One possibility might be that your reaction that you consider a gluten reaction might actually be a combination of things you react to when they are together, or the gluten reaction is worse when you react to something else at the same time, or sometimes not even a gluten reaction at all. Sulfite allergy is one thing you can check that actually sounds...

I don't know that there have been any studies on gluten particles specifically, but there have been studies on various allergens and whether particles are present in the air after processes such as boiling, frying, etc.... So far, the evidence is that there are enough particulates aerosolized by cooking processes that an allergic person can respond. Again...

Yeah, I have before. :-( Toothpaste sounds like a good thing to check. Another you might want to check is if he uses chapstick or any other lip balm - that frequently has gluten and he might not be thinking about it. There was a study on peanuts and kissing that had some interesting results. What they boiled down to is that how much protein remains...

It's a possibility, yes. You're correct in that some people would get damage from this, and not everyone will show symptoms. It's a very frustrating situation, because some people don't seem to be affected by this - they do this, they feel fine, and their follow up tests are fine as well, as well. There's just no way to know which category you are in until...

For me, I tried all kinds. 4 varieties of Lundberg rice (including brown), 2 different brands of thai black rice, 2 brands of thai red (cargo) rice, and I think 5 more brands of white rices (love those Asian markets!). I react every, single time, to all grains and pseudo grains, but I don't actually think it's the grains themselves anymore, necessarily. ...

Hello T.H. I just wanted to say thank you for the response you posted on my "Glutened?" thread a while back!

Did you by any chance mention where you lived when you were speaking to them? Sometimes when I'm talking to a company and they have an either/or ingredient that something is derived from, it's often different by country. Like, wheat derived ingredient for Britain, but corn derived for the USA. Might be worth calling them back to see if that's the issue with... -
Wow, that's a scary one! You know, it's things like this - the really bad reactions to gluten that are strange and unusual but potentially deadly - that make the idea of a gluten challenge to get diagnosed such a hot button for me. Potential celiacs are never told that one of the risks of a gluten challenge is that they could literally have a fatal...

There's a few other things it could be aside from the pork, too, actually. Antibiotic residue that remains in the meat is one that can do you in - I had this problem crop up after going gluten free, when I started trying to eat meats. I don't know if pigs get different antibiotics than other animals to make them the only one you'd react to, but it might...

If you do decide to go for sea salt, to avoid the dextrose or anti-caking agents in so much of the iodized salt, just make sure to up your sea food intake significantly or find a good iodine supplement. I did react to contamination in my salt, but I also react to pretty much all processed food, too. If you are eating processed food without much trouble...

I couldn't say that MS can be completely ruled out - celiacs tend to be in a higher risk category for developing other auto-immune disorders - but I CAN say that white matter brain lesions can be related to Celiac Disease, it's believed. white matter brain lesions in Celiac Disease There's been more than one study on this type of thing - neurological...
-
Yeah, when a result like that comes up, I tend to doubt it, too. The tests just aren't that accurate when it comes to predicting an allergy or food problem. As I understand it, elevated IgE indicates an allergy that gives the hives/anaphylactic reaction if it gets bad enough. A signficant number of people with elevated IgE to a certain food have elevated...

You know, we've got a symptom now that I never realized WAS a symptom, but now I'm finding more people who have this as well: hyper-sensitive senses. Anyone else get this? Essentially, within about 24 hours, sounds are more irritating/loud. Certain people's high pitched voices make me want to yell at them. Taste can be off, where sour or bitter is a stronger...

plantar fasciitis disappeared and I had pulled muscles/sprains that never seemed to fully heal - 10 years old! - that finally did after only a few months gluten-free. So count me in, too!

Thanks T.H. I saw you sent me a mssg couple days ago but Im new to the site-just figured out how to find your mssg. Thank you for your concern. I will pass the info that you provided me, on to my wife. She is currently trying to elimiinate salicilate and is going to try sticking to the basics for a bit, meat,fruits,veges. She has been doing OK for the last couple days-more energy, etc.

It's more the cc issue that can be a problem, from what I understand.
-
I always hear that about rice, too, but so far, I've had reactions to four varieties of rice (brown and white, both), from multiple companies, so I'm thinking it does me in, yeah. And I recall reading somewhere that allergies to rice seem to be on the rise in some countries where it is more of a staple. Haven't tracked that comment down to see how true...
-
I know that we celiacs often have other sensitivities/allergies, and as a sensitive celiac, a lot of times I've been told that I'm likely reacting to something else and thinking it's gluten. Because a lot of things cause gut reactions. So here's my question - for how many of you is that a possibility? Do you have reactions to gluten that you never get...
-
I can totally understand that - and I agree, that's a good thing. I can remember that first shopping trip after going gluten free, so overwhelming. Just reading the labels alone felt impossible. It's something that I think I have to be more aware of, at times, because my family had to go SO extreme that it's hard to remember how many people don't. ...

Hi! thanks for your thoughts about the oral allergy syndrome. I have googled it in the past. This weird burning tongue and mouth thing has been going on since July 2009!! No one knows what it is, except maybe inflammation of the GI tract from stem to stern (LOL) I had allergy testing done--all foods, all trees, all molds, etc....and I have NO allergies!! I know, I said H...

My father is pretty much the same. He's never called a company about their gluten free status. He goes by labels. I can't. And...I don't know if I can describe how this thinking comes about well enough, but I'm really going to try, because just from talking with my father, I know it probably seems crazy-over-the-top to you for people to do this. And I guess...
