Could someone tell me some over the counter products that are gluten free. Things like shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, deodorant and such. I go to the sights and get no real answer. Thank you so much as I am on a limited budget as I don't work now.

Most product are. I tend to avoid some like Aveeno (sp?) that has oatmeal, but most are fine.  just bring a magnifying glass to the store to read the teeny tiny labels.

You don't need to worry about things like stick deodorant. Just worry about the things that might get in your mouth.

Like Nicole said, bring your reading glasses - the wheat germ oil in the hair spray is pretty obvious in the ingredient list. :)

Thank you so much, it seems like a lot of things have gluten and it seems so hard at times.

I just read the labels to make sure that there are no gluten ingredients.

 

If possible, I buy stuff that is labelled gluten free.

It IS hard at times.  Just give yourself a few extra minutes when shopping, to read labels, and you'll do fine. :)

I use either Garneir products or Suave. Both will label clearly and are inexpensive.

I didn't check it for being gluten free, but I am using Ban deodorant (green container). I bought it in Sept. and it is now Feb. and I am still on the same container! It lasts forever. So budget-wise, if you are looking for something that isn't too expensive and lasts a long time, I recommend that!

Dove shampoo

Red Apple Lipstick (one line order and awesome) ...this is a start.  You can venture out a bit later. :

 

And hair stray - ick -don't do that.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      Yes, that's the one. IGA Quantitative. What is the reference range given for that one? If no reference range was given, is there another notation associated with it indicating it was either low or high or neither? If not, I would assume your score does not indicate IGA deficiency.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      The IGA tests 5 years ago were: Transglutaminase IGA (EMY IGA) (CENT-tTG), <2 Immunoglobulin A (CENT-IGA), 246 IgA Quantitative was done last month, that was 261. Is that the one you mean?

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      When you say a GI doc did an IGA five years ago and it was negative, which IGA measure do you speak of. There are several possibilities. Do you refer to the tTG-IGA? Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test...

One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen...

Have you had a total IGA test done? It isn't a test for celiac per se but can establish whether or not you are IGA deficient. If you are IGA deficient, it will drive individual IGA test scores down and can result in false positives. The tTG-IGA should always be accompanied by a total IGA test. When people are IGA deficient and actually do have celiac disease we often see it detected by the IGG tests. The same can be said if they have been skimping on gluten previous to the blood draw and, IMO, negatives in the IGA test spectrum with positives in the IGG spectrum can also point to NCGS or NCGS transitioning to celiac.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. I agree that if your biopsy ends up negative, that you still may need to be gluten-free, as you could be in the non-celiac gluten sensitivity area. 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. Be sure to eat lots of gluten daily until your endoscopy, otherwise you could get false negative results.

      I had several celiac blood tests done at a rheumatologist last month. I've had many possible symptoms over the last 23 years, including GERD/LPR, constipation, and recently joint stiffness and pain in my hands. It all started during my first pregnancy. 1/160 ANA back then as well as now with no autoimmune diagnosis. I've had undiagnosed high fevers, swollen lymphs nodes, ear pain, miscarriages, to name just a few more symptoms. I can't help but be upset at the many doctors I've been to that have missed this. A GI doctor only did the IgA 5 years ago, which was negative then too, and didn't do a biopsy as a result during an endoscopy shortly after. Deaminated Gliadin IgG Antibody test was 90, >15 being abnormal.   Deaminated Gliadin IgA Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, negative I'm scheduled for a biopsy at the end of January. The new GI doctor thinks if not celiac, I will still need to be gluten free the rest of my life due to the antibodies my body is producing. I feel like it's got to be celiac. I've been consuming gluten every day to prepare for this test. It can't come soon enough.  Thoughts on that IgG being positive and the others negative? I haven't gotten a clear explanation for that yet. Thanks in advance for any input!!
