New Allergies?

I will be celebrating my 1 yr anniversary of being gluten free and my celiac diagnosis. I have recently noticed that I am having more and more symptoms similar to being glutenized. Except I am having them all the time. Sever bloating, horrible gas, tummy trouble, exhaustion etc. except I can't pinpoint it to any one thing. It's been creeping up on me for a while, but I just realized how bad it's gotten, when every day I'm going to bed by 9pm. If it is another food allergy/sensitivity - where do I start to look? Should I eliminate dairy? Or soy? Or sugar? Or corn? Is it weird to have this happen after almost a yr gluten free? I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but no idea what it could be. I'm pretty sure everything I'm eating is gluten-free.

Hi Courtney,

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, hon, but I do see many people report this same thing often.

It could be gut flora imbalance (do you take probiotics?) or the most common additional intolerance: dairy.

I'm just suggesting something here: take out dairy first, see if it helps?

If you continue to have gastro issues, perhaps you should see your GI doc.

Sometimes, people have concurrent issues with celiac and they are easily treatable, if discovered by testing.

Also, some follow up lab work might be a good idea. Just some suggestions.

Hi, I had a lot of issues like you after being gluten-free for about a year and they ended up being due to a soy intolerance. I agree with IrishHeart to eliminate dairy first, though, because it anecdotally seems to be the most common intolerance in celiacs. If not dairy, then consider soy and so on...Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! We need to remember that this is a lifelong autoimmune disease that we have.

I have been gluten free for 4 years now and I am now noticing severe reactions to dairy. :-(

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
