has anyone experienced any problems with the lemonade at Chickfila. They fresh squeeze their lemonade so I am concerned about cross contamination.

Sorry, I've never had the lemonade. I would be more concerned with cc with the food than the lemonade ... fast food is risky, though they're grilled chicken salad (minus the croutons and sunflower seeds) and fries (be sure it's a dedicated fryer, every one I've been to has had a dedicated fryer) are okay.

Sorry - I've never had the lemonade either.

The Triumph Dining Guide 2006-07 says that ALL BEVERAGES at Chic-fil-A are gluten free - not specific for lemonade.

I had the lemonade yesterday with no adverse results. Because of the high acid content, I don't drink it often but have never had a problem when I do.

I have recently been writing a series of reviews of gluten free meals at fast food restaurants, and Chick-fil-A was one of them. I had liked them because they had a gluten free menu available at www.chick-fil-a.com/gluten.asp. According to this menu, all of the beverages were gluten free.

I also liked them because they used separate fryers for their fries and breaded chicken. It meant I had a place to get my kid some fries.

      Test result confusion high Immunoglobin A

      By trents · Posted

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.

      Welcome to the forum, @Alibee! The Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA (aka, tTG-IGA) is a blood antibody test designed to detect the antibodies produced  by celiac disease. It is the most popular single test ordered by physicians for this purpose but there are several others that could have been ordered. This test was negative in your case. The Immunoglobin A (aka, "total IGA") is not a test for celiac disease per se but is used to check for IGA deficiency. If the person being tested for celiac disease is IGA deficient, this may produce false negatives in the tTG-IGA test. You are not IGA deficient so this is not an issue in your case. Some people who actually have celiac disease are seronegative, meaning the usual antibodies associated with celiac disease inflammation of the small bowel lining are not being produced by the immune system and don't show up in the blood tests.  The rash on your hands you speak of, can you describe the appearance of the rash? Does it have little pustules in the center of the pimples? There is a skin manifestation of celiac disease known as dermatitis herpetiformis (Dermatitis Herpetiformis) and it has a characteristic appearance with pustules in the center of the bumps. It sounds like you may be aware of dermatitis herpetiformis. Do you have other symptoms that correlate with celiac disease? What motivated you or what led to you being tested for celiac disease?
