Feeling Unwell

I am feeling quite sick.  I  started a food diary  today to see if I can pinpoint what is going on.  I am not even sure if it is Gluten related anymore, it could be allergy related, I am also Dairy free, but I am fed up with this.  I gluttoned myself earlier in the week (Saturday) with a lipstick I wore two days running, and so I am wondering if I am still feeling the effects of that?  I don't know, as  I am not all that experienced with being gluttoned.

 
My symptoms are that my stomach feels a little queasy, and last night I had some acid reflux, but the main problems are sore itchy eyes, slight drippy nose, and really dry facial skin that also kind of feels sore at the same time, and around my hairline I have a few itchy marks..I am struggling with a lot at the moment, as my perfume allergy is back in full force,  as ten years ago I had  immunotherapy injections to eradicate this problem but it appears to have re surfaced big time!! with one whiff of someones perfume making me  terribly ill, and recently my white gold earrings have started to bother me, so I had to take them out, so everything seems to be kicking off.   I am so sad that I have eaten so carefully and then managed to still get gluttoned.  
 
So I am wondering what are your thoughts, could this be a backlash of being gluttoned,  or could it just be the allergies I referred to, or could it be that being bluttoned has kicked off my allergies? because I feel like I have really bad hay fever.  I am also fearful that new allergies might be popping up, which is why I have started a food diary. I did take a histamine tablet yesterday but it made no difference whatsoever, and if anything I felt worst not better, any thoughts would be appreciated, maybe I should try another one today.

Zebra,

Sorry that you are feeling so unwell. Getting glutened is toughis and can take up to three weeks to feel well. Symptoms can vary which is really frustrating.

Have you researched Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? It is all about allergies. One of our forum members who is a pediatrician and a celiac has this disorder as well -- so it is a legitimate issue.

I hope you fell better soon!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
