Itchy Itchy Hives!

My mom has been gluten free 2 months now since she had extremely high enterolab results.

Her main symptom was hives, shes had them for 17 years now(if that is even a symptom-she really didnt have many but since i have it she tested too) Now we've been gluten free both. I am dairy free too. She still gets hives though. She thought it was probably the wine, and three days without it no itchy hives at all. Today though we had corn/quinoa pasta with trader joes bruschetta. My mom accidently used the same spoon mixing my sister and dads real pasta and then went and mixed ours :huh: within a few minutes of finishing eating, she had a huge thing of hives on her arm. :( which is pretty obvious since she made the mistake. but she gets these hives so often even with being gluten free!

lately i have been getting headaches again more often. i think it may be from school and stuff though. I dont know, im frustrated.

Any advice?

Hives are an allergic reaction. This is different from the autoimmune celiac reaction to gluten. It is possible to have celiac disease and also be allergic to wheat (or something else).

Has she gone for regular allergy testing? Hives are a histamine reaction and if she is getting them that often, she really needs to be tested by an allergist. It can be stuff in the air and not food. She needs to know her triggers.

When I got allergy tested it turned out I had become allegic to my THREE dogs. :( I had been tested in the past and came up negative to dog but it developed over time. I also found out I was allergic to my neighbor's enormous house sized olive tree.

We have moved away from the olive tree (that's not why we moved) and my allergies are way better. Sadly two of my doggies went to heaven from very old age and I won't be able to replace them.

Aw, I am sorry! We have two dogs right now. I wonder if our many pets could be part of it. (1 duck, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and a guinea pig who just died a few months ago)

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
