You had an article on a 4 year old girl who had a plastic dental device that was found to have gluten and to have affected her.  Given that lens replacements in cataract surgery are also plastic, do they or can they contain gluten?

I have a J and J  IOL Toric cataract lens in my eye that I'm having a horrible reaction to. What replacement lens is gluten free? No company will help me find out this info.

It looks like this original post is still unanswered. I'm not aware of gluten being used in contact lenses, but I suppose it is possible. The only people who could answer this would be the manufacturer. I'm sure trying to reach J&J to find this out could end up being a full time job 😉, but that would be where to begin. Is there a contact number on the box?

      Confused about test results.

      There is also something called "seronegative celiac disease" in which there is damage to the villous lining of the small bowel but no celiac antibodies are produced by the immune system. It's not very common and there can be numerous causes including infections, some medications and even some nongluten foods.  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, that is proof positive you have celiac disease since there is no other known cause for it. If you get it biopsied during an outbreak it can be used to establish a diagnosis of celiac disease, therefore. But not every dermatologist knows how to biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis correctly and it can be difficult to get an appointment with one on short notice.

      Ty very helpful I’m in the process of getting in with a new gI doctor and will ask more about all that then and yes the rash is exactly like that. I have a half cousin with celiac but that’s it in my whole family and idk if that matters as I see it is hereditary and others say the the only in the family with it. Either way this was very much appreciated ty again.

      Question

      By fritz2 · Posted

      My first post includes the blood test report done by the second doctor.  They told me to take two Naproxen tablets per day.  Absolutely worthless but I'm doing it.  I get to visit the doctor again in two weeks.  These doctors are worthless.  I had to clue them in to the fact that they used to treat me for fibromyalgia 15 years ago with vicodin until some political stooge had it removed from the market.  Then I found out about my grandchild with celiac so I removed gluten from my diet and got better.  (I had hashimoto's then and still do).  They don't read my medical record, or they don't comprehend it.  Either case they're worthless turds with no answers that are helpful.
