Red face (again)

I posted something previous to do with this, but I always get anaphylactic symptoms whenever i consume gluten (i am returning to the doctors on monday). 

However i seem to be getting it after every time i eat now. I have only been eating 1 meal a day because i'm worried about getting it during the day and being so affected in my lectures at university, however the 1 meal contains no gluten/wheat/oats, ANYTHING - no dairy either. I'm so worried about it like i've got it right now. My face went extremely blotchy last night and then cleared up when i was going to sleep - however i have felt redness and warmth on my face today. 

I also get a headache and good old (not really) Brain Fog along with this. And my eyes feel ... droopy? And a racing Heart always happens [though the extent varies, not too bad yet].

I'm getting really scared to eat at the moment. I'm wondering if it's the sugars? I've had cereal (everything free milk of course) and i dunno if that could have triggered it? I mean they're not exactly extremely high in sugar so I can't really seem to link it? This stuff is really difficult now and I'm scared the doctor won't be able to do anything- and in the meantime before finding anything about it, I'm really gonna struggle :(

It sounds like classic Histamine Intolerance.  You may want to take a look at this article, written by a doctor who has Celiac and was a contributor to this forum for a bit.

I am sorry you are suffering with this.  I have severe allergies, along with Celiac, and my little trick is hives.  I feel your pain!

Here's a  list of 14 food allergens that might be helpful.  Eisonophilic esophagitis is another issue that might fit.  It cause reactions in the throat to many foods.

tammi22,

I agree with Gemini. The link she provided is the best information I have read on the subject.

You also might look up the Niacin protocol.

It involves taking Niacin 100mg titrating it up on 100mg steps till you get up to 500mg and depleting your histamine reserves by way of the Niacin flushing that people  get  in taking Niacin in higher dosages.

If taken (niacin) with food the flushing you get is usually mitigated in 100mg amounts but will over 3 or 4 days usually deplete your histamine reserves so that the hives you are experiencing usually settles down when the histamine is flushed out with high dose niacin.

I had a friend who had a histamine allergy who when taking Niacinamide 500mg (the non flushing form of Niacin) to treat her histamine allergy got better in 3 or 4 months.

It will take 3 or 4 months of taking it (Niacinamide) 3/day to get over a B-Vitamin deficiency.  You will notice you begin burping after each meal when the Niacinamide or Niacin (once the flushing/hives are gone) when you begin burping and your stool sinks to the bottom of the bowl.

A burp that comes in the first twenty minutes will be what you notice when it (burping) begins again if you don't now burp but when you are over you deficiency you will be burping (without carbonated drinks) 2 hours after a meal and even water will cause you to burp after taking Niacinamide for 6 months 3/day.

I think you will notice by then your histamine allergy is much better.  Or at least my friends was.

Niacin regulates how histamines functions in the body.

Here is a good link that explains what modern day doctor's have forgotten about Niacin.

It natures natural antihistamine because it helps regulate adrenalin in the body.

I think of it as being able to reset your stress clock.  When we have anaphylactic reaction our "stress clock" (my words) goes haywire and we can't shut it off.

Niacin let's us diffuse that ticking time bomb by depleting our histamine reserves.

******This is not medical advice and should not be considered such but taking Niacin should flush your histamine  reserves in 3 or 4 days helping the anaphylactic reaction if it indeed a histamine reaction you are having.

Here is another link that explains how to take Niacin to deplete your histamine reserves.

I hope this is helpful.

posterboy,

 

 

if anyone actually suspects they are deficient in vitamin b3 please get tested by a doctor before taking high doses of vitamins that can cause side effects


posterboy,
i don't know how you find all these suspicious "doctor" websites, i guess anyone can create a website, call themselves a doctor and give unreliable medical advice. it might be helpful for you to research pseudoscience in medicine so you can tell which website are making up miracle cures and scamming people.


Doctor Andrew Saul from that doctoryourself.com website has a phD human Ethology that hardly qualifies him to be giving medical or nutritional advice.

Dr. Reuben T. DeHaan is a naturopath not a medical doctor. just skimming through Open Original Shared Link not only is it full of crazy claims like "every illness is curable" some of the advice sounds dangerous.  he's against vaccinations, belives in inducing fevers, fasting while sick, coffee enemas, advising against mammograms. he promotes allergy testing by checking your pulse, ph testing, thinks milk is toxic, microwaves dangers. clearly every word of his blog is false

i doubt theres any real connection between Niacin and histamines functions if these are the kinds of doctors making those claims

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
