Closed Throat/ Lump In Throat Feeling

Hi, recently diagnosed with wheat, oat, barley, eggs, soy allergies. Allergist didnt mention celiac term to me at all.

I have cut out all of the aforementioned products and the vicious rash and diarrhea went away.

Acupuncture really helped with rash.

Now I am dealing with this annoying and constant lump in my throat feeling. No reflux, heartburn, etc issues.

This feeling will not disappear! So annoying- not sleeping, constantly swallowing, ick!!!

Not sure what my next step should be.

Going to a new GP/ gastro guy next week- terrified of drs btw...

Any suggestions for blood tests, etc would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Jill

Jill,

Make sure you get checked for things like infected tonsels, swollen glands and epiglottis infection, even tumors (heaven forbid). Don't assume it is allergy/celiac related. An ENT (ear, nose and throat) doc might also be a good avenue to explore if your other docs don't come up with good ideas.

Hey Steve, thanks for the advice. I am not feeling at all sick in any way but I won't discount your suggestions. Since I am more aware of how I am feeling these days, I do notice that this closed up feeling has occurred in the past and I am trying to pinpoint as to when it might be happening and if it is related to an allergy/food reaction-issue.

thanks again,

Jill

Thyroid....

Make sure you get a full Thyroid Test done. That includes Free T4, Free T3 and Thyroid Antibodies. Go to www.stopthethyroidmadness.com I had that lump as you describe. Dr did all the cancer checks and had no reasons for it. She kept telling me my Thyroid was 'normal'. I eventually got copies of my tests , and found she had been testing ONLY ...TSH.... So make sure you get all the tests done, and get your paperwork and make sure that your results are completely normal and don't just take a Drs opinion of it. Drs can be wrong .... And most Drs don't understand Thyroid. I have had 3 Endos and 10 Drs over a 30 years time span that did not understand my autoimmune Thyroid - so be aware.... My current Dr is great - she has Hashimotos Thyroid herself, and had to train herself off the Internet and with expensive Conferences AFTER she was a dr. The Endos also gave her the run around when she was trying to get diagnosed..

GERD also causes that feeling as well. I would get it checked it out though.

I forgot to say that my throat is fine now. Eventually I had the full thyroid blood tests and an ultrasound that showed an enlarged multinodular thyroid ( goitre). It took about 8 weeks of changing Drs and getting appts etc - to reach this stage. All that time I could barely swallow and my voice was husky. I could only eat rice... After going onto Armour Thyroid - the Goitre eventually went away and a ultrasound done a couple of months ago showed that the swelling had gone and that all the nodules had disappeared. Luckily I started Armour before the nodules grew large. :)

My DD has been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis which is inflammation in her throat, probably caused by an allergic reaction. Diagnosis involves multiple biopsies taken in different areas of the esophagus to rule out GERD and to count the number of eosinophils in each area. This is a relatively rare disease but is being diagnosed more each year. Not all GI doctors know about this disease and it can be tricky to do the biopsies the correct way. Most often, they put you on reflux medicine prior to checking for EE to see if that may be causing the problem.

www.apfed.org has information on eosinophilic esophagitis.

reflux can cause that sensation in your throat----even if you don't get heartburn. i deal with this on a regular basis.

I used to get that feeling too. I had a goiter and was put on synthroid. My thyroid was like 3 times the normal size. It is much better now.

My haital hernia is giving me a sore throat , strachty feeling, lost of voice, pressure on my left breast. I didn't realize how swollen my throat was until I change my blood pressure medicine. At that point my throat swelling changed. For awhile it was thought it was the cause of my problem. Alas, it turned out to be my hernia is back. The endoscope did not show the hernia; but a barium swallow did.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
