I've been trying to do some research on the net about this, since I've had asthma since I was two. But I seem to get a lot of conflicting information, and no one seems to say definitively one way or another.

So does anyone here know? I figure here is a good place to ask. ;)

Is asthma an autoimmune disease or something else?

I don't think so. However it can be caused by inflammation. Celiac can cause severe extensive inflammation. There are a few of us on the board that have gotten relief from asthma gluten-free. Including me.

Asthma is a 2 step process whereby the muscles surrounding the airways constrict and then the inside of the airways get inflammation. I've already lost my exercise induced asthma after going gluten free.

Or perhaps the other way around. The airways get inflamed and then they constrict.

It is nice to breathe free again isn't it? I can even go out in the cold now without having a coughing fit.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
