If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission. They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.

Gluten-Free Food Ingredients That Can Trigger Celiac Disease and IBS-like Symptoms
Potatoes contain glycoalkaloids that promote leaky gut syndrome. This is where food particles can get into the bloodstream and cause problems in other places. Potatoes in processed foods are often bleached with sulfites to keep the color light. Sulfite sensitivity can occur in Celiac.- additives

I hadn't heard of patatin before. Apparently, it is similar in structure to and cross-reactive with latex. People who react to latex may also react to chitinase, which is found in many vegetables as a defence mechanism against invertebrate pests. Maybe this is what you are reacting to. Chitinase is found in many plants including wheat and maize. https...- 1

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. -

If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission. They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress. Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission. -

Hi Theresa, A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc. 18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony. It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared. Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer. It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something. Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration. Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens. Thanks for the reminder. Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies
