    There definitely can be for a few reasons: If you don't eat gluten for at least 3 months before testing, if you're IgA deficient, if the lab messes up, etc. It's definitely possible. Prometheus is a good lab to send the blood to. And some people just test negative but respond very well to a gluten-free diet....or get a negative blood, but positive Enterolab...

    I know that it all has a chance, but then you could also say that there's a chance for cross-contamination is you touch anything that has been touched by a person who has eaten gluten....a keyboard, telephone, etc. I think things that get close to your mouth or very easily on your hands, such as sunscreen are more important to check than this.

    Here's a good explanation from Richard (lovegrov) in another post:

    I've never tried them, but Kinnikinick makes donuts that seem to be the most popular.

    Spelt is not gluten-free . It is a form of wheat.

    It's not a silly question....there are no such things as silly questions here since many of us started out not knowing what celiac disease or gluten was in the first place. Stuff in your supermarket almost always will not mention that it's suitable for celiacs...you need to call to ask on most things. In the case of corn flour, however, being that it...

    Umm....does he have a skin reaction or get sick? Deodorant shouldn't be a problem (besides w/ a skin reaction) since it shouldn't get digested, thus doing damage to the villi.

    Sorry...we've had a couple slow days and I got no articles. Here are some new ones, though: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I checked 2 others I got in the alert and they had no pertinence to celiac disease....sorta like the ones I've been getting the past few days about importation of corn gluten

    An IgA deficiency can make your otherwise positive test appear questionable or negative, which is why your doctor reconsidered after learning this. I am surprised, though, that if your biopsy showed damage, you weren't put on a gluten-free diet due to that. Anyway, it sounds as if your doctor made the right decision

    Bye!!! I sometimes don't eat butter at the restaurant if it's just an....open stick that is so likely contaminated... And welcome to the big apple!

    Centrum is gluten-free and I'd recommend that. I'd also recommend that you start taking a folic acid supplement

    I'm not in favor of wearing them in general because if you can't talk and need treatment for something life threatening, glutening yourself should be the least of your concerns. It might be good for intimidating waiters/waitresses at restaurants, though.

    With a diet that is otherwise 100% devoid of gluten, the low-gluten host is a sensible and fine alternative. The average "gluten-free diet", however, no matter how careful you are, contains a degree of gluten, though not anywhere near the amount needed to get you sick (according to Anne Lee). My view of this, though, is that the low-gluten host is fine...

    Aww...Ratzinger is pope and with this election we currently have no chance of the Catholic Church accepting rice Communions...... The religion folder at Delphi is full of disappointed Catholics.....If anyone wants to read what some people there are thinking I can copy and paste...just let me know. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

    Risotteria is in the West Village (way downtown). Grand Central is at 42nd street and Bleecker Street is...right around third street. To get there, you could go to Grand Central, take the 6 train (subway) downtown and get off at "Bleecker Street." That puts you on the east side still, though. Then you walk west....here, they have a map of where they are...

    I know Elmer's glue is gluten-free.....and that's good to get a gluten-free play doh, which typically is not gluten-free.
  17. celiac3270
    Umm...would it work to make them into treats? Like....an apple dipped in gluten-free caramel sauce or Hershey's choc. sauce or strawberries with whipped cream and/or some sugar? Yes--definitely a vitamin. Does he swallow them? If so, Centrum is gluten-free and has a full supply.

    There are endless possibilites, but about the ones suggested so far....I love hockey, but I'm so annoyed at the strike and as much as I love the sport, a hockey player wouldn't be a...role model to me...I want to do something more intellectual with my life . Uhh.....I don't have any dream destination...don't watch cartoons, just reality tv . I could get...

    Absolutely ridiculous....I was looking at samples from their archives online a few weeks ago--nothing of the sort--(btw, I was looking at their publication on the oats study...unfortunately, I would've had to pay to read it). No cure...I liked your response.

    If you go to your doctor, GI or regular, you can have a blood panel done for allergies.....

    All flavors of V8 Splash are gluten-free and very tasty. They contain veggies (primarily carrots) and fruits. Would he drink it? If you don't tell him that it contains veggies/fruits, that is.

    Oh, right...I was anxious, too . Since I was getting sick all the time, but seemingly randomly and I didn't know when it would hit, I would try to get everything done as early as possible (for example, a lot of weekend homework done on Friday, or studying for a test a couple days before I actually had to, in case I got sick and couldn't study the day...

    Kidney disease definitely and then a couple forms of cancer, but I think they're restricted to the intestines.
  24. celiac3270
    Well, if it got in your mouth it could cause a problem, but theoretically, a non-gluten-free shampoo won't cause problems. In other words, it cannot be absorbed through the skin.
  25. celiac3270
    If you can do so without sounding pushy, I would say, "It's my body. If I get sick, I'm the one who will feel the effects. Even a crumb of gluten will severely damage my intestines and could, besides giving me short-term symptoms (whether you want to mention gas or not is up to you) can lead to anemia and a host of complications: diabetes, intestinal cancers...
