Reaction to GlutenFree Bread & Pasta

I've recently been diagnosed with celiac disease so i went out and brought gluten free bread and pasta which i'm having allergic reactions to. It isn't a sever reaction i also have a fish allergic and its very similar to that, swelling of the throat and bloating for about 3-4 hours afterwards, i take a antihistamine which usually stops the throat from swelling so much.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Also what ingredient could it be that is causing this ?

You should probably look at the ingredient list on them, and try each one by themselves in small amounts with a safe diet. We do normally suggest that people avoid processed foods for a while, as it is much easier to read labels and managed the diet when foods you eat consist of only 1-3 ingredients. Also helps to forget the old texture and taste of gluten foods.
It is very common for celiacs to get new food allergies, intolerance, or sensitivities til they are healed, and with each gluten exposure after. Many of mine got less severe over the years and some intolerance/sensitivities went away.

It might be good to look up the Newbie 101 thread for some good starter information to the diet, although it is a bit outdated.

Ennis has it right.   Checking all the ingredient lists is the first step.  Then try the ingredients one at a time.   They use different flours in gluten-free products and also different additives to help the dough rise.  Some commonly used leavening agents are zanthan gum, and guar gum.  Zanthan gum is made by bacteria and some people have a reaction to it.

But, it could be any of the other ingredients also.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!
