Dear listmates:

Have any of you required a blood transfusion since going GF?  My son had
major surgery and required a transfusion.  When he was released, he was
more than a bit wild.  This would be a normal reaction to ingestion of
gluten, but the hospital dietician (and I) were very careful with his
foods.

Could he have had a reaction to the gluten antibodies that would
assumable be present in the donor's blood?  Has anyone else ever had a
negative gluten response from this procedure?

Please respond with medical or personal observations.  I will summarize
responses.

Sincerely,

Sheri Sanderson, San Marcos, CA
