Hey Y'All, I was diagnosed 4 years ago with celiac disease. Been gluten free ever since except when things aren't labeled correctly. I feel like a new person now. In fact, I feel better at 60 than I did at 20.

Has anyone ever heard of Cold Ofg Gluten???

A friend was told she has this by her doctor. I am just curious since it is something I've never heard of. Someone please answer if you have any idea. Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary, I cannot answer your question, maybe you should call your doctor about it or search the Internet.

I hope you find some answers ......

Maybe your friend misheard the doctor. He/she should call the doctor's office to get more info & make sure she/he heard him/her correctly.

...Whenever my son had a gluten ingestion insident--until he was 2-3 years old, he would always get a 103F fever for 3 days....

That was our "cold of gluten"! :o

maybe your doc meant cold agglutinins - a test used to look for certain viral infections (especially mycoplasma, mononucleosis, and some others).

Has nothing to do with gluten/celiac

Just pointing out this is a very old thread - Maryb no longer posts on the forum. :)

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
