I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but since going gluten free just over a year ago I have developed hayfever symptoms which are becoming progressively worse. I say it is hayfever but it isn't seasonal because I've had it over the winter too. On the whole I'm so much better with my digestive problems improving all the time so I don't why I've suddenly become sensitive to airborne allergens.

That is interesting, because after I went gluten-free my nasal issues and allergies seemed to improve drastically. Is it possible you are still getting some gluten in your diet? 

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

Hi Scott

Thank you for your reply

I don't think I'm having any gluten in my diet. I only cook fresh food at home and I'm really careful about reading labels. On the whole my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling very much better. However, I still do have the occasional 'attack' severe stomach pain and vomiting which probably happens about once a month.  My partner eats gluten containing food and I think these attacks may be due to cross contamination in the kitchen. I think the new sensitivity the airborne allergens may be just a coincidence.

Is there any chance you have mold or mildew somewhere in your home? I've heard some horror stories about people who get major allergy and other health issues, and then discover black mold in their home.

Hi Scott

No, there isn't any mould but the road outside our house has got a lot busier lately. A lot more houses have been built in the area and I wonder if road pollution has something to do with it.

It's certainly possible, but since it just turned spring it could also be something that is blooming now that you are allergic to. Perhaps new plants around the new houses?

Yes, it could be. Anti histamines help with the symptoms but I don't really like to take them long term.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By RMJ · Posted

      Is there a minimum time since diagnosis of refractory celiac disease?  I really hope I’m not eligible for your study, but looking for it is one reason my gastroenterologist suggested an endoscopy. I’m having it later this month, due to still having GI symptoms on a strict gluten free diet.

      Anyone diagnosed with Refractory Coeliac Disease can participate (they do not need to be in the UK but would need to be able to speak and understand English as the intervention is facilitated in English language)

      Is this only for those in the UK, or can anyone diagnosed with celiac disease participate?
