Allergy Testing Done

Hi everyone!

I found out this morning that I am allergic to tomato, peanuts, almond, brazil nuts, and cantalope. I reacted to wheat and barely also. She was alittle surpprised. She said she doesn't see many celiacs that are also allergic to wheat and barely. She was well informed on what Celiac is and why my skin wouldn't react to the wheat because Celiac is an auto immune disease. Being Celiac and a wheat/barely allergy? Anyone else? How common? My back feels not so good. What do you all think of this?

It sounds like you had a skin test for food allergies. The problem with skin testing is we don't put food under our skin when we eat. We put it in our digestive systems and often use eating utensils so the food never touches our skin. Skin tests are fine for ruling out IgE antibody mediated allergens (immediate, anaphylactic rea tions) . However most food allergies are delayed reactions caused IgG or IgA mediated antibodies. So blood tests more accurately diagnosed most food allergies.

I get asthma and a runny nose when I'm glutened so I'm pretty sure I have a wheat allergy too. It's not common to have both but definitely possible.

My son is not diagnosed with celiacs but I strongly suspect but he has a positive delayed allergy.

Thanks, I know I have celiac, but will think about further blood testing. Thanks!

My sister got allergy tested and gluten/wheat/barley were on the list of things she was allergic to. She gets bad sinus infections when she eats too much of it. And vomits. I was wondering what this if anything has to do with celiac? especially since I have IBS and feel better when I stop glutenning myself?

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
