Jane07 My first question are you Celiac or Have a Non Celiac Gluten Allergy? If yes to either you should be on a gluten-free Diet. Thats without ingesting Gluten of any kind as well as you should avoid handling anything containing Gluten. If you do have blood tests for Celiacs while consuming Gluten then yes your blood work will come back showing it! If you stay Strictly gluten-free no cheating including the bread you ate today as well as the butter if it’s not gluten-free which I am thinking it probably was not you will not only test positive but if your a Celiac you are doing way more than that by consuming gluten in any amount small or large! You will damage your lower intestine and cause Villous Atrophy which is flattening of your Villi where you will not absorb vitamins, minerals and all nutrients needed! You should stay clear of Gluten which means being gluten-free for life! If I were you, look up Celiacs Disease and educate yourself with the facts! I am a Celiac myself and got the diagnosis over 20yrs ago and have been completely gluten-free ever since no so called diet, it is a Lifestyle and for a Purpose! I hope this helps answer your question!

You can inhale microscopic gluten particles that get airborne you can’t even see that if your a Celiac could cause a reaction to it! Were you touching the bread, butter and whatever other foods you handed out without food handlers gloves? If so you risk absorption through your skin as well!

Hi Jane07, Yes if I were you and worked in kitchen preparing meals as well as serving them on a continuous daily I would assume all day basis at least 8 hrs or more I being Celiac would wear food handlers gloves and also a mask to cover your nose and mouth to eliminate inhaling anything gluten that could get airborne such as wheat flour and any kind of flour that may not be gluten-free! Also just cutting non gluten free bread, rolls, cakes exct. can become airborne where you may have a chance to get them into your nasal passage and or mouth which may be a small amount but if your Celiac is sensitive to the smallest amounts of gluten which mine is then over the period of a normal work day in that kitchen could have you ingesting gluten unknowingly! I believe they have food mask you would have to look into this yourself maybe they have them in the kitchen you work in? Good Luck☘️I know Celiacs is tough to educate yourself on what is and what isn’t gluten free as well as what it is or isn’t in ingredient wise! Toothpaste, Body Lotions, make up products and so on can and do contain it as well not just food or beverages! We Celiacs are all in this together remember that and all of us are learning everyday something new about it! Stay Strong💪

If I understand your question, you're asking if handling gluten while working food service will be a problem with your Celiac? Can't say for sure, but I doubt it - just be careful to wash your hands before eating and make sure you're not touching your mouth or face with hands with crumbs on them. I make sandwiches for my gluten eating kids all the time.

Stay Strong💪It is not something I would wish on anyone. We are in this together, your not alone so please don’t feel that way! I know 20yrs ago I did and no one seemed to know anything about Celiacs me being one but especially GI Dr’s so I ended up going to a group of Celiac Specialist in Charlottesville Va called UVA they were incredible! Dr. Shelia Crowe was head Dr there at the time and she had a great team of well educated Dr’s working hand in hand with her! She is now out in California with the Celiac Foundation if I’m not mistaken? I lived in Norfolk Va back when I got my diagnosis per bloodwork then confirmed by Endoscopy biopsy and I had to drive 4-1/2hrs one way to go to UVA but it was worth getting real info by Dr’s who didn’t look at Celiacs like it was all in my head! Good Luck☘️we all need it and more!

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
