It is hard to say what caused it. With my allergy to tomatoes, it took a lot to track down. My symptoms were not normal either (felt like I had a bad sunburn on my head, neck, and shoulders). It would look normal and have no redness. My first sign was my ears, they would start up and the rest would soon follow. Once i stopped eating them, I no longer had issues with it.

 

It should also be noted that i miss those more than i do gluten. <_<

 

However, if you do suspect an allergy, be careful.

Ok I am going to quit freaking out!! Thats all I can say!! Sometimes my face swells alot some times it doesn't. So I take my Allergy pill and I think it helps. Thru the day my face goes down. I have a Doc appt soon. I will quit freaking out and just go to him let him know, Then he can send me to someone and they can figure it out. I have absolutely no clue. And from what everyone is saying here it can be a number of things, I wall "Suggest" these things to my Dr. So Thanks everyone :) I will let ya know in the end what or if they find out.

Are you taking any meds -- even over the counter? I am allergic to ibuprofen

( e.g. Advil) and aspirin. Both cause my eyes to swell shut, face and tongue to swell.

It seems to me that from all the things you ate on the first day you started your diet, the only thing no one has mentioned is the beans you ate... I know many people don't tolerate them ... I am one of them.. I think quinoa is also a legume.

Quinoa is a type of goosefoot. Surprisingly, it is also related to spinach, beetroots and tumbleweeds.

If you are going in for allergy testing waitin4dave, they will probably need you to stop the antihistamines a few days prior.  The tests may not work if you are on anti-histamines.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      @pilber309, as knittykitty pointed out, lactose intolerance is not the only issue with dairy in celiac community. Lactose intolerance has to do with the sugar component of dairy, lactose. However, some celiacs react to a protein fraction in dairy, namely, casein, like they do gluten.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      Over the last 3+ years I've had very good experiences with waitstaff being very knowledgeable about celiac in some chain and other restaurants. Some good news: I recently verified that Jack in the Box has separate fryers for breaded food and their French fries. I've had their S/W chicken salad (grilled), fries and TONS of their tacos with no ill effects...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      It could well be a new intolerance developing. Does your diet incorporate pure oats i.e. those safe for coeliac consumption? I find I can only tolerate a certain amount, same goes for dairy in fact, then I start to get gastric symptoms. Or have you started consuming a new type of gluten-free bread, or more gluten-free bread than normal, that might contain...

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance  etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside  my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress.
