Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I was also wondering about IV contents too. Do they go through your digestive system? If they don't, why must they be gf?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ohh, the immunologist in me must interject here. Once you made antibodies to something, there are these memory cells that circulate throughout your body. If they encounter the product they are designed to target, they'll start up antibody production to tackle their target. My concern is what has your body made antibodies against? Something like tissue transglutaminase seems as if it'd be related to intestine absorption of wheat. But I can't get a quick clear answer to this question. Yet, somehow, wheat is triggering that antibody. The " paranoid " part of me would assume that wheat would trigger these antibodies. Since they'll be circulating through your body with the IV medication, that could cause a problem. If anything it should just inhibit the ability of the drug to work the way it's supposed to. It shouldn't cause any life threatening problems. Sorry to be so complicated. Try to think of it as why we get vaccines. Then if you were vaccinated and then exposed, you wouldn't notice what happened. But the infection wouldn't be able to do its job. I need to talk about this with an anesthesiologist as a discussion. Food for thought for the weekend. Jenn > I was also wondering about IV contents too. Do they go through your > digestive system? If they don't, why must they be gf?
