After gluten exposure, does anyone else get post nasal drip, a sore throat, and a cough that lasts for weeks? Ingesting caesin makes it worse, so I try to avoid dairy. It’s very difficult to cope with though, since I am allergic to eggs. Since I was diagnosed with celiac 13 years ago, my body is becoming allergic or intolerant of more and more foods. It’s hard to avoid eating wheat, eggs, or dairy.

Welcome to the forum, Stacy1!

Several of the symptoms you describe are mine as well but not so much from gluten consumption as from other food intolerances/allergies. I'm especially troubled by the post nasal drip when trying to sleep at night but it comes and goes with congestion, drippy nose especially in the morning hours. I also believe this ties in with frequent migraines at times. In my case I believe I have histamine intolerance/MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) which is common in the celiac community. Are you familiar with these?

Same is true with eggs.  Depends on the grains fed the chickens and cows.     

  Is Palmitic Acid High In Histamine  "Palmitic acid is found in a wide range of animal and plant-based foods. Animal-derived sources include meat, dairy products, and eggs. These sources provide palmitic acid in varying amounts, depending on the animal's diet and lifestyle." 

        Is Linoleic Acid High In Histamine  "Studies have shown that a diet high in omega-6 fatty acids, including linoleic acid, can lead to an increase in the production of pro-inflammatory molecules in the body. These molecules can trigger an immune response and promote the release of histamine from mast cells."

Except for Ireland and New Zealand, commercial dairies add Palmitic acid to their feed to increase the volume of milk and milkfats .  Omega 6:3 ratio is 5:1.  Organic dairy is 3:1 and 100% Grassfed milk is 1:1.

From the headline below you might get the idea that Palmitic acid increases the digestability of milk, but it refers to improving the digestability of the feed given the cow.  

        Palmitic acid increased yields of milk and milk fat and nutrient digestibility across production level of lactating cows  "Results show that palmitic acid fed at 2% of diet DM [Dry Material] has the potential to increase yields of milk and milk fat, independent of production level without increasing body condition score or body weight."

I had many other pollen and food allergies at the time of my diagnosis, and spent roughly the first 25 years of my life with terrible nasal congestion. This issue went away within a few months of going gluten-free. I suspect that my immune system was overwhelmed by dealing with eating gluten, and after I quit eating it things changed, and my nasal issues got better.

Sorry to hear that. I’m not familiar with those.

Glad to hear that you feel better! 25 years is a long time. I will have to follow a more strict gluten-free diet, although when I do, my egg allergy will inevitably get worse.

Stacy1, what is the LPR for above your name at the top of the page with your first post?

Consider trying out duck eggs, which I switched to for several years around the time of my diagnosis:
