Gluten and Increased Allergies

I have been doing extremely well sticking to the gluten free diet. However this last week I have had gluten, not a huge amount but still gluten. I have always had bad “allergies”. No immediate allergic reaction to consuming gluten/wheat. Since consuming the gluten I have had a tickle in my throat and a cough that won’t go away. Could this be an increased histamine response or something due to consuming gluten? I couldn’t sleep last night bc of the tickle and cough. Anyway to calm it down?

I have a similar issue without any gluten consumption that I know of. Wondering if celiac masks other allergies that re-emerge or emerge once villi start recovering.

Ginger... I get a cough and tickle in my throat when I get reflux, which in my case can be triggered after glutening, or after taking certain medication (NSAIDs and antibiotics primarily) or by just eating too much rich food.  I've noticed these past two or three years it starts up after my birthday  - too much cake!  Just a suggestion for you in case you wish to look into it further.  To me, it feels like it could be an allergy and when it's bad I benefit from a few puffs from an asthma inhaler, but I really do think it's to do with reflux.   I manage to get mine to go by following a reflux diet for a month and using Gaviscon after my last meal of the day, and using a wedge pillow when I sleep.

In my case, rather than mask allergies, celiac disease definitely magnified my allergies, especially to various pollens and mold. I had to take allergy shots for years up until I got diagnosed with celiac disease and went on a gluten-free diet. Soon afterwards nearly all of my pollen allergies went away and for the first time in my life I could breathe through my nose on a regular basis.

Thank you for this perspective. Inflammation was everywhere else for me but allergies flared pretty intensively this year which is also when I was diagnosed with Celiac. Trying to get at the chicken and/or the egg.

      Anyone From South Africa

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having...

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.
