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.

      same! how amazing you have a friend who has celiac disease. i find myself wishing i had someone to talk about it with other than my partner (who has been so supportive regardless)

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.
