Celiac Diease And Anaphylactic Nut Allergy?

I have been diagnosed with severe Celiac disease for about a year now. Also, I have an Anaphylactic tree nut allergy as well which i have known about for 2 years. My question is what are the chances of both!!!!??? And is there anyone else out there with the same problem??? :(

Food is such a chore because everything has to be nut free too! I haven't had a cookie in forever!! Someone help!! The local gluten free bakery uses nuts so I have nothing but a tiny gluten free section in Loblaws and about 7 of the many products on that shelf. :angry:

Can anyone shed some light on this?? My doctors have no answer for me, at least the ones who actually know what Celiac is! :)

There are others with both, yes. I have other anaphylactic allergies, but not nuts. (latex and squash...wtf??? lol)

As for cookies, its time to get creative in the kitchen! Homemade= sooo much better than store bought :-) But there are plenty of gluten and nut free cookies out there- I suggest you try a health food store, such as whole foods or trader joes, or order online. There's a brand called enjoy life that makes products free of all common allergens, including gluten and nuts. Their products are pretty hit or miss, and I haven't tried the cookies, but they're safe! I'm sure there are other brands as well.

PS- My cousins have anaphylactic nut allergies, and a dessert that works for all of us is meringues or chocolate dipped strawberries (one's also egg-allergic) or something like that.

If you can eat peanuts there are several recipes that use peanut butter and chocolate chips and are really good! :)

The good life brand double chocolate brownies (i think that's the name) are pretty stinkin good!!! My husband and my son, both of whom eat gluten, loved them and thought they were great. Check them out for a cookie fix!

The great thing about good life is that they do not use the "dirty eight" allergens, and have facilities dedicated to these items so there's no risk of CC. LOVE THAT!

My 6 year old daughter is in the same boat. She's anaphylactic to peanuts, and ALL tree nuts are off limits. She's also intolerant to soy, as well as allergic to dairy and eggs.

You are absolutely not the only one!!! I've known I was allergic to tree nuts for years. Even as a little kid I had a hard time explaining how weird my throat felt if I ate a cookie with walnuts or something in it. (Hello?!?!? That's the feeling of your throat closing!) I'm not sure if I would be considered anaphylactic or not, but I react with a swelling throat, I get all sweaty and shaky, and then I vomit. My reactions have actually gotten a little worse over the years, but I've never had to carry a shot or medication or anything. It's still a meserable and terrifying experience to get a nut by mistake though.

Anyway, I was diagnosed with Celiac this Spring. I have been pretty happy with the Enjoy Life Brand products I've tried. I've eaten the Snickerdoodle cookies and the trail mix, and they aren't bad. It's very nice to know I can trust they are nut and wheat free. I am lucky enough to NOT be allergic to peanuts, and hope the same is the case with you. I just made peanut butter cookies this weekend: 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and a glug of molasses. (Chill the does as it's sticky) Bake at 350. Nobody should have to love without cookies!!! Plus, with these you don't have to go buy any special flours or anything. Hope it helps!!

My family is in a similar position.

My oldest has an anaphylactic nut allergy. No peanuts or tree nuts or shared equipment products. She also is extremely lactose intolerant.

My youngest is a celiac, dairy allergy, shellfish allergy, egg allergy is suspect, and she can't have nuts due to sibling anaphylactic allergy.

I just have Celiacs. So although we don't have the nut and Celiac combo, we eat like it. And yes, we have the why me days! And the "This SUCKS!!" days. But overall, we eat pretty well. Of course, I have learned to love baking, so that helps.

The Enjoy Life chocolate chips and cookies are great. We love their brownie cookies too.

Also try the CherryBrook Kitchen Chocolate Cake mix. Sooo good!

Namaste Blondies are yummy!

gluten-free Pantry Brownie mix, Coffee Cake mix, etc are great!

Start learning to love lists, because it is the only way I can keep track of all of this!

Good luck and it does get better.

I'm celiac and allergic to peanuts. I'm not anaphylactic so that makes things a bit easier, but I do somewhat understand the difficulty. I was at a party the other night and all the stuff that didn't have gluten had peanuts! Seriously, what are the odds? Usually my friends are really good at having something I can eat, but that night it was like everyone had gluten-induced brain fog and forgot what I couldn't eat :P Not that I minded, I always come prepared.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
