Runny/congested Nose After Eating Gluten?

Hey,

Just wondering...how many of you suffer SEVERE congestion/runny-nose symptoms, almost like coming down with a seasonal "cold", after eating gluten? One of the prime ways I know I've been glutened (or, some other food intolerance for all I know) is that I go through a whole box of kleenex -- easily -- within a 6-8 hour period of time!!

Didn't know if this was an abnormal symptom or not.

Well, I don't get a runny nose, but I do get a lot of post-nasal drip down the back of my throat. Also, I usually experience a sharp pain and tightening in my throat (almost like when a cold virus is first lodging in your throat). All this followed by what I can only describe as a "diaper rash" :rolleyes: and then I KNOW I've been glutened.

Hi, Ive had this for so long i thought it was normal but recently discovered that it can be caused by yeast overgrowth in the ear/nose/throat passages.

For me i believe its related to having a candida issue which i cant get a scientific diagnosis for as its yet another doctor minefield in the UK, but its worth looking into.

I believe in america/ canada its easy to get this checked out.

Interestingly, the first symptoms of yeast overgrowth are gluten sensitivity, leading on to other food sensitivities, which is what happened to me. Ive just had my coeliac dignosis removed after 10 years as it turns out it wasnt that after all.

Im improving on a candida program now.

Hope that helps!

I have post nasal drip, very congested nose and watering eyes and sneezing. It seems like it went up since I am eating gluten free and I am suspecting dairy but I am also looking into candida overgrowth. Now, since I went gluten free, I have much more sugar in my diet and I crave sweet and fried food.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.

      Are you supplementing any vitamins?  Recently added medications? the ones that helped me the most noticibly was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine, B6 speeds up gastric motility, gastric motility, which is the movement of food through the stomach, is primarily achieved through peristalsis. Moving food faster helps bloating. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline  brain fog, fat digestion.  Since the recommended reduction in red meat and eggs, experts estimate that only 10% of the population eats the minimum RDA., 500 mg.  Choline is a large percentage of bile.  Many Celiacs are first diagnosed as Gall Bladder surgery candidates.  It works for a while, fut the the symptoms come back. Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Low fat yogurt.  My favorite brand is Stonyfield.  Pasture fed means an omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1.  Comercial dairies feed grains and have omega 6:3 ratio  of 5:1.  Omega 3 is healing, omega 6 is inflammatory. No fat yogurts, including greek style has various gums added to replicate the fatty mouth feel, and these gums like guar gum can have several side effects, especially if low vitamin B6 causes poor gastric emptying. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation. The American diet is fortified.  Gluten free foods are not.
