New Food Issues

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

Has he taken antibiotics lately for anything?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
