Did you make the sushi? I wonder if you got CC'd from it. Perhaps not from the ingredients but from the making.

A lot of us also have other intolerances. I get hives also but I get them from soy, I get blisters from gluten. Have you greatly increased the amount of soy you are consuming? It took me a while to figure out the soy, which was confirmed by Enterolab last summer.

i wouldnt think i was increasing the soy. no, i didnt make the sushi myself. i went to a very high-end fish restaurant.

so you think the soy made me break out in hives?

This seems to happen to me every few months too. One of the first times it was from licking envelops, another time from going into a friends restaurant kitchen while someone happened to be breading something. It's not always from some eaten with hidden gluten for me.

Also I gave up edamame as most come from China now -- even in high end Japanese places. It would not surprise me if they coat it with a wheat starch prior to packing, freezing and shipping from China.

I have no idea if that was the case for you. Hives are a histamine reaction and they usually show up soon after consumption of the offending allergen. One way to find out if it is a problem is to eliminate it for a little while, at least till the hives clear up for a couple days and then add it back in and see if you break out again.

However before you ate the sushi did you ask them to use a clean surface, gloves and utensils ? Even a little gluten residue left on the prep surface could have resulted in cross contamination.

what contains gluten in sushi? tempura? isnt that it?

I've known some places to use soy sauce in certain types of sushi, so it's not impossible there was soy sauce in or on the prep area.

Also what brand of ice cream did you have? Some brands have an ingredient list a mile long and could include gluten, particularly barley.

Surimi, the imitation crab sticks or crab salad that is in most rolls can contain gluten. It is used as a binder along with the fish. Some of it is Gluten-free, you just have to ask them to read the label.

Also, at my local sushi restaurant, there is wheat in their soy sauce so I bring my own. They also use soy in their bbq eel sauce, terriyaki, ponzu and spicy sauces.

Just ask lots of questions and make sure they know to use a clean board, mat and knife.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
