Welcome to the forum, Jason!

"diarrhea, stomach pain mostly in my liver area, dizziness . . . nausea and fatigue" are common symptoms with celiac disease but "inflammation in my face tissue, knotted up tense shoulder . . . and  insomnia" are not symptoms that I can remember being reported by other celiacs. About 20% of celiacs have elevated liver enzymes that often normalize after being on a gluten free diet for some months.

Ok my doctor also said I have a milk allergy I never had issues with dairy before but do you think that would cause the other problems ?

Inflammation of your facial tissue could be caused by an allergic reaction to a milk protein. But it is also possible you have developed lactose intolerance or an intolerance to the protein (casein) in dairy. These are common in the celiac population. Note that an allergy is not the same as intolerance.

The knotted up tense shoulder could be a neurological manifestation of celiac disease but more likely it is an orthopedic issue. May we ask your age?

For many years before and after my diagnosis I had shoulder knots and serious stiff neck issues. This was an issue for me for at least 10-15 years after my diagnosis, until I started taking supplements for likely vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and switching over to a very firm pillow. For the most part these issues are gone now, but not completely. As @trents mentioned, some of this can be caused by your bed, pillow, ergonomics, posture, etc., and also nutrient deficiencies.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
