And Yet Another Symptom

Before diagnosis gluten was causing me to have constant sinus infections, allergy symptosm even though I only had 2 mild allergies, and asthma troubles.

So I got glutened on Friday and have still been recovering. I just started going out salsa dancing on Tuesday nights recently and I still felt a little under the weather but decided to go.

Well as soon as I hit the dance floor with a guy, my asthma starts acting up. Salsa has lots of spinning and I've been doing it for 12 years so the guys like to go a little nuts spinning me around. I started getting so short of breath I got really dizzy and had to stop in the middle of the dance.

I had to tell him the truth because he's somebody I dance with regularly and I don't want to offend him. He's an amazing dancer. Of course he was so sweet, led me off the floor and made sure I was okay, but it was so embarrassing and frustrating.

I know it's from that awful glutening because my asthma has been directly related to gluten for years. The only time it flares up now is if I get glutened and this last one was very bad.

It was quite a shock to me that my asthma was part of the celiac picture but I guess it is not surprising since it seems to have something to do with inflammation. Sorry this happened to you. Salsa dancing is sooo much fun. I did it quite a bit prediagnosis but stopped when I kept falling over. LOL

After I had been gluten free for a while the asthma stopped showing up when I get glutened I hope that happens for you also.

I have had Asthma really bad all of my life. I couldn't run around as much as other kids, never ran the mile in gym class (I always had to walk it). Now at the age 30 I gave up gluten and dairy and it's gone. I realized it was gone when I found myself walking to the store one day in a hurry and I realized I usually would not be able to walk that fast without using my inhaler, but I was speed walking and I had no problems breathing at all! I try to may start running soon, I'm so happy to be able to to breath! Until your post I had attributed it to dairy, however. When I was a toddler I would cough and have trouble breathing when my mom gave me milk or cheese. The doctor told her to cut back on the dairy in my diet, She did limit it but she never completely cut it out for me. The doctor said I would "outgrow" the dairy intolerance, so my mom didn't see the need to be strict about it. And I didn't find out I had problems with dairy as a child until I asked my mom about it a few months ago. Now that I think about it though gluten may contribute to my asthma as well.

Ooh a fellow salsa lover! Cool!

I hope it stops being triggered when I get glutened. It is amazing how many symptoms are caused by celiac.

It is amazing how many systems are effected. Many more than I thought when first diagnosed. I was just happy to have tummy issues stop but was amazed when other stuff slowly resolved also. It felt like a rebirth in many ways.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
