Increased Sensitivity To Gluten After Going Gluten Free?

Hi, all. I'm just wondering if anyone has found that they are more sensitive to gluten and/or to other food allergens since going gluten free? Have you developed or discovered other food allegies after going gluten free?

I seem to be much more sensitive now, after 15 months of gluten-free living. I wonder about other foods, but haven't had the courage to test the hypothesis. "Just" being gluten free is enough of a challenge. I don't know how others who have multiple food allergies manage that challenge!

Thank you for any insight you can offer.

Oh yes, that can happen. I became more sensitive to smaller amounts of gluten as time went on--I'm just short of 5 years gluten-free. I also discovered that I was sensitive to other foods a few months after going on the diet. I'm still intolerant to legumes, tapioca, coconut, and soy--but have recently been able to successfully add dairy and corn back.

I think you'll find quite a lot of people in the forums who are not only gluten intolerant/Celiac, but also have a few other food intolerances.

I don't tolerate sugars well at all, and just the smell of corn makes me nauseous. I haven't tried to actually eat it though to find out if it's just my nose or a real intolerance! I can live quite happily without it, so I see no reason to chance it.

This happened to me. The only other food intolerance I noticed was to oats. Other things I could have in their whole form, but not if they were processed into flours or whatever. It seemed like it was tiny amounts of cc. It made it really difficult to figure out a diet, but I seem to be almost there now.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
