Hi! I haven't been here for a while, though this is my favorite place to read. Hubby is gluten and soy intolerant. We just moved to manitoba, Canada from the Philippines and now he is having major problems again. his gut seems to be feeling "OK", but he isn't sleeping many nights andis having terrible postnasal drainage and coughing. He has also started throwing up again after several months of being free from this.

at first we thought it was the wool comforter, but we changed that almost 2 weeks ago and he is still bad.

he's been gluten-free for just over a year, soy-free for 10 months. any thoughts or ideas of threads that might be helpful?

thanks-- you guys are the best!

I have a couple of thoughts...

1. Dairy can be a mucus-forming food

2. How long have you been in Manitoba? Have you been there during the summer to know if the higher humidity helps? When it's extremely dry the sinuses can have a hard time keeping up. Thick drainage down the back of your throat can cause coughing and vomiting. <_< You could try using a cold-mist vaporizer to see if that helps.

It does sound like the climate. You can also use the saline nasal spray or gel. That is a big help too.

Could he be allergic to some environmental allergen? Since you are in a cold climate now with the furnace going dust or dust mites seem the most likely. Or is there a food you didn't eat much of in the Philippines and now are eating more in Canada?

Hope he feels better soon.

thanks, all! I'll try some humidifying and cut down on dairy. from there I guess we'll change one or the other back and see which it is or if it's actually both. But I'm just tired of this losing his food!

I don't think his diet has changed significantly since we got here, though I do notice there are different oils in things. and he is eating more dairy:).

has anybody else had this problem?

thanks,

cynth

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but who lack knowledge about how gluten may be hidden in the food supply. I mean, who would expect to find wheat in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but you may want to consider making your kitchen entirely gluten free to eliminate the possibility of accidents and cross contamination. It would also simplify your meal preparation. Yes, I'm talking about both of you eating gluten free in the home. Many couples find this is the easiest and most practical approach to being consistent and keeping their celiac loved one safe. You might find this helpful:

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.
