Hives After Eating Noodles... Help

So on Monday I had homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch and in the middle of eating it I broke out in hives all over my chest and face. No other problems and it went away within about and hour or two. Tuesday I decide to eat exactly as I had on Monday and sure enough in the middle of eating the hives came back and again went away within an hour or two. Today I ate Ramon Noodles for lunch and broke out in hives again.

So now some background. I have a appointment to have an endoscopy done next thursday as I have had a suspicion of gluten intolerance for quite some time. Being back on gluten for the last how many months has been awful, but I just feel I need to know and even if the endoscopy comes back negative I am still going back to eating gluten free.

So my question is - could I be allergic to something in the noodles? It's weird is I had a piece of whole wheat bread this morning with peanut butter for breakfast and didn't break out, but all 3 days I had white noodles in my soups so I'm thinking it had something to do with that. I don't know I'm confused. Maybe I just get different symptoms from different things? I know when I drink beer I just get a really bad headache even if it's just one beer.

Anyone else have issues with hives and gluten intolerance?

Was the soup homemade or did it have preservatives and MSG and junk in it?

My guess is that the soup also contained iodized salt. Between the gluten in the noodles and the iodine in the salt, you experienced Dermatitis Herpetiformis, which many of us with celiac have. People with this condition usually have to ingest BOTH gluten and iodine to have a skin reaction. Since you indicated that you once ate gluten free but have only returned to eating gluten for an endoscopy, you may have become more sensitive, and that's why the dermatitis is appearing. Only people with celiac have Dermatitis Herpetiformis; therefore, I would guess that you probably have celiac.

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that...

      Brain fog

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello, I was newly diagnosed in January of this year (2025). Since then I have been strict about staying gluten free and only cooking at home. I started feeling better in July while gradually resuming close to my normal routine of activities and athletics. September and October were extremely stressful due to a new home build being finished and moving...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While the positive endoscopy confirms the diagnosis, it's important to be skeptical of the idea that your daughter will simply "bounce back" to a pre-challenge state. The gluten challenge was essentially a controlled, prolonged exposure that likely caused significant inflammation and damage to her system; it's not surprising that recovery is slow and that a subsequent exposure hit her so hard. The persistent fatigue is a major red flag that her body is still struggling, potentially indicating that the initial damage hasn't fully healed or that her system is now in a heightened state of reactivity. Rather than seeking anecdotal timelines from others, her experience underscores the critical need for close follow-up with her gastroenterologist to rule out other nutrient deficiencies commonly caused by celiac flare-ups, like iron or B12, and to consult with a dietitian to scrutinize her diet for any hidden sources of cross-contamination that could be perpetuating her symptoms. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Brain fog, like other celiac disease symptoms, does improve after you to 100% gluten-free, and supplementation will also help.

      Hello, I was newly diagnosed in January of this year (2025).  Since then I have been strict about staying gluten free and only cooking at home.  I started feeling better in July while gradually resuming close to my normal routine of activities and athletics. September and October were extremely stressful due to a new home build being finished and moving.  My spouse and I take care of his mom who has advanced dementia and have been since 2021.  We did all the moving as well as get the other house on the market for the month of October.  Since earlier this month I feel like I did back in the early stages of my diagnosis.  Almost all of my symptoms have come back except for the bad abdominal issues.  I haven’t changed my diet or supplements since January and wonder if the stress has caused a set back? Any thoughts are helpful.  Thanks
