Help! What do these intolerance/allergies mean?

I suffer from chronic constipation as a result intolerance to grains, dairy and eggs. I have been put on various laxatives but to no avail the only thing that works autoimmune diet but test was negative for any autoimmune diseases. The NHS claim its just IBS. I cannot continue to suffer with all the symptoms ( insomnia, dizziness, brain fog, blisters (under eye and legs), weight gain,stomach cramps, bald spots, melasma, stuffy nose and morning itchy eyes). I am a final year student and have fainted at uni twice as a result of random diarrhoea. I told my doctor and he just said " Oh yeah, you will faint sometimes" and that was it, I was flabbergasted to say the least. These issues are impacting heavily on my concentration at uni. Has anyone faced similar issues? Any advice would be appreciated.

If you suspect celiac there is a blood test and you need to request the full panel from your doctor and keep eating gluten til all testing is done. After the blood test they will do a endoscope and biopsy to check for damage.

Constipation used to be one of my symptoms, and was made worse by Magnesium Deficiency from damaged intestines.
To fix both look at Natural Vitality Calm, start off in small doses 1/4 tsp (1-2g) a scale helps but up that by adding on another 1/4tsp (1-2g) a day til you get loose stools then back it down 2 grams and you found your spot. This is called dosing to tolerance. If you have any other doubts do look up magnesium deficiency symptoms and you might see a few flags.

B-vitamins is another one we have absorption issues with along with Iron, Vitamin D, etc. and often have to supplement til we heal or longer. I use Liquid Health Energy & Stress, Neurological Support 1tbsp each 3 times a day and their vitmain D3. All liquids so you just add to a beverage.

Was in a hurry this morning but a bit of follow up on the intolerance/allergies,
Dairy, with Celiac our villi are eroded/destroyed and they produce the enzymes to break it down so we get intolerance to the lactose in them. Further damage and leaky gut can make these reactions progress to immune responses which brings up getting more allergies, sensitivities, and the intolerance issue which again is more related to enzymes and breaking them down properly.

Eggs are histamine liberator in their raw form, if ANY bit is uncooked or soft you could be getting that effect of course it could be you either have enzyme issues or a new legitimate allergy to them....every ones body and damage is different in the way it copes and reacts.
 

Perhaps this link will be a more more informative in these regards?

I will book a panel test as soon as. The links are very helpful, thanks.

      Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low levels of gluten exposure and maybe that’s what’s making me ill. Possibly other things also not helping the situation (like dairy). Anyway this gives me something to focus on to see if it helps. So thanks for that!

      Welcome to the celiac.com, @Rejoicephd! 1. "Gluten Free" does not equate to "contains no gluten". According to FDA advertising regulations, it means it cannot contain more than 20ppm of gluten. This is a good standard for most in the celiac community but not good enough for those on the sensitive end of the spectrum. If you find the "Certified Gluten Free" symbol on a package that is even better, indicating that there is no more than 10ppm of gluten.  2. When you are choosing "gluten free" items from a restaurant, realize that it only means gluten is not an intentional ingredient. It does not rule out CC (Cross Contamination) caused by those cooking and preparing the food back in...

      Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’m starting to think I need to just bring my own food everywhere I go). And also even when I am eating foods that say they are gluten free, I’m still dealing with an upset stomach often. My GI doc said I should avoid dairy as well, and the internal medicine doc said my gut microbiome might be messed up from all of this. I’m just...

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms...

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now...
