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.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
