I was diagnosed 2 years ago with celiac disease and I have been on the diet as best I can. I have accidentally eaten gluten and paid the price many times, BUT last week I ate "Superpan" (a type of bread) that had whole semolina durum and I didn't get sick?!? A few months ago I accidentally had rice cooked with Campbell

You definitely ate gluten if it was whole wheat semolina. It could be that you have healed a bit more and don't react as strongly or the amount of gluten. My reactions have varied a lot since I first went gluten-free- I used to get deathly ill. Now I just feel uncomfortable. I'm sure you already know this, bu even if you didn't react you shouldn't eat gluten because damage can be cumulative. :)

Hi, I'm wondering, was this a sourdough bread? I have read that some processes of making sourdough break down the gluten, making it potentially easier to digest. Perhaps you have healed enough that the weakened form of gluten did not give you symptoms. I would still not risk eating it again (like PP mentioned it could still do damage over time) but perhaps that is an explanation.

      I think I’ve got it ?

      Chrissyjo, here is an article outlining the various blood tests that can be used to check for celiac disease: Many physicians will only order the ttg-iga test. It is the single best blood test tool for celiac diseae and relatively inexpensive. However, it is not a good choice if a person is IGA deficient and many physicians neglect to check for that...

      I think I’ve got it ?

      I’ll have to ask my doc, I thought there was only one type of test. No Yep I will. They told me too before the test anyway

      Too early for diagnosis?

      The Immunoglobulin A is aka "total IGA" and it is not deficient at 90. Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA, aka "ttg-iga" is the most popular celiac antibody test run as it is inexpensive and combines excellent sensitivity with very good specificity. It is typically the first blood test tool out of the physician's diagnostic bag and the best single one in...

      Too early for diagnosis?

      I just realized we had labs from another place as well. Not sure if any of these is the "total IGA" you mentioned: Jan 2023 - TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 17.5 (15 considered high) Jan 2023 - Immunoglobulin A was 90 (range is 22-140)

      It's funny you say that because as I was typing about my potential issues with gluten, I thought "wait. Why haven't I gotten tested." Honestly, it comes down to money and time. We have been pouring tens of thousands into her care (We don't have traditional medical insurance). And I have been off gluten for so long and have such quick and noticeable reactions...

Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA, aka "ttg-iga" is the most popular celiac antibody test run as it is inexpensive and combines excellent sensitivity with very good specificity. It is typically the first blood test tool out of the physician's diagnostic bag and the best single one in the absence of IGA deficiency. When it is positive, there is only about a 5% chance that it would be due to something besides celiac disease.

We have been pouring tens of thousands into her care (We don't have traditional medical insurance). And I have been off gluten for so long and have such quick and noticeable reactions when I do consume it, that I really don't want to have to eat it again! But, you have me thinking perhaps I should.  Thanks for the information cross contamination. That is very helpful!  Thank you!
