Anybody Celiacs and Had an Allergy To rubbing alcohol/perfumes

I was diagnosed with celiacs in 2017. Then in 2020 when I took my food allergy test since I knew  I was alergic to corn and rice, when the lab tech slathered rubbing alcohol on my skin then pricked my skin I had a horrible reaction which took me over a month to get over it.  Rubbing alcohol is a CORN and RYE derrivitive.  Anyway it triggered my MCS. Anybody else with celiacs and struggle with MCS from time to time? (multiple chemical sensitivity). I am alergic to all chemicals, as well as celiacs, as well as being allergic to 10 other foods. ( corn, rice, peanuts, legumes,  shell fish, wheat, brocolli) etc etc. 

I noticed when I got GLUTENED from the wal mart  "gluten free" chips, that triggered my MCS.

And after I got acupuncture on my head in 2017 before knowing I had celiacs. What a freaking FARCE and bull crap. Big scam!!!   N Ds are worthless too. That is why my N D doc could NOT tell me i had celiacs because she is not allowed to diagnose.  My test came up positive and after doing research that is when i realized what the difference is between intolerance and celiacs. Hello!!!!  Get your head of your ---- , if you have antibodies you have celiacs if you don't intolerance. I had high antibodies.      I HAD TO FIGURE THAT OUT ON MY OWN. And how all gluten-free food companies are  big  farce too. Most celiacs become alergic to all grains.  I learn a lot from amazon comments and questions.

But anyway funny how the rubbing alcohol brought out severe perfume allergy in my system as well as MCS.   I am getting better (its been 3 mos)  but still don't know if I will ever be able to wear perfume again. I can maybe smell it from a distance and that is it. For now I am doing good with NOT having any chemical nose attacks , except with petrol wiffs and perfume wiffs. I get horrid symptoms. 

 

Well anyway just looking for a better mask, probably gonna have to go with a full face for awhile.

Can anybody  relate to celiacs, MCS, and other food allergies?  IT ALL GOES TOGETHER.

AS WELL AS  "ADRENAL FATIGUE" .  I have the Pituitary problem and not the adrenal problem.

It is all related.   Well  I know it is so nice not having any celiacs problems anymore once knowing I  can't handle ANY grains.  And knowing what to eat and not eat.  I see all the time on here about celaics "oh i can't eat corn anymore".  "Oh i can't handle  Millet" .  That is because they are GRAINS and those people have TRUE allergies towards them. (hence because of their celiacs status). So anyway moral of the story YOU can get GLUTENED on rubbing  alcohol. No doc will ever touch me with that toxic crap again!!

I don't have much experience with MCS, but it sounds like it's difficult to deal with. Chemicals are in many things we put on our skin each day. 

Many people on this forum have spent years to get their celiac disease diagnosis, and I am no exception...it took my doctors several years to figure it out, even though I had pretty classic symptoms. In the end you are your best advocate for your health, and it's important not to give up even if your doctors do.

Thanks. I am doing pretty good now except perfumes and fragrance smells .I been wearing a full on respirator at work and to the store etc etc. So NOW my symptoms are less .The filters don't last long which is sad since they are only picking up on ambient smells.  My food allergy test came up me alergic to turkey but not chicken in August. WELL now i am alergic to chicken. I was nervous to try to eat it since i hadn't eaten since  MAY.  I got a sore throat and extreme dizziness and I am sure more symptoms are to come. Well I had to poo poo too and my stomach hurts a bit.  BUT because of my MCS I cannot eat any processed foods. Because all processed foods has chemicals . OR most do.   Surely I am not the only celiac person with  20 other food allergies.   BUT i just eat the same things over and over again and i am doing fine. Beef, eggs, cheese, banana, advocado, potatos, blueberries. Almonds and almond bread.  I really don't get sick  of eating all that either over and over again. I don't really like eggs so  I don't eat them much. BUT I can't wait to make my own potato chips and sweet potato chips fried in coconut oil. I buy the stuff at aldis. It is pretty good quality. That Spectrum I bought long ago at wal mart had a chemical in it.  AND sad that the food supply has been poisoned for a long time and some batches are and some aren't. I just had a bad alergic reaction to the Terra chips!!!!  (sweet potato). I smelled the chemical but i kept eating them. The first 8-9 bags i did NOT smell no chemical smell. IT was the last 3 bags i bought before Thanksgiving, all 3 were laced!!!!  The first bag I did fine then the second bag I smelled more of the chemical on the chips etc and i REACTED.   SO never again. I gotta make my own now. And i definitely don't eat any potato without peeling them first. Ok I hope you are doing great now!!!!  It used to be fun going to the store or Dollar General buying chemicals and  junk food. NOW it is no fun because i don't do much shopping. I only use coconut oil and baking soda and that is it, for my body ,teeth and clothes. IT is NOT hard for me .

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      There are thirteen essential vitamins:  eight B vitamins, four fat soluble vitamins, and Vitamin C.  They all work together.   If you are deficient in one, you are probably low in the other dozen.  Celiac Disease affects the absorption of all the vitamins, and the dozen or so essential minerals, as well.  Cobalamine Vitamin B12, needs Folate B9 and Pyridoxine B6 to function properly.  Pyridoxine B6 needs Riboflavin B2.  Vitamin C is needed to interact with B12 as well.  Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 are also needed to provide the energy for these vitamins to function properly.  If one is also low in Folate and Pyridoxine, B12 Cobalamine is not going to be able to function properly and the body doesn't bother to absorb it.   Vitamin D is safe even in high doses.  Vitamin D3 should be supplemented.  Vitamin D2 is not as well utilized because it's synthetic, not a form the body can utilize easily.  Vitamin D must be activated by Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Insufficient Thiamine B1 will make one feel "dopey".  Thiamine is needed for brain function.  The brain uses as much energy just thinking as your muscles do while running a marathon.   Multivitamins do not contain sufficient amounts of essential vitamins to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Supplementing with ALL eight B vitamins, extra Thiamine (don't use the form thiamine mononitrate because it's not absorbed nor utilized well), Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins will be more beneficial than just supplementing one or two vitamins by themselves. With sufficient amounts of essential vitamins, the immune system gets regulated and becomes less reactive to other things like pollen, molds and animal dander.  Sleep apnea is frequently found in Thiamine insufficiency.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.  The B vitamins all work together.  Supplement them together.

      Intermittent Fatigue

      By Michelle Amirault-Packard · Posted

      He should definitely have his vitamin D and Vitamin B12 checked.  I have celiac and i always felt tired, sometimes i described it as dopy.My vitamin D is always low at times extremely low which can affect you. But  I also did some research and contacted my doctor to see if she checked my Vitamin B12 and She said she didn’t check my vitamin B-12 because a wasn’t Anemic and the normal protocol is , if you are not Anemic they don’t test for B-12.  She had no problem doing the test for me and it came back super super deficient . So I was given a shot of B12 once a week for 4 weeks and I give myself 1 shot intramuscular once a month now for 18 years. Once your B12 is low it can take a long time to bring it back up and sustain it. I think it took about 6 months to get a decent number and about a year to get it right. I do get my Vitamin D checked but not yearly more like every other year because it is a more expensive test and I tend to always be low. I do take a vitamin D supplement but I would talk to your doctor before taking a supplement to make sure you don’t take too much especially if you are already taking a multivitamin. Because too much D can also have some bad side effects.  Celiacs tend to be able to take a higher dose due to our digestive and malabsorption issues but always talk to your doctor before taking. Other things could be making him feel extremely tired  like new allergies like pollens, animals, molds etc.. sleep apnea is a huge one( cause extreme fatigue) and some medications. Just other things he can have checked! Good luck

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I suggest you eliminate dairy from your son's diet next.  Cow's milk protein, Casein, can trigger tTg IgA antibody production, the same as gluten, because casein contains segments of proteins that resemble gluten protein segments.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/ I cannot consume dairy products.  Some people find they can tolerate A2 dairy without a reaction. Corn is another frequently hard to tolerate food because the protein zein in corn also resembles the protein structure of gluten.   Do research in Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and TTFD thiamine.  Taking TTFD really can make a dramatic difference, speaking from personal experience. https://hormonesmatter.com/energy-deficiency-asd/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Bowel issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're doing everything right with your gluten-free diet, yet still experiencing significant discomfort, which must be frustrating. Since your stool sample came back normal but symptoms persist, pushing for further investigation—like a colonoscopy or biopsy—is a reasonable next step. You might also want to discuss the possibility of additional conditions, such as IBS, microscopic colitis, or other inflammatory issues, with your doctor. Tracking your symptoms, diet, and triggers in detail could help identify patterns. Don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself—if your current doctor isn’t addressing your concerns, seeking a second opinion or a referral to a gastroenterologist could be beneficial. You’re right to seek answers, and I hope you find relief soon. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
