I can not speak for all your issues, but many of them fall under the Hypersensitivity (4 types) of the immune system.    This is on Wikipedia, but it is pretty straight forward:

Here is a YouTube Explanation.  There are a bunch of them.

Yes.  The damage to the small intestine mucosa can be caused by too many mast cells or celiac disease or both.

Not around here much lately, popped in to quote an old post.

You should ask your doctors for complete antibody testing...be sure you are still consuming enough gluten.

Good Luck : )

kkgirl,

Check out this article by "The Celiac Patient".

She has the best information I have read on the topic of the connection/association of MCAs in/with a Celiac diagnosis.

I hope this is helpful.

Read the link that Posterboy gave.  Jebby (Jessica) is a celiac who is also a preemie MD.  She explains the testing well.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Aphrodite · Posted

      I’ve been using almond flour from nuts.com for over 10 years. I have dermatitis herpetiformis all over. The rash started about two months ago. I finally eliminated the almond flour, labeled certified gluten free, two weeks ago, and I think the dermatitis herpetiformis is finally healing. I am so bummed.

      Gluten free Areds 2 Vitamins

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      By Michael P · Posted

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary--wine and other alcoholic beverages might also fit in here. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
