Hi all,

Is it possible to sneeze as an immune reaction to ingestion of gluten?

Hi all,

Is it possible to sneeze as an immune reaction to ingestion of gluten?

Maybe so, but I have not seen it listed as one of the symptoms. I feel that I want to sneeze in the flour section in the grocery isle.

One of my daughter's main symptoms pre-diet was nasal congestion. Before we started looking at the gastro issues her pediatrician ran an allergy swab in her nose and said she had a huge allery count (whatever that means) and wanted to put her on nasal steroids, which we never did because the gastro business suddenly come to the forefront.

Once she started the gluten-free diet her nasal congestion has cleared up (ie. she no longer snores like a buzz saw!). When we suspect that she's been glutened the sneezing and snoring comes right back.

So, I think that there can be a correlation - or it could just be allergies, who knows it would be interesting to re-do that nose swab and find out if it is gone?.

About a year ago, before I was diagnosed I made the comment to my naturopathic doc. that it seemed after i ate regular cereal I would have a sneezing fit.....maybe just a coincidence since I also sneeze while reading the newspaper- something about the ink dust or something. The sneezing was never problematic though.

I tend to have sneezing bouts every so often. Next time I get one I'll have to pay closer attention to what may have set it off.

I know this is an old post, but my son and I were recently diagnosed with celiac. I just googled (sneezing, gluten, celiac) because my son 7 wakes up sneezing 30 times in the mornings. I now notice he doesn't unless we went out to eat and possibly got something with gluten. Yesterday he went to his grandma/pa house and got hungry. So grandma took some breaded chicken breasts peeled it all off, washed the chicken under water, then recoiled it (made me cring when I was told) and again he woke up sneezing. So I want to say YES I believe it could be a possible reaction to gluten.
