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!

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.
    • Lburnett
      Hi there. I was wondering if anyone has experience elevated phosphorus levels? mine are moderately elevated with an elevated BUN also. My total urine protein is flagged as low which I thought was odd. (usually flags if there's high levels). Anyone have any idea what causes this or has had these levels? Thanks!

      It looks like they will now order the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody test, but verify this with your doctor.

      I think you know enough to conclude that your son either has celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). As soon as you removed gluten from his diet his stools firmed up. It is also very common for celiacs to be intolerant of dairy and soy, so that is another piece of corroborating evidence. If I were you, I would consider getting your sone genetically tested for the genes we know are associated with celiac disease. There are two main genes looked for, HLADQ2 and HLADQ8. Having either or both provides the potential for developing celiac disease. But since about 40% of the general population have one or both of the genes it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease. But it can be used as a rule out measure if both are absent, thus pointing one in the direction of NCGS. If one or both are present, there is the possibility of either celiac or NCGS. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease by the way. The two conditions share many common symptoms. The difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Celiac disease is actually an autoimmune disorder. At any rate, both conditions require a gluten free diet so, at the end of the day, that is the antidote for both. Some experts feel that NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease.  I would also make mention of the fact that once gluten is removed from the diet and then added back in for the gluten challenge, reactions are often more violent as all tolerance has been lost.

      Hello @Beck1430 and welcome to the Forum. I am sorry your little boy is going through this. Your question is an interesting one.  I would say the majority of posts I have read since joining this forum speak of a fairly quick reaction, and that has been my own experience.  The only major gluten hit I've had in more recent times resulted in chills, dizziness and vomiting about 2-3 hours after eating gluten.  It was truly horrible.  The fact that I vomited was new for me - I didn't get diarrhea which had been my classic reaction in the past.  It was as if in going totally gluten free my body has decided to react more violently to gluten, and quite differently.  Reactions can change over time - the fact that your son is reacting differently doesn't necessarily mean that gluten isn't the culprit. Anyway,  this study is interesting in that it states that it is possible to react 12 hours later. https://www.schaer.com/en-us/a/how-long-after-eating-gluten-do-symptoms-start#:~:text=A survey published in Alimentary,by 12 hours or more. I am afraid the only way you will probably know for sure is to repeat the challenge again, but I can completely understand your reluctance to do that.  I wonder if I can ask a couple of questions: Regarding the rash - has that also subsided since giving up gluten?   There are quite a lot of photos of dermatitis herpetiformis to see online, I wonder if you think what your son had/has was similar? Also, do you have coeliac disease in the family?  It is inherited and if you have others in the family, that could point more strongly to your son having coeliac disease. Cristiana
