hi everyone:

I just found ur website & am happy to see someone else has my welts & rashes! the test results for celiac disease came back negative, but I notice when I eat anythin with gluten in it, my whole side or sides & thighs & stomach break out. Allergy tests reveal it,s not wheat! should I start a gluten-free diet? Seems pretty hard to do & maybe expensive?

At the end of the test results, it said: CELIAC RISK GENES DETECTED: DQ2.2 (HLA DQA1*0201:DQB1*0202) What doest this mean??

Thanks for whatever help you can give.

Hi, welcome to the board! If I am understanding your post it sounds like you only had a wheat allergy test and a celaic gene test? Celiac's are not "alergic" to wheat (well some of us are but the point is celiac is not an allergy). Celiac is an autoimmune disease in which we have a reaction to the protein in wheat, barley, rye and sometimes oats. Your "positive" genetic test just means that you have the common genes to develop celiac disease. Not everyone with the genes develop the disease but it does increase your risk.

When you say uou have "welts and rashes" did you see a dermotologist and have it biopsied? A proper biopsy to test for Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), the skin component of celiac will include a biopsy of the skin next to the legion to check for antibodies.

If you did have a full celiac blood panela nd skin biopsy and it was all negative your next step could be to try to diet. Only try the diet once all your testing is done.

your rashes could be Dermatitis Herpetiformis- a skin rash associated with Celiac-> and Allergies are seperate from Intolerance & Autoimmune Disease. so you could get these DH rashes and still have ZERO allergies to wheat

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
