Anyone else have these annoying, persistent effects when you were just starting to go gluten-free? This has been a problem for a long time, and I thought it was thyroid (I was dx'ed hypo last summer), but it's been pronounced normal now, so is it a celiac thing? I am constantly clearing my throat and using eye drops, but I have no other signs of allergies. Any thoughts on how long it takes to let up??

My throat is a lot better----have to watch the sugar, cause it will cause reflux symptoms. Dry eyes haven't changed---I use prescription eye drops.

I'm not sure what to tell you. My sister and I both lost our voices long before going gluten free. We lost them for nearly an entire summer. Now we have these raspy voices, very similiar to each other, so much so, that when she leaves me a voicemail on my phone, I actually think I am listening to myself at first!!! That happened to us when our boys were in little league, and they are grown men now--we have both been gluten gree for 8 yrs.

As for the dry eye, I have suffered with that for about 2 yrs now. It's been really bad this last winter and spring. Maybe you should check into Sjogrens Disease. Read up on it. Allergies also cause dry eye and dry throat.

OMG...you lost your voice??!! That would kill me!! I sing constantly, and it's the only thing that keeps me from going over the edge most days. (Now Im wondering if that's what's happening to my son. He's nearly 14, so his voice is deepening, but it has a funky raspiness to it...actually, my brother's does, too. Hmm...)

Our kids were in heaven! :lol: They thought it wonderful, no yelling at them! Honest, it lasted all summer.

Now, men tell me it's a very sexy voice! :P

Dairy gives me the constant hurrrumph, makes me feel horrible, causes constipation and I am sure it has contributed to the dry eyes which do seem a bit better since I dropped both dairy and gluten.

I still get some catarrgh even without them both but I hope that will improve as my body finally gets rid of a lot of the crud it has been carting around for the last 50 years!

Nobody says how old they are, but dry eyes can be part of the natural aging process and . . . dare I say it . . . menopause.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
