I developed a wheat allergy after getting quite sick and dizzy after eating bread.  Now I am afraid to eat rice, or anything that could be contaminated with wheat.  Altho I have eaten rice pasta and nothing happened.  After a week of being grain free I am starting to feel better, altho today I did get that weak shaky feeling so many have complained about.  It lasted most of the morning and is finally gone, hopefull it will get less and less, didnt have it for two or three days until today.  I am still awfully gassy if you know what I mean, hopefully this will subside soon too.  I do eat mostly fruits and veggies, once in awhile chicken.  I have done tons of reading on this subject, was wondering if anyone had a reaction to sugar?  For a few days I did have some diarrhea, but that has also stopped.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying you are diagnosed with Celiac disease?

Do you have any diagnosed conditions? Celiac, Ulcerative Colitis? UC will flare up with sugars and grains in rare cases, but you would probably notice streaks or drops of blood and mucus in stools.
Celiacs can also develop Diabetes or have thyroid issues which could lead to issues with grains/sugars. Celiac disease can also leave you open to a higher risk of SIBO  or Candida which would cause bloating or gas with sugars/starches like grains, beans, fruit, sugar.

You can still get the above issues without celiac disease, and you can get food intolerance issues or sensitivities. I can suggest keeping a food diary for now, record what you and and limit your diet to whole foods only, Seems like your following a paleo diet with no grains, you might take it a bit further. Diary is a common issue so removing that and the Keto/Akins diet routes would limit your carb intake to help with bloating, by using fats/protein for fuel instead of sugars/carbs.

We normally suggest those who come in and suspect wheat is a issue to their health to see about getting tested for celiac, if your allergic to it the testing would be impossible as you have to eat it for 8-12 weeks prior.  But the protocols and stuff in the Newbie 101 section can help you track down culprits of wheat/gluten sneaking into your diet still.

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. 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:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to...

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
