<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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
