The other day I made a snack with dried cranberries, almonds, walnuts, and it needed a little something extra. So at the grocery store I see shelled sunflower seeds, and I thought "Perfect" a little salt with a little crunch with the sweet. So I poured the bag in, and then, only then looked at the ingredients. You would think it would read "sunflower seeds and salt." But, NO, it has WHEAT STARCH and a whole bunch of other crap in it. Can't they just leave things alone!!

It is amazing the places where you find gluten. I never thought that my favorite hair spray would have wheat starch in it, but it does. You have to read every label to be sure. This disease can be frustrating.

No... everything MUST have wheat in it or a dash of bread crumbs ;)

Believe it or not... I've found that the cheaper store brands of things like BBQ sauce and spaghetti sauce have less crappy ingredients and added modified food starch than many of the fancier brands. I always look there first.

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
