Allergies

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.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
