Allergies Since Going Gluten Free?!

hi... im not sure how to present this question, but have any of you noticed that since you've gone gluten free, you now are having food allergies that you never had before???? im so confused, i thought i had things figured out. ??

i am one of those people who, while i had a sensitive digestive system, i NEVER had allergies, ever. i broke out in hot hives ONCE when i was 7 or 8... my mom's best guess was that i reacted to Penicillin. ???

then a few months ago (after going 100% gluten free, and before adding any thyroid medication)- i had a SEVERE reaction to a frozen dinner - and my best guess from narrowing down the other items was that i reacted to High Maltose Corn Syrup. my stomach throbbed, and i broke out in hives, and also got a few more DH blisters. so i assumed that my body THOUGHT HMCS is gluten.

then around thanksgiving, had similar reaction to a butternut squash dish from whole foods (still NO gluten)... and it was not the fructose side effects i get- it was allergic/hot/hives.

couple of weeks ago, i hived again - from Raw Carrots ????!!!!!! (what the H????)

and today, during lunch at work, i had a hard boiled egg & some raw zuchinni (never bothered me before)- and once again- HOT HIVES & throbbing stomach...

what the hell is going on????

has anyone else experienced hyper allergic reactions after going gluten free?? its just so strange, and frankly annoying

I didn't have allergic reactions, per se, but had many intolerances that gradually resolved. I had brain fog, digestive issues from: corn, rice, beans, cruciferous veggies, dairy, nuts, seeds, and lots more. Maybe try an elimination diet and keep a food journal to figure it out. Start by eliminating the top 8 allergens from your diet. Feel better soon!

I am trying to figure out my other food allergies as well, and it IS frustrating! I am off gluten, dairy, corn and eggs. A little soy creeps in now and then, mostly by accident, because soy is in everything. I don't get hives, but very bad brain fog and waves of exhaustion wash over me.

Last night I had turkey sausage, potatoes and onions cooked in olive oil. About thirty minutes later, I had the brain fog and tiredness. Can't figure it out either!

I have tried, but I am not one of those people who can just eat a few things for weeks at a time to figure out what is bothering me. I am thinking of doing the IgG allergy testing (ELISA) that many people say has helped them. Not sure though, because I have also heard that the blood allergy testing is not reliable.

I hope you figure out what is causing your hives! It is not something topical is it? Or something in the air? Just guessing.

its definitely food allergies- in the above incidences- the reactions started shortly after eating them- and it starts with my my stomach actually throbbing... then it gets kind of hot- then i know the HOT HIVES will be creeping up my neck and face and forearms :( it's very strange, cause like i said- i never had food allergies before. and its the evening and let me tell u- my right forearm looks like it's about to erupt into DH

now food intolerances- ive got innumerous ones... completely different from the hive thing.... i will not even exhaust all of u guys with my list of that

i was just curious, because i never had these reactions before going gluten free... im wondering if now my body has become hypersensitve??? :huh:

DH is Dermatitis Herpetiformis, the skin rash manifestation of celiac disease.

A year after being paranoid about being gluten-free, I still was not feeling better. So, despite my primary care doctor and my gastroenterologist thinking allergy testing would be useless, I went ahead anyway, just to see.

It came up with "2" on beef, chicken, eggs (whites & yolks), bananas, carrots, corn and a "3" on milk. Eliminating those, I'm doing a lot better, and I surprised both of the other doctors. :) I have gastroparesis on top of it all, so that's what I'm dealing with right now.

It came as a surprise to me, too.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/
