Recurring Sore Throat


bklyn

Recommended Posts

bklyn Enthusiast

Checking to see if there are any opinions on this problem - I'm getting a sore throat (ear hurts too) every few days. I don't have a cold and it comes and goes. Since I don't have a Gp doc, I'm not sure who to go to, or if I should wait it out. I also feel very tired when my throat hurts.

Any help?

Thanks

I seem to have a constant sore throat...as if I'm on the verge of a cold that never really hits full force! I also have ear pain that coincides, and when I do get a cold I tend to have sinus pain and toothache as well. This time of year, and spring, is especially bad...I believe that mold and mildew play a big role for me.

Doesn't hurt to go to a Dr to check it out. Is there a walk-in clinic you can go to?

sometimes i get a sore throat if thhe heat is on too high from the dryness. or you could be fighting off a virus?! how long has been going on for?

It could be allergies. I've just figured out that my allergies show up in my throat in the form of post nasal drip and cause my throat and ears to hurt. I always thought allergies came in the form of a runny nose, eyes or sneezing until recently.

I had a constant sore throat (without the ear pain, though), and got hoarse a LOT. Ended up that I had Gastro-Laryngeal Reflux. Instead of just burning my esophagus, the reflux came all the way up to my larynx. I did 90 days of Nexium and a kind of limiting diet (the no chocolate thing was the worst part), but haven't had much problem since . . . .

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn!  Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's.  In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

      Today, in Uniontown, PA,  I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good!

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.

      Will definitely keep you posted. We live in Japan and will fly to Australia for the endoscopy end of April so until then, for the next ten weeks, we will just start adding gluten daily. 2 slices of white bread a day is what the guidelines seem to say.    But I welcome advice from members here who have done successful gluten challenges. I know they are not always successful.    I have also read I should monitor his growth. Is that really a concern for 10 weeks of gluten consumption? He is growing and has always followed his curve but he’s no basketball player at 20-25th centile.
