Hi all,

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

Hi all,

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.

Hi all,

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

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.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
