<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All, I'm waiting for the results of my blood tests for celiac. I took all the obvious gluten out of my diet in late November, but still had some sickness and hidden gluten right up until the first part of January. I keep reading that one should not be GF when getting a blood test as the test will not be accuate. I shared this with my doc and he said that it's a genetic proclivity and would therefore show up on a blood test regardless of gluten intake. I'm confused!! Even if it is an issue, I had only been entirely GF for 3-4 weeks so it still should show up in a blood test, correct? Second, I've noticed an increasing sensitivity to chemicals and fragrance the past few years and it's much worse when I've had gluten. Depending on the smell, I can get congested, bloodsho t eyes, dizzy, sore throat and sometimes my throat even starts closing up. My asthma/allergy specialist says I have allergic rhinitis and vasomotor (non-allergic) rhinitus in which all the mucous membranes are overly senstive to irritants. He also said I had vocal chord dysfunction and spasms from irritants. Is this chemical sensitivity typical for CD? Thanks, Pam *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
