Is Chronic Rhinitus A Symptom Of Celieac

Recommended Posts

Thank you to those who still visit this forum to help those of us trying to make sense of our symptoms. My daughter who is 18 has had every symptom that I have seen on this website, but one she has that I have not seen mentioned on the forum pages is chronic rhinitus. She has had chronic rhinitus for 13 years with constant post nasal drip. I have seen this mentioned on one other site but would like to know if anyone else has experienced this. She has chronic fatique, terrible allergies, headaches, joint pain, can't sleep, brain fog and craves carbs. She is in college but will be home for the summer so I am going prepare all gluten free meals for her to see if it helps.

Does anyone have any great book suggestions to help get me started with meals.

Thank you

I just checked the definition

"It is caused by chronic or acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose due to viruses, bacteria or irritants."

Six weeks after being gluten free I woke up with the oddest sensation. The inside of my nose actually felt bigger, it felt like a cavern had opened up in my face. I think my nose was swollen for so long I did not know it was. I did not list it because I did not know it had a name. Nose feels shut most of the time sounds odd. I feel like I could stick a matchbox truck in my nose now.

Why not talk to her now about being gluten free? I did not preach to my 19 year old. She saw the difference in me and i pointed her to this site. After she read a bit she figured it out on her own and really seems to be sticking to it. We talk from time to time. I did send her a list of the alcohol that is gluten free figuring that most college kids drink. Now her hang overs are much less and her urge to get drunk is less.

With my college kid needing to be gluten free she also needs her own kitchen. Some schools can help but they just do not really understand cross contamination. You two may want to think about this soon since I know that drawings for rooms are soon. I have lost so much in my life due to this illness that I do not mind the expense of an apartment for her. Write me if you need ideas or want to talk.

I also suffer from chronic rhinitus and have done since I was a teenager. I have a constant post-nasal drip and have seen several specialists about it. I have been told that it is most likely an allergy and is probably made worse by pollution (I live in the middle of London). I am allergic to dust and have mild hay-fever so I have just accepted this diagnosis and learned to live with it.

I haven't been gluten-free for very long so I don't know if it is related. At present I haven't noticed any change to my symptoms however having read this I shall watch with interest to see if there is a change over the coming weeks.

I was also diagnosed with chronic rhinitus for years before finding out I had Celiac. The ENT used to tell me how "angry and red" my nasal passages were. I honestly don't know if it's connected or not, but I have had much less sinus problems since being gluten-free. I still have seasonal allergies, but I no longer use antihistimines or steroid nasal sprays regularly. I have not had a sinus infection either. I used to get several a year.

I was diagnosed with that as well. I noticed the post nasal drip has been better since going gluten-free and casein free. I also get ear infections yearly. I have severe allergies as well. I get sinus infections every couple of months. :(

Best of luck!

My post nasal drip of years improved so much gluten-free, that I no longer had to use antihistamines round the clock. Now I take a low dose one only occasionally, as needed.

Thank you for writing. I don't know if you saw the other post but she wrote that she noticed a drastic difference at 6 weeks. I hope that happens for you.

Good Luck

I have had chronic allergic rhinitus since I was a child. Terrible year round allergies to dust, molds, and pollens, and cats. I take 24 hr Rx allergy medicine. However, I noticed a long time ago that if I avoid milk, my allergice symptoms are much milder. Since I've gone gluten free, my breathing is better altogether and allergies calmer. Itchy skin is better too.

Allergy is very different but I think if you cut out something that is causing inflammation, like gluten, your overall inflammation like from allergies goes down. I'm not an expert however.

Good luck, allergies have always been a curse for me.

Interestingly enough, I noticed this past week that I have tonsil stones and related this to my post-nasal drip that I've been suffering from for a few months now. I ignored it because I thought I had a cold but it's obviously something more. I've been gluten free for almost a year so I don't think there's a connection there..

Does anyone know of any other food intolerances associated with post-nasal drip? I have no other symptoms.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us. 
    • Ceekay
      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.
