Totally Bummed And Feeling...allergic!

Have been gluten free since August 27th. Last two nights I’ve had what seem like allergy-symptoms. During the day when I’m out I’m fine. It’s after I eat dinner at home. Aside from shellfish, I have no known allergies and have never had seasonal allergies. Both times seem to come on in the evening and I wake up the next morning stuffed up. Burning eyes, stuffy nose, sneezing.

 

I can’t figure out if this is a reaction to gluten and if so, where it’s coming from. Our entire kitchen was de-glutened the day I was diagnosed (foods, cutting boards, Teflon pans, wooden spoons, etc.). I haven’t been wearing any lipstick other than gluten-free lip gloss. I’m eating very few foods that are packaged (mostly just fresh fruit, veggies and meat) and those that are, are gluten-free. I’m taking food with me if I go somewhere else. I can’t see a correlation between anything I ate yesterday and today.

 

So incredibly frustrating. Now that I’m gluten-free I just want my body to heal. Every time I have a reaction I feel like it’s a huge setback! It feels like the work I’m doing is being dismantled by gluten or whatever this is that’s affecting me. Ugh!

I'm having the same problem, and I was lactose intolerant before celiac diagnosis.  Google SCD diet.  I read the book and it makes sense, so I'm going to give it a try.  It has you removing all grains, dairy, sugar, and starches from your diet for awhile.  Not an easy thing to do, but if it helps I'm willing to go that route for as long as it takes.  The book is called Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gotschaill (sp?).

I agree with others about dairy. I was still having bloating, gas pains, joint pain and other problems and it wasn't until I switched to lactose free dairy that I saw improvement

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
