This is utterly embarassing, but has anyone else suffered from this as a symptom of a food allergy? I've been tested for celiac disease twice (blood test - both negative) because my 9yo daugter was diagnosed with it 4 years ago. I went to a colo-rectal surgeon because I thought he would be able to help me, but he told me I had this condition and that it was probably the most common thing that he diagnoses, yet I had never heard of it. Then I went to an allergist who did the skin prick test, but apparently I'm not allergic to anything - I cried. I was hoping he would have an answer for me and I could go home and avoid this or that and it would clear up. I'm so miserable - this has been going on for a long time and it's ruining my life. I'm doing an elimination diet, but funnily enough, I can eat potatoes, tomatoes and peppers, which kind of surprised me. I haven't seen anyone mention this before, maybe because of the nature of the condition (look it up - I'm not going to go into the gorey details). Is there anyone else out there who knows what I'm going through? :(

Yes, me. I had it from gluten. I kept thinking my kids had given me worms lol. Now I sometimes get a different version where.. um well it's like when I go to the toilet it feels like it's burning, and then later (I think because the irritation is healing) it itches. I am pretty sure that is a food reaction, but I don't know what to. I used to think casein but not so sure now.

Yes. I get it when I've been glutened.

Yes, I used to suffer from this horribly. I didn't know it had a name until now and I never associated it with celiac disease or gluten!! When I read this I realized that I haven't experienced this is at least a year or more! I used to deal with it every few days and it has faded away!!! Wow! Another thing to chalk up to going gluten-free/CF that I didn't realize had changed.

I had this for years and years. :(

It still bothered me even after I went gluten-free. However, it FINALLY cleared up when I went on an elimination diet and found I was allergic to tree-nuts and intolerant to corn. After removing these from my diet, the symptom cleared up.

I totally feel for your misery. I hope you feel better soon. Maybe you are intolerant to something else and can find what it is with an elimination diet? Is it constant? Have you kept a food diary?

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies. Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine. Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast...

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
