Hi everyone...

well after going to doctor after doctor...with them saying oh you are fine...

Well I am not fine...

I am so glad I found this website and thread...I started to have sinus problems even had an operation to help with it...now I figured out myself, I cant eat WHEAT, I did not know it could have been somthing so simple like that..

So if anyone can give me any tips or if any of you have had this same sinus problem I would sure love to chat...

Hello and welcome. The first thing I am going to suggest is that you ask your doctors specifically for the blood test for celiac, do this before you stop eating gluten. You MUST still be eating gluten for the blood and if desired the endo, otherwise you will get a false negative. Even on a full gluten diet some will still have a false negative so after you have done all the testing you want to do please be sure to give the diet a good try afterwards.

If you go to the home page here you will find tabs that will give you a lot of information on celiac along with some good links.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. I hope you have some answers and some relief soon.

Welcome to the board!

Ravenwoodglass gave excellent advice above! (Happy Birthday, btw!)

But I can tell you that my oldest son was plagued with chronic sinus infections (and ear infections,) pre-gluten-free. Now he has not had a single one in a year. I also have had chronic sinus issues, and so has my younger son. We both have been improving as well, and I hope that this winter won't be quite so miserable.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
