Is it possible to not have celiac disease and still be allergic to gluten?

Q: I don’t have celiac disease because I was tested, however, I do have acne/seb derm and feel that this could be due to an allergy to gluten. Is it possible to not have celiac disease and still be allergic to gluten?Is it possible also, to grow up and develop an allergy to gluten even though at a younger age, you weren’t allergic?

A: Yes, it is possible to not have celiac and still be allergic to gluten. Celiac disease is technically an intolerance, not an allergy. The symptoms may be similiar, but the way the body responds is different. With celiac disease, the body is unable to process and digest gluten but a person with a gluten allergy has a reaction when gluten is digested. Your doctor will be able to explain this in more detail and administer tests to determine whether you have a gluten allergy.I cannot answer whether you can grow into a gluten allergy, but as a person with Celiac Disease, I can attest that yes, it is possible to grow into Celiac Disease. My mother was diagnosed when I was 10 and since I was 15, have gradually grown into the disease.Symptoms (typically resulting in intestinal damage) become more severe the longer you have the disease without knowing, so your best option may be to adhere to a gluten free diet, whether you are allergic or not.

A: This website is a pretty comprehensive website and I think is a pretty good starting point. http://www.celiac.com/index.htmlAlso, there’s a lot of info on the web… some of it homeopathic hocus-pocus and some grounded with scientific data, but read as much as you can and you’ll be able to differentiate between the quacks trying to sell stuff and people with real info.

is there medication or treatment for celiac disease (allergic to Gluten) found yet in the US?

Q: please tell me if there is

A: As far as I’ve heard, there isn’t any medication on the market to treat Celiac Disease. There are medical trials going on to test the efficacy of medications to help if you accidentally ingest gluten…sort of like the morning after pill. However, this pill isn’t intended for long term use with the goal of a Celiac going back on a regular gluten diet. Sorry.On the bright side, Celiac Disease is controlled by what you eat. Just maintain a gluten-free diet and you should be fine. That is why the drug companies haven’t really been knocking themselves out trying to find a cure. It will probably end up being cheaper to maintain a gluten free diet than it would be to buy the pills. Also, as with any medication, there is always a risk of side effects. The gluten-free diet is safer for you than taking medication.There are loads of great gluten free cookbooks out there now. So far, The Gluten Free Gourmet series by Bette Hagman is my favorite. There are so many new flours easily available…even in the grocery store. There are also more and more cake mixes, flour mixes, pre-made hamburger/hot dog buns, pre-made donuts, pancake and waffle mixes, etc. The list goes on.I won’t kid you, gluten free tastes a bit different and sometimes it has a different texture, but you get used to the changes quickly.For information and support, take a look at Silly Yaks, a US based Yahoo! group. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/SillyYaks/I moderate a Canadian chapter of Silly Yaks and you’re welcome to take a boo at our site. We’re still small but growing.http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/SillyYaksCanada/Alba Therapeutics is running some sort of testing on Celiac Disease.
