Sinus Pressure

Does anyone else have sinus pressure in between the eyes with a dull headache. I dont have any discharge or infection that i can see (no green mucus). Can you have a sinus infection without nasal discharge. I have had this for 2-3 months.

I have had a sinus infection without discharge before, but another option is allergies. I get sinus headaches almost daily if I don't take an antihistamine. If you have allergies at all, this is one option of what may be causing your problems.

I hope you can find some relief; I hate having sinus headaches.

I have a had sinus infections with no drainage from my nose, but down the back of my throat. I ended up having mucus plugs way up in my sinuses. Since I don't tolerate decongestants well, I took anitobiotics and Mucinex. (It's over the counter). Now that I've went gluten free, my sinuses have improved. Even got a cold that didn't turn into an infection. Even my doctor was impressed.

I get inflammation in odd parts of my body due to milk and gluten intolerance. I swell up in the calves, around the knee, shoulders and even the nasal passage.

What happens is it will try and swell shut so everything runs down the back side.

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.

      Does this mean those could raise IgA and TTG IgA in celiacs?
