TI do not get sick by walking pass a bakery, but the odors do make me feel ill. I no longer can stand the smell. Also, when I walk pass them, I do pay special attention to my breathing, and move by quickly.

lol...i hold my breath :P not that it would be effective...

For the sake of summation --feel free to post after me if I incorrectly sum-- we decided...

-Gluten can be inhaled and swallowed, thus causing a reaction

-Gluten can get on your fingers and into your mouth (hangnails, said hair on tongue, small children)

-Wheat can irritate your skin if you have a wheat allergy

-And you may have skin sensitivities to other things, possibly acidic liquids like vinegar and citrus juice

-Also, gluten itself does not cause reactions through the skin in Celiacs without a wheat allergy

most informative :P

Yup Rya, very well put. Like my mom always says: Never say never! That which effects one person, does not always effect another, AND, just because it doesn't effect one, does not mean it isn't so!

Yeah, I went back to work as a breakfast attendant/concierge, and I was wearing this one ring I love, and after a little while I realized I was getting a horrible bumpy itchy rash (just like when I had DH) under the ring, where I'm assuming crumbs would get caught. No more rings.... sigh....

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      Family education

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      I have never been tested for tTg 6 antibodies but I will certainly do that next time I'm at the doc's.  Maybe there's a home test kit for that?  I drink lactose free milk and seem to be ok so I'm probably not a casein case but...who knows?!

      Gluten Ataxia and Malabsorption

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Life Extension brand Mega Benfotiamine, (250 mg with each of two meals) and Maxlife Natural TTFD-B1 Max Thiamine (100 mg).   I try to take my Benfotiamine and TTFD before four pm, otherwise I have so much energy, it can be hard to fall asleep.

      Some people react to the Casein in dairy the same as to gluten, like me.  I avoid dairy avidly because I get ataxia so bad. Some Celiac people produce tTg 6 antibodies in response to gluten or casein.  tTg 2 antibodies are what blood tests for Celiac measure.  tTg 6 antibodies are also found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, contributing to ataxia.  Have you been checked for tTg 6 antibodies?   P. S.  Can you share your B vitamin test results?
