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

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
