Can celiacs make asthma worse?

I have not been diagnosed with celiacs yet nor have I had any tests done though I am hoping to get them done soon. I am an adolescent female and other the last few weeks my asthma has deteriorated considerably and the gps and specialists are finding that common asthma treatments ie: prednisolone steroids,salbutamol (blue inhaler), steroid inhaler are barely making a difference. We cannot for the life of us think what is making me worse apart from gluten and every time I eat anything with gluten I experience lots of symptoms relating to celiacs. Has anyone found that celiacs has made their asthma worse or has made their asthma flare up when eating gluten? Thanks

I can only answer from my own experience but my asthma disappeared completely once I was diagnosed. Have no idea of the same would happen for you. I was on albuterol and singulair and only had to refill my inhalor once after diagnosis. Do keep eating gluten until you are done testing for celiac. Don't go gluten free first as you will need to go back on for testing and for many their symptoms become worse on a challenge.

I pray you get some answers and relief soon for your asthma and stomach issues.  Your post caught my eye because lately the past few months I am wondering if I am coming down with asthma or allergy induced asthma, but my stomach issues have been bad too, so that does make me wonder if it causes breathing/lung issues? Are you having stomach distention or bad stomach bloat?  When mine gets bad, I get upper back ache, my rib cage hurts and feels like so much pressure in it, and my breathing feels heavy, which probably makes sense since I feel the big, hard stomach bloat putting pressure on my ribs and maybe even my lungs and diaphragm maybe. It feels like a combination of a very heavy bowling ball inside me, weighing down and pushing in, and a balloon inside that is being blown up way too big, and putting pressure, pushing pressure outward from my waist to my chest.  No fun.  Here's hoping we all find relief and stay that way!  It sure is a hard road to recovery sometimes, but it gets there. Hang in there.

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.
