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)

      Manitol and mri

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Toothpaste question.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune r...

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.
