Could it be said that since Celiac causes your immune sytem to go crazy and when you go gluten-free that your immune system takes time to settle, during this time my immune system is basically like a gang looking for trouble and that during recovery I might become allergic to a variety of things? I already have a mold situation however I have noticed that even being outdoors I get hit. A very weird feeling. Not as bad as with mold but uncomfortable either way.

Actually, in spring there is a lot of mold in the air, due to moisture, rotting leaves, damp earth etc. Plus pollen, of course. I usually don't feel well in spring due to allergies. And even worse when it gets hot if it is humid, because there is mold in humid air, too.

The mold situation sounds pretty bad from what I read on your previous thread.

When you start reacting to a variety of things it usually means that your toxic burden is high. One way to explain it would be to picture yourself having a bucket inside of you...every toxin you encounter goes into the bucket...the bucket never gets full as long as your system isnt overwhelmed and as long as everything continues to function as it should. There is constant drainage....toxins come in and toxins go out.

When the exposure is significant...as it would be with toxic mold in the home...the bucket starts to overflow. At this point toxins are coming in but they arent leaving quite as efficiently. Because the bucket is overflowing these toxins remain in the body for a longer period of time and the immune system becomes overwhelmed. This triggers reactions.

The longer the situation goes on the worse it can get because the immune system is constantly dealing with all of these toxins. It might start out with the mold but once the bucket is full and you've reached your threshold anything your body encounters can become a problem.

Not trying to scare you but chronic mold exposure can be very devastating to the immune system. I would highly recommend getting yourself out of that situation.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
