Non glutenfree household


Dora77

Recommended Posts

Dora77 Rookie

I am an asymptomatic celiac, so even if I eat gluten I feel no pain. 
 

But since 6 months I have stools which are very similar to malabsorption stools. Which could mean my small intestine is damaged which would lead to my body not being able to absorb nutrients. 
I live in a gluten household but we look out for not like dipping gluten bread in butter etc.

My mom doesnt make gluten food. But they sometimes make gluten noodle. And bread out of gluten flour. Mostly they buy premade gluten bread. But sometimes they also make it out of gluten flour, is this safe? Or should they completely avoid it? Because I know gluten flour is fine and can get everywhere. So what would be the right approach? Never making bread with gluten flour and cleaning the kitchen table to make sure there are no leftover gluten?

Also can I drink from someone others water bottle if he ate gluten like bread prior?

 

I don’t know what is causing my stools, maybe pancreas enzyme deficit. The only thing which could gluten me are:

what I said like gluten flour in our house (although we do it rare like 1 time in 2 months). I can tell my mom that she should completely avoid making bread of gluten flour. I guess for them to consume premade gluten bread would be fine?

Drinking from friends water bottle

And although I watch out for articles which state may contain gluten, a lot of spices like pepper have tons of stuff behind them like may contain peanuts or may contain gluten and I eat those peppers.

i live in germany and some times there are no gluten ingredients and no may contains but also no glutenfree label like in chips. Is this safe?

Is going near a bakery in for example a supermarket safe? Because of floating gluten in air.

I also dont eat out.

Also I guess all these stuff that I told you which could gluten me would be very small gluten. Do you think it will still damage my inner organs or make me unable to absorb nutrients? Even if I am asymptomatic? Its really hard to know for me because I don’t have any symptoms. My blood results always come fine I think, but I never did a endoscopy. And I heard blood results are unreliable.

The only thing I really worry about is that I don’t want to be unable to absorb nutrients. I don’t have sever stomach pain or similar symptoms. I have celiac since I am 14 and am currently 17,5. 

Would small cross contamination events that occur like 10 times in a month (like drinking from friends bottle, being near gluten airborne flour, etc) cause me to be unable in absorbing nutrients? I also don’t even know how my blood results are but there isn’t anything that explains my stools beside epi or celiac.

Also could it still be that my body can absorb nutrients and function normally even though I have floating undigested stools since 6 months and they are permanent never once had normal stools since 6 months. I also take vitamins and can finally fall asleep under 1 hour since taking vitamin d, etc. but I am scared that my body cant absorb vitamins, protein fully.

      Welcome to this online community and to the celiac nation, @Aussie Celiac! Let us know if we can help you with anything as you start the journey. By the way, we have forum participants who weren't diagnosed until they were in their 80s. It is often the case that the actual onset of the condition precedes the official diagnosis by many years, especially when symptoms are minimal. I was 50-51 when I was diagnosed but looking back I had laboratory evidence of the onset preceding the diagnosis by 13 years. It probably took years for your celiac nutrient malabsorption to deplete your iron stores such that nothing was left in the bank and your actual hemoglobin levels began to drop.

      Well at the ripe old age of 55 I'm newly diagnosed as Celiac. What a surprise.  I was low in iron and this was the only symptom. Well I did get heartburn after eating bread but according to all sources this isn't officially a symptom! Better late than never lol.

      Keep in mind that blood tests for nutritional deficiencies may not be valid if you are already taking vitamin supplements. That may mask deficiencies.

      I think the confusing part may be the notation: "Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstr- ated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy." It is simply an explanation of what the test was looking for. It is not a statement of something they found of concern. What they were looking for was in the negative range. So, based on this test alone, it does not appear you have celiac disease. But as Wheatwacked hinted at, there should have been more tests run. At the very least, a "total IGA" should have been ordered as well to test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, then this could have skewed the Transglutaminase IGA result down toward the negative range. Another question should be asked that has a bearing on the validity of the test result you reported. Had you already been cutting back on gluten consumption when the blood sample was taken?
