My daughter has celiac. Is it safe for her to be around/play in straw from wheat? We live on a farm and use the straw for bedding for our animals. Thanks

We have had some people have issues with this, the gluten is in the tops of the plant in the grain, if the child eats it, puts it in their mouth this can cause a issues. Due to the nature of it being a unground grain cross contamination concerns are greatly reduced but I would still avoid contact. Have them wash their hands when they come in, and insist they avoid rolling around in it.

I have Celiac Disease and I craft. I got pretty ill a couple of years ago while working with straw wreaths. Particles of the grain obviously contaminated the straw. I'm sure it's similar to eating naturally gluten-free items that run along the same assembly lines as those containing gluten. That's why oats processed in facilities that process wheat, barley, and rye are not necessarily safe.

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
