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.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
