Clothes Wash

I have been trying to clear my DH for many many months with some success Gluten Free. Now that I have been strictly gluten-free for so long, and reading so many recent posts on this forum I am at an end.. except I wonder if there is something in our clothes wash?

The only other (harder to determine) options I have left are water supply and any indirect ie not undigested and rarely on skin.

Does anyone have any other ideas?? Anything??

There are so many clothes wash detergents that are hard to determine the original source of the chemical/additive that I am hoping for some others input. Many many months of food additive research seems to have help me but there is still a lagging problem (what I'd describe as the 'itchy, rashy but not like a tradional/medical rash'.

Perhaps someone can give us some insight to an alternative to commercial products that has had an obvious and positive effect to help?

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.
