<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi all! I called my allergist today, asking if I could have a specific gluten/wheat test. I had been tested in March for each food group. My results game back being allergic to buckwheat, oats, barley, beef, and borderline white potato and carrot. I did not know at the time he tested me for gluten. When I called today, the receptionist informed me she asked the doctor and he said I was "slightly" sensitive to gluten and wheat, but not enough to "substantiate." I told her I wanted to take my gluten free purchases out on my taxes and she said they could not do that because the results were not conclusive enough for him to write a letter stating I had CD and that I need to be on a GF diet forever. If I'm only "slightly" allergic to gluten, then that must mean I have full-blown CD and it just did not show positive enough on my blood test. The receptionist said that in testing, I didn't have a big enough reaction to it to count as being allergic. This brings me to my next question. Can I have my primary care physician write a letter stating I have CD for my taxes? How deep does the IRS look into GF deductions? I have read on Celiac.com that all that is needed is a letter from your doctor, however, medical documentation may be needed. My primary care doctor has my allergy results, would this be enough, along with the letter? Additionally, if I am able to get the letter from my doctor, what all can I deduct from my taxes? Is it just the flour and xantham gum and such that can be deducted? Or can I claim GF products in general, such as mayonnaise, protein bars, etc.? Have any of you done the GF deductions and what was your luck with it? Thank you so much. I feel like I'm asking too many questions, but I'm still trying to get everything GF figured out.
