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.

Hi all,

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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
