I still am unsure how to do this but here it goes. I got so many wonderful
replies that it took two days to read them all. lol
1. Now i know spelt is not GF. I will not buy it no more. I was given
great websites to visit here is one that came up alot:
Spelt is a form of wheat. It has gluten. Period. No matter what the
health food store people say. See http://www.celiac.com/corn.html#spelt Also
see http://dfa.leb.chemie.tu-muenchen.de/EJahr1994.html#2.11 and go to 2.11
Spelt Wheat and coeliac disease
2. As for the iodine, it was a 50/50 reply. I know noe that she can have
salt, just not too much iodine. Also people suggested i take my daughter
to a allergist. I plan to make the appointment tomorrow.
3. As for the bumps on my daughter 90% of replies stated to get my
daughter to a dermatologist and have her a skin biopsy to find out if it is
DH. Then i guess i would know. I was also told that she could be reacting
from iodine. I guess i will make that appoinment also tomorrow. (if i can
get one. )
4. Everyone recomended that i get tested as well as other 1st degree and
2nd degree relatives. This is one statment from a reply:
Since early detection is crucial in preventing a host of other disorders
and diseases (http://www.healthscoutnews.com/080601rate.htm), and celiac is
a genetic disease, I personally believe that once one person in a family is
diagnosed, everyone (especially children and parents) should be screened
also, just as a matter of course.
These were the tests besides the biopsy that were recomended:
1. antigliadin antibodies IgA
2. antigliadin antibodies IgG
3. antiendomycial antibodies IgA
4. tissue transglutaminase tTG
Thanks to all who replied. I did write a thanks to everyone, because i was
not sure if i was supposed to or not. lol my fingers hurt now. Again
thanks to all for all the help Tiffanie in Las Vegas, NV
