Weird Allergic Reactions


EarFull

Recommended Posts

EarFull Newbie

Immediate Reactions:

 

-Runny Nose, Sneezing and Watery Eyes immediately after eating anything with Grains, Eggs and some Dairy

-Ear and Nasal Congestion (Inner ears feel like they are full of wet glue and nose gets full of dry mucus) immediately after eating anything with Grains, Eggs and some Dairy 

-Endless Belching (I belch constantly and for hours after eating anything. Some times when I belch it carries up to my ears and I feel a rush of air inside of my ear with the accompanying sound)

-Drowsiness (My body feels tired and brain feels foggy and slow) after I finish eating.

 

I feel fairly good before eating, but like a train wreck after eating. This happens regardless of what I eat but I feel 10x times worse when I eat anything with Grains, Eggs and some Dairy. So far the only thing that doesn't make me feel bad are Beans and some Fruits and recently Frozen Yogurt with active cultures (which I am eating experimentally, in case I have candida). But steamed vegetables give me the same symptoms, only less.

 

Not-So Immediate Reactions:

 

-Near-Crippling Abdominal Pain and Rectal Pain the day after eating Cereal (with or without non-Gluten Grains.)

-Clogged Ears and Nose if I ate badly during the other day.

-General Tired feel regardless of how long I rest

-Gas!

 

Other Things:

 

-Dry scabs of skin all over my belly, which developed 2 weeks ago. They don't itch or hurt. They are now spreading to my arms and legs. 

-Ear and Nose feels the best during the Morning, the worse later on, even on a good day.

-I've had insatiable hunger for a very long time. No matter what I eat i never like it's enough.

-I have a craving for savory carb foods; Noodles, Pizza and Sandwiches etc. Craving for meat. Feel crazed/hyper or angry/annoyed with out my daily sweet (ice cream) I started having my cravings around 4 PM to 5 PM then they go away.

- Extreme stinky armpits which developed around the same time I got super-depressed and have dark colored bumps around my arm pits

- swollen nodes on my neck and armpitts. Been swollen ever since i got a cut on my scalp by my barber in 2012.

 

Medical History: 

 

Eggs have always given me mucus problems.

My Dad might have a Gluten problem.

My left ear has had unknown problems with feeling congested twice, but it was never after eating (unless i ate noodles) or felt like this. It was cured with Hydrogen Peroxide each time.

Around the time I had my first Ear problem (2010) i was extremely depressed, developed anxiety and for whatever reason lost a lot of my language skills. At this time I was also eating whole bags or 2 of noodles containing wheat. I'm wondering if all those symptoms were the result of all that gluten i was absorbing from my foods and ate fried eggs every single morning. 

Episodes of extreme puking for 12 hours or more after eating something that upset my stomach, even since I was 16

Do you have a question? Is this about Celiac or your allergies?

I was wondering whether other people with grain allergies/celiac had any of my issues

Celiac isn't an allergy. The runny nose right after eating sounds more like an allergy than Celiac. You do seem to have some Celiac symptoms

Here are some basic symptoms of Celiac:

Can someone direct me to a good allergy forum? 

 

Thanks for the link. Funny because I have delayed puberty too. I also age very slowly, developing my mind and body very slow and i was very short for my age. I only recently got taller and i'm 24.

I don't know a good allergy forum.

 

I do think you should be tested for Celiac Disease, because you do have symptoms that are associated with celiac.  Your primary can order a complete celiac antibody panel.

 

Additionally, you should see a good allergist for allergy testing.

 

Good luck to you :)

I know of allergy forums. Just not good ones. Which is why I stay here. Came here as gluten was a problem for daughter. There is a section here for other intolorance sand allergies. The people there are nice and helpful, unlike the allergy forums I have found. Some of you symptoms sound like allergies. But bottom line, if it makes you sick, don't eat it!

All wise advice. I can not eat eggs, nuts or any milk products. That means I never eat them! Over the years I have been able to eat eggs in baked items like cookies, never never scrambled, etc.. I worked with an allergist to help identify most of my allergies.

A candida problem seems unlikely as you have not mentioned any chronic fungal infections. In any case, frozen yogurt does not have enough probiotics to do anything, plus it packed with sugar and candida sufferers should NEVER eat sugar or high carbs. Again, a doctor should diagnosis candida.

Sounds like you eat a terrible diet. Get off the junk. Allergies can be chronic (like consuming dairy daily when you know it makes you sick) and can make you suspect innocent foods like steam veggies.

      Damage with silent celiac exists. I am a silent celiac.  I was tested because I have the gene predisposing to celiac disease and migraines.  All of my antibodies were high (TTG IgA, TTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IGG, EMA). I had a biopsy which showed damage. After going gluten free I felt better overall and have more energy. Unfortunately it didn’t help the migraines. Sorry to be blunt and write this, but it sounds like you’re really in denial about the possibility of having celiac disease. Understandable, and not uncommon on this forum.

      Welcome to the forum, @terrymouse! Your GI doc is correct. Going gluten free now will allow healing to occur in the villous lining of the small bowel such that the endoscopy/biopsy may not show the damage to the villous architecture that is characteristic of celiac disease. Since your celiac blood antibody tests results are on the low side and don't "scream" of celiac disease I think it is important to go forward with the endoscopy/biopsy while still consuming gluten to ensure it will not be a wasted effort. The last thing you want is to have two different test modalities that unnecessarily contradict one another. So, unless the continued consumption of gluten poses an immediate and significant threat to your health, my advice is to (excuse the pun) "gut it out" until the endoscopy/biopsy happens. There is also the option of temporarily going gluten free and then undertaking a "gluten challenge" in the weeks leading up to the appointment in September. Current guidelines for the gluten challenge are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the day of the procedure. But I would certainly give it longer than two weeks to be sure. And in view of the fact that it could happen sooner if there is a cancellation, I would encourage you to not go gluten free until after the procedure if your health permits. By the way, what are your symptoms? What led you to investigate celiac disease as the cause of your medical issues?

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.
