rye or barley proteins) must be swallowed in order to get an autoimmune reaction (body attacks small intestine).

I was basing my comments on that section on skin in A&P class and that biology class- I can’t remember the exact name of -on body systems & the one about body chemistry.  Just some random college classes.   And some stuff some Celiac researchers told me.  ?

but Mayo is good too!  ?

      New Study Reveals Hidden Gut Damage in Celiac Disease—Even Without Gluten (+Video)

      After reading the study on Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease I stopped eating processed foods that have milk as an ingredient. Though Gluten Free, "in a fraction of coeliac patients, Cows Milk protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge". After three months my lower belly...

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.
