Streaming Nose

Ok, so still waiting on my GI doctor appt - next week. My GP put me on gluten free diet as i thought i had identified gluten as the cause of the diarrhoea and the fast worsening symptoms resulting in being awake all night crying in agony with the stomach pains and running to the loo (like food poisoning basically, except not!)

On the diet the diarrhoea totally stopped and the pain vanished along with the severe bloating. Good signs. After 3 weeks i started worrying i was wrong as i haven;t heard anything about my celiac panel results (which normally means your tests are negative) so i got careless and then started almost binging on gluten foods just now and then. Nothing happened. Now though the diarrhoes is back for 2 days running following a definite gluten load. Makes me think again.

However this is not my real question.....i've been suffering from a streaming nose - just clear mucous, constantly streaming. I hadn't realised that it'd completely gone until now, its back!! I haven't changed my lactose intake which i know can cause mucous problems but i just wondered if anyone else had experienced this?

Thanks

Can't really comment on the mucus issue.

However, your GI symptoms sound just like mine were. I've been on the diet 18 days now & my D & most of the other GI problems went away. I got my test results last Friday night, it was negative. With such a high false negative rate I said I wasn't going to let that stop me if I was feeling better but I started doubting myself. I was also not feeling very well & had no idea why. I finally realized I had cross contaminated myself. After that my resolve got stronger. If you ate gluten & started to have negative symptoms after 3 weeks of not having those being gluten free. I think you have your answer in that no matter what the tests say, you need to avoid gluten.

If I get glutened I sometimes wake up the next morning with sinus pain, sneezing, and often with a runny nose.

Gluten issues often come with food allergies as well. Gluten can cause a change in the permeability of your intestinal lining meaning your system gets exposed to more complex proteins than it normally would be, thus eliciting allergic responses.

i haven't figured out all my intolerances and all that jazz yet, and i know this might sound weird, but it seems to me that whenever i eat brown rice (from what i understand based on a very little bit of research, brown rice has fructose in it), i get Post Nasal Drip a few hours later.... and the days i don't eat any brown rice, i'm fine. (will be eliminating it, and the other fructans (actually, already taken most of them out of my diet as far as i know... just not the brown rice, yet- got in the habit of buying it long before i went gluten-free, as it's 'healthier' than white rice (but not if it gives me problems!) for a while after Thanksgiving)

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
