if diagnosed with a wheat allergy can you somewhere down the road develop Celiac or can you have both??

A wheat allergy is a completely different immune response. Its not related to Celiac at all. An allergy cannot turn into Celiac. Celiac Disease is autoimmune . It is possible to have both conditions though. Some Celiacs also have a wheat allergy.

I have both celiac disease and a wheat allergy.

besides blistery rash around the nose son when after eating anything like oatmeal, rootbeer,

anything with wheat he gets patches of bumps (very little ) on both cheeks. & there not itchy

when little they said he had slight wheat allergy tested 5mths ago they said he had no allergies.

I had a wonderful weekend. I tried some new suntan lotion for the sun tan machines, because I need a base tan before I get to jamaica. Well I contacted the company who said there was no wheat or wheat gluten in it. Well, I tried it on my leg, it felt like my flesh was burning off, welts rose on my leg and I quickly had a shower. However, my face swelled up and was burning, I have a killer headache and runny nose, then my stomach started burning and the big D started to come back. I believe along with my wheat allergy which has probably gotten worse since going gluten-free and my Celiac, along with maybe something else chemical.

At first I thought I had the flu but the doctor said it was a very violent allergic reaction and it more than likely had wheat in it somewhere. I read every label and still it happens.

my daughter has both Celiac and a wheat allergy. She breaks out into hives if she even touches anything with wheat.

I dont have a wheat allergy but sometimes my skin is affected from gluten. I've gotten rashes or tiny bumps on my face....they dont itch. I dont have DH.

so do you also get mini blisters? on face??

I dont think they're blisters. They're very tiny clear bumps but they dont pop or oooze or anything. They just go away on their own. My skin will sometimes burn slightly before they show up. They're so small though...nothing even very noticeable.

I get a rash and/or hives from gluten. They look a lot like chicken pox, but they can blend together to form a rash. Sometimes they are itchy and somethimes they aren't. I'm not sure if the reaction is due to celiac disease or my wheat allergy. The spots don't look like dh, so I'm assuming they are a result of my wheat allergy.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
