Gluten and 30 other Items causing me Severe Muscle Inflamation Pain
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing with your health. Dealing with celiac disease and multiple food sensitivities can indeed be overwhelming. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions based on your experience and the replies you've received: Confirming Diagnosis: It's great that your gastroenterologist confirmed your celiac disease... -

Waiting for urgent referral.
Thank you very much for your reply. I hadn't heard of celiac disease but began to notice a pattern of pain. I've been on the floor more than once with agonising pain but this was always put down to another abdominal problem consequently I've been on a roundabout of backwards and forwards with another consultant for many years. I originally questioned this... -

Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet
Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well. I also... -

Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet
@Spacepanther, I found these articles about the connection between Celiac and joint pain.

Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!
@Shireen32, Take some deep breaths. Your labs are fine! Your tTg IgA is so low! Well done! Your endomysial IgA is fine. There's not a level on the endomysial test. It's just "yes or no" for if you have celiac disease. No, it's too early to call it refractory. What are you eating? Please tell us more than meat and veg. Do you...

IrishHeart is absolutely right and has furnished a lot of great links to make her point. It's true that Celiacs specifically don't react topically to products containing wheat. For a Celiac, products containing gluten are fine as long as they're never going in or near your mouth. This is not to say, however, that someone may not have a wheat allergy apart from or in addition to Celiac or NCGS. A true allergy to wheat (not oral consumption of gluten that fuels an autoimmune disease) can create a topical reaction, even on unbroken skin. This could be part of the reason she considers herself "super sensitive", because the majority of even severe Celiacs on this forum aren't going to care whether or not the hair dye that they use maybe once a month has wheat in it. That being said, if you don't have a wheat allergy and you have Celiac or NCGS, you may find that a dye with wheat derivatives will work just fine for you. I can only tell you from personal experience that not everyone will tolerate it as well as the majority does.

What does this mean?
Copied from Irishheart's post:
"Source:
Open Original Shared Link
According to Dr. Alessio Fasano, Medical Director of the Center for Celiac Research, University of Maryland,
“If you have celiac disease, then the application of gluten containing products to the skin should not be a problem, unless you have skin lesions that allow gluten to be absorbed systemically in great quantities.""
Does that mean that there is scientific evidence for absorbtion of gluten with skin lesions?

I have never seen any myself but I think this is significant....he says
"systemically in great quantities "...I don't know what that means really...how would that even happen?
That's a question for Dr, Fasano, I think.

Systemically would be into your body. For example, lets say you have a skin condition like psoriasis or another condition that can give you open sores all over the body. Those open sores are now a gateway through your skin that is not normally there. At that point you really shouldn't put anything on those sore that wasn't designed to be put on them, because topical products are not meant to be introduced to your internal body system.

No, I know what the words "systematically" and "in great quantities" means what I am not sure of is how gluten could possibly be
administered "in great quantities" via the skin into open lesions. seems strange...Someone is going to roll around in wheat flour?
How is that possible since the gluten molecule is too large to pass through skin?
I have tried to figure this out...... Say you have open lesions galore...in what FORM
would gluten be administered to create a gut response? It just does not make sense and I have always been perplexed by this statement from Dr. Fasano.
Again, maybe we should write to Dr. F and ask him to clarify. Seriously, because there is NO evidence that gluten can pass through the skin
and somehow end up in the bloodstream.

Yep, what would you have to do, torture someone with a cutting device and then roll them in flour? Okay, I need to stop this wild imagination! LOL
