Advise About Salicylates/histamines

im beginning to feel my problems are nothing to do with gluten and more to do with histamines and salicylates.( all tests neg, even allergy tests)

 

so ive still got the rash on hands and face even though ive changed all toiletries and makeup, and im now eating a very restricted diet

ate some cheese the other day which i think makes my hands worse but when i think about it i ate a mixed salad with olives and olive oil, tomatoes, peppers,hummus and grilled halloumi .nearly all of them high in histamines!!!

 

i also bought some ds gluten free bread- it was on the reduced section at 30 p!!- bought 3 loaves coz it doesnt have potato in it. but it did have soya and yeast.  the rash on hands and face is pretty bad now. so is it the soya or the yeast in the bread-which ive read is high in histamines.

 

if i do have a problem with histamines wouldnt it have shown up in my allergy tests when they put the tester on?

 

im so confused at the moment. on the one hand i feel im restricting my diet for nothing, but on the other i do know im reacting to things.

cant remember now why i was looking at salicylates heads a bit mixed up at the moment. how would i bring this up at the doctors? considering they,ve probably not heard of it.and ive read to be tested for histamine you have to be eating it.ive probably cut most of it out due to the diet im eating at the moment.

any help gratefully received.

Honestly I'm just as confused in my situation cept it's allergies or sals. I too don't want to be on such restricted diet unless need be. Eating the same thing over and over is making me more sick.

im feeling the way i did before i gave up gluten and dairy!

 

i have this sickly feeling that goes right up to my adams apple, i can feel something stuck in my throat and i have absolutely no appetite but still not losing weight.

im proper fed up!

The throat and weight thing sounds like possible thyroid.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Ello! You say you had a blood test for celiac disease after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Were you gluten free before that? Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative vs. positive for the test? I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.

      Surgery was in April 2023 due adhesions wrapped around my small bowel which caused blockage and had to be removed. Adhesions were so badly entangled that Surgeon could not cut out them, so the resection was performed. July 2025 started having severe yellow diarrhea and sometimes constipation. Just had another episode and was tested for celiac. Blood test stated 1.5 after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Lipase level was 120. Having an CT scan to check the pancreas. I have never had any issues eating gluten and now I am so fearful that I might have celiac. Has anyone had a small bowel resection? I am 65 years old. UGGH! I am still feeling bloating etc.
