I don't think you need to be concerned about sports tape. Just wash your hands after handling it.

Trents may be correct, but my approach is if you can find the same item without gluten, why not go that route? Gluten is used in making many commercial glues, but I doubt sports tapes are required to list their ingredients. To find a gluten-free one may require you being willing to call various companies about this. If you find a gluten-free version, please share it here.

Reached out to KT tape to see if they have current info about their adhesive. They claim it’s gluten free these days. Nervous to try it since you leave it on for multiple days.

Hi,
 
Thanks for reaching out to us, I'd be happy to help with any questions you may have about our tape.
 
KT Tape uses a medical-grade adhesive, contains no-known-allergens (including gluten) and it does not contain latex nor any medications, additives or preservatives.
 
We appreciate you reaching out, hopefully this information is helpful. Let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with, and have a good day!

      Awaiting diagnosis

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
