Now I have 3 major things that are dangerous to me, Gluten, Corn, and Whey from dairy. I can deal with being around my other issues but these I can not.
Now keeping gluten out was pretty much eliminated awhile back after the burrito incident. IE I cater lunch every day and provide snacks to everyone.
BUT the sorry SOB keeps sneaking in corn syrup sodas or milk. I stopped going over there and helping my dad at his shop for fear of these. BUT I snapped yesterday and confronted him. I told him I would buy him cane sugar cokes and for him to stop risking my life bringing that s$#& in there and if he does it again I will have him sent home without pay. He flipped and started making excuses about drinking it for months and me not getting sick.....yeah I do not come over here. I told him the skin contact issue is just a rash, no big deal. BUT IF he opens one of those and it "sprits" and aerosols that corn syrup next to me and I inhale it then I get anaphylaxis. Then he starts up again, I shut him up by asking if he will pay the $1200-1500 for the ambulance ride when my throat swells up....then I go on to every detail of how you start getting the urge to swallow but can't then you have issues taking breath as it feels like your tongue is swelling up and going down your own throat. Your ability to take breath diminishes and gets harder. He then started offering to not drink anymore in the building and for me not to bother...I told him straight that was BS and he would give in and go drink them since he was addicted and he said yes.....so I bought him 2 cases for cane sugar soda and put in the fridge for him.....TIME will tell. 
Dear god between idiots like him and just finishing watching 12 seasons of SVU I am seriously losing hope in humanity. Don't even get me started on the inability to get people to donate to starting my food truck or helping when I was in need of medical services.

Can I assume that you keep an Epipen handy? Also, try to take it more easy on people who don't understand...especially if it's your dad. Acceptance of these issues is often a problem, even among close family members. This article we published in 2005 may be old, but still relevant:

Generic one I got for free, never had to use one.....all 4 reactions I have had before getting it I got through with liquid antihistamines and chewing pills. An odd method that requires a sound mind and control but doing so and letting it slowly work down my throat has opened it back up.  But I always keep shot bottles of liquid antihistamines and a pocket carrier with pills.  What really sucks is even after my throat feels weird, like hours of numb and pain and stays restricted.

      Re: Michelin star.  To give an example, the Ritz Hotel in London has two Michelin stars.   Here's another article about Michelin stars - from our own archive.

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?

      @trents  Good question.  We are strict at home, although I have to admit I've eating the odd chocolate at Christmas that turned out to have been made in a shared facility.  But that  is very unusual for me, and I had my last blood test before Christmas anyway.  Therefore I have concluded that eating out must be the issue.  But I'll let you know in September when I have my next blood tests done.  😊

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. I have been pretty worried so appreciate reading any advice. Yes, the endoscopy will include a biopsy, and we have hopefully found a good pediatric gastro to guide us through it all.  Will also run the HLA typing - I have the swabs ready to go.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @melthebell! I certainly would have a biopsy repeated as it has been 5 years since the first one. You mentioned he was scheduled for an endoscopy but make sure a biopsy is also done. It's possible he, like you are, is a "silent" celiac where the damage to the intestinal mucosa happens very slowly and can take years to manifest to the point of being detectable and where symptoms are minimal or absent. At 10 years old, his immune system may not be mature enough het to trigger the usual IGA responses that the IGA celiac tests are designed to detect.  I would also have genetic testing done to confirm that he has or doesn't have the potential to develop celiac disease. The genetic profile can also offer insight into the type of celiac disease a person will develop if they ever convert from latent to active. Take a look at table 2 under the section "Types of Celiac Disease" in the article found in this link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9980758/  Genetic testing is available from 3rd party labs. I think you just have to send in a cheek swab sample.
