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.

I get nasal problems too.I have a keane (split/tear in the skin) on my nostril and a sore inside of my nose and it drips constantly,it will be interesting to see if this goes away when i become gluten free...hmm?

I notice at night before going gluten free I use to get a really bad stuff nose, most recently I had a runny nose and think I may have been gluten from Puffin ceral....

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.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
