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.

      I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!

      Since you're having a last hurrah with gluten, request another round of blood tests for celiac antibodies.  Make sure you're eating ten grams or more daily for those few weeks before your capsule endoscopy.  You probably weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten needed to provoke sufficient antibody production.

      Christmas Cake

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello all I am taking some time out from work today to make my annual Christmas cake along the lines of a tried and tested English recipe which means a fruit cake, with marzipan  and icing.   As usual, I've left it too late - we're meant to bake these things some time  in advance to improve the flavour.    I never remember.  But it never seems to matter! I thought I'd share it in case any UK coeliacs still haven't made theirs and don't have a recipe, or any of my friends across the Pond want to try making one.  Do you make iced fruit cakes like this in the US for Christmas? - I have no idea! I adapt it slightly as instead of fondant icing I make Royal Icing which sets hard and you can create exciting snow scenes with it if you can find any tiny model houses, churches and trees to put on it!  (my Mum used to do this).   https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/your-gluten-free-hub/home-of-gluten-free-recipes/1511804/ With thanks to the charity Coeliac Uk for this recipe.

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.
