Arm pit lymph nodes

[designerstubble]

Hello friends
Its been years since I was on year, diagnosed 6 years ago... I had a 2 year recovery but have been well for a long time.
For the first time ever, I accidentally consumed wheat starch in a vitamin tonic.
I had no awful symptoms (vomiting/diarrhoea) except a very tender abdomen, especially in pancreas and liver area... 
A week or so after, I noticed an elevated patch of skin on my armpit. When I examined I had a very tender lymph node (it hadn't hurt until I poked about, except a few pinch pains previously that I thought nothing of)...
So, its been 3 weeks since glutening... I've gone to see docs, they have referred me to breast clinic... I'm petrified now, so trying to think of possible reasons. 
But I am wondering whether anyone has experienced anything similar, or if its even normal for axillary nodes to swell after gluten exposure?
Any advice greatly appreciated.

good to see you!  glad you are doing well.

I don't know the answers to your questions, but coincidentally, my kid just texted me that they found a lump on her nodes.  so, they are sending her for a bunch of tests.  today.  i'll let you know and we'll compare notes?  she just had a baby, so her autoimmune might have been triggered  

edited to correct myself:  they found a nodule on her thyroid....  don't know if it's the same.  time for a crash course in thyroid.  calling dr google, calling dr google...…. ?

It wasn’t due to glutening but in my 30s I had a tender, swollen lymph node in my armpit that turned out to be mononucleosis.
