Could It Be Related To Celiac

stillhaveing probs after being gluten-free since may, my sister has a peanut allergy ( very seriouse one that could kill her). i stopped eating peanuts and my tummy is better, my ? is , i know you can get other intoleraces from celiac and i ahve a milk one but are ther any others like peanuts or is this just a family gene thing about the peanuts, i also thought that if you have a peanut allergy you acouldnt eat other nuts ( i still have my cashews) and also is it possible for you to have such a small reaction to nuts ,all ive ever heard is the bad reaction about peanuts, bit confused about this one.

My younger sister is severly allergic to peanuts as well (Epi-pen on hand). I don't think it really effects her stomach though. It seems to only bring on a rash and swelling. Not to sure though.

I noticed that once I removed the gluten from my diet, I was still having problems so I went to an allergist. I found out that I was mildly allergic to cantaloupe, buckwheat, carrots, garlic, and corn. Some of these I had to specially request to be tested for, like carrots and buckwheat, as they are not part of the normal food allergy panel that allergists typically test for. The carrots, for instance, is such a rare allergy that the nurse who was there said she had been an allergy nurse for 25 years and had never met anyone allergic to carrots. According to my allergist, he said people with celiac disease often have unusual food allergies.

If you are still having problems, try food elimination and see an allergist. There may also be new gluten-free foods introduced into your diet that you didn't know you had problems with because you'd never really eaten them on a regular basis before. That's how I found out I was allergic to buckwheat. I threw up and got a rash after I started eating buckwheat waffles.

peanuts and treenuts are two seperate allergens.

many people are allergic to both, but you can just be allergic to one.

i am not sure if it's genetic, but every single person i know with a severe peanut allergy, all of their siblings have one, too. this could just be a coincidence.
