Alcohol sweeteners are usually gluten-free, but they are a very common cause of IBS-like symptoms in many people. We have an article on this topic that will be published on Celiac.com this Saturday.

Is there a connection between histaminintolerance and celiac too?

Scott Adams Grand Master

There is some evidence to suggest a potential connection between histamine intolerance and celiac disease, although the relationship is not fully understood. Histamine intolerance occurs when there is an imbalance between histamine levels in the body and the body's ability to break down histamine. This can lead to symptoms such as headaches, digestive issues, skin rashes, and respiratory problems.

Celiac disease, on the other hand, is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. While celiac disease primarily affects the digestive system, it can also cause systemic symptoms and affect other parts of the body.

Some researchers have suggested that individuals with celiac disease may be more prone to histamine intolerance due to disruptions in the gut microbiome and increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut) associated with celiac disease. Additionally, some foods that are high in histamine, such as aged cheeses and fermented foods, may also contain gluten, which could exacerbate symptoms in individuals with celiac disease.

However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between histamine intolerance and celiac disease, as well as the mechanisms underlying any potential connection.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly general immune markers if this keeps happening. Also, people with celiac disease can have reduced spleen function, or hyposplenism, which is one reason some celiac organizations recommend pneumococcal vaccination or making sure you are up to date on pneumonia-related vaccines. Since you are getting bronchitis, pneumonia, and frequent colds in your late 20s, I would not just brush it off, especially if symptoms are lingering after a week and a half. It may or may not be directly from celiac, but repeated respiratory infections are worth documenting and discussing with your doctor, and possibly with an allergist/immunologist or pulmonologist.
