Feeling Great gluten-free But.....

I have been gluten-free for 2 months and feel better than I have in years! No more food hang overs, no more headaches, joint aches and bloating, etc. BUT I now have hay fever (running nose, itchy eyes and throat). Is this reaction at all related to Celiac recovery? Dont get me wrong, I would take hay fever over my previous issues any day but it seems a strange coincidence. Anyone else experience this side effect or completely random?

And thanks to all of you for all your help during my last two months!

you know, I was going to post about this also! I've been having allergy like symptoms much more lately since going gluten-free. I always get symptoms this time of year, but this is differant than usuaal...I almost thought I was getting a cold at first! itchy eyes, runny nose, itchy throat! normally I get sinus infections this time of year, but i guess I'd rather have this....

When I went gluten free, the nasal stuffiness I've had all my life went away and I've had no more sinus infections. So the diet IMPROVED my sinus problems.

I wouldn't think a" gluten free diet" could contribute to hay fever at all ----

After reading the variety of symptoms from glutens (and the result of going gluten-free), I guess I am not surprised some people clear up, others go the opposite.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
