I am not sure why this happened but the other day I ate some gluten free chicken salad that had a little bit of spice to it. As i was eating it, my scalp and the back of my neck started to burn and I felt this weird sensation like pins and needles. Then today i ate some eggs that I made-and I had a smiliar sensation but not half as bad. Anyone else experience this or know what might be causing it??

Any chance you are taking any kind of cold medicine? I've had pins and needles in my head from cold medicine. I think it was sudafed. It was a long time ago.

I had that feeling at times when I was eating chicken a while ago (am otherwise a vegetarian). I tested negative to skin prick allergy for it, but each time I ate it the sensations got worse. I also has the big D and swelling of the lips that got worse each time I ate it, and I got some throat tightness the last time, so I gave up.

I also had a lesser but noticable reaction to eggs, lip tingling primarily but also face flushing and skin sensations.

At the time I considered that it might be due to chemicals in the chicken, but even organic chicken made me react. If you are reacting to chicken and eggs in a weird way I would consider an intolerance or mild allergy.

Interesting...thanks for your replies. I am thinking since I have leaky gut syndrome that maybe I am developing other food allergies as well. The gluten free chicken salad I purchased was from a restaraunt so most likely it wasn't organic-normally I don't eat much meat and when I do I only eat organic which doesn't seem to bother me. I have been eating a lot more eggs lately as I was told to up my protein intake. Maybe I need to do a rotation diet? The doctor also just told me I have malabsorption issues so that is probably adding to it.

I have not been taking any cold medicine have only just started an isotonic vitamin, but that doesn't seem to be bothering me.

You may have an allergy to eggs. The mayonnaise in the chicken salad is made from eggs. I would definitely check this out with an allergist asap and avoid eating anything made from eggs until You do so. This sounds like the beginning of a bad reaction to an allergen.

I forgot about the mayonnaise having eggs...I am definitly going to stay away from them until I get tested. I visit the doctor next week-so I will be asking him. Thanks!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      Chances of being coeliac

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
