Tonsils Got Smaller

My whole life I have had rather large tonsils....it was debated to have them removed. Everytime i went to the dentist he would ask me if I was sick.

Well, I've been gluten-free for a few months. I looked down my throat the other day and was suprised to see they are almost not even visible!!!! one is still a little larger than the other, but nothing like on gluten. I'm amazed :) which would also explain why it is is easier for me to sing now!

Has anyone related? is it something to do with the antibodies?......kinda like the tonsils swell when fighting off infection, so it would make sense for them to swell if the body is fighting off an intruder (gluten)

Yes. It must be nice to hear your full voice unmuffled by tonsil tissue. :lol:

My daughter's throat was always irritated and swolen prior to diagnosis. The doctor would just look in there and say it looked like allergies and give her a nasal drip spray to use (because we'd usually take her in to be seen for her perpetually clogged sinuses).

Voila. When she was diagnosed with Celiac the sinus problems and throat irritation (and dark circles under her eyes) cleared up. :D

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By smilebehappy · Posted

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      Gluten-Free Picnics--It Seems Like There Should Be More of Them!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By RMJ · Posted

      It took me 5 years to get one of my celiac antibodies down into the normal range.  A few years later it went up to a low positive. I had started baking with a certain gluten free flour. When I switched to a certified gluten free flour the antibody level went back down to normal. Has anything changed in your diet, supplements, kitchen, etc. that might correlate with the increase?
