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

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
    • trents
      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
