My drs were convinced that I had celiac. I have been tested several time and the results were always negative. My primary dr and I decided that I should try going gluten free so I did. I did this several years ago and noticed much improvement. I removed gluten 100%...EVERYTHING I use is GF, toothpaste, medications, soaps, lotions, make up, shampoo, hair products, etc. You need to make sure you are doing this as well otherwise you are not truly gluten free. Some say that using gluten containing products topically is fine, you will not react to it. I do not believe that at all because I break out in a terrible rash if I use something containing gluten on my skin. I think they say 60% of what you put on your skin is absorbed...seems to me that would cause a reaction.

I know that in order to be tested for celiac, you cannot be gluten free. You have to be ingesting gluten for the results to be more accurate, not sure that is worth going thru all the pain and aggravation for a test. It is great that you have found some relief!!

Good luck,
