Do You Guys Get Your Gluten Symptoms For Other Intolerances, Or Different Symptoms?

I'm wondering if those of you with other intolerances tend to get the same symptoms you get from gluten, or if you have a whole different set of symptoms for other things.

I have lately had a lot of canker sores (I have 4 right now) and I don't usually get those without it being food-related. I've been having mild stomach issues similar to my gluten ones, but on a much smaller scale. I'm not incapacitated like I would be if I was eating regular gluten food or anything, but I am uncomfortable. I do live in a mixed house (like with my partner's family so it's out of the question to ask everyone to change) but I am extremely careful. So it's possible I'm having CC, but I also wonder if maybe it's another intolerance. I've been gluten-free for almost a year now and I know it's common for new ones to show up 6-12 months after diagnosis and diet change.

I started a food diary this past week to log my symptoms along with whatever I ate. I guess if it's another intolerance that will help me figure it out. But if it's just CC from cookie sheets/pans (I don't have my own), crumbs, etc. then I won't know from that. If it is CC, I'm almost totally sure it's not from a product but rather from sharing the pots and pans, getting gluten crumbs near my food, and perhaps things like eating rice someone else has made, in which they used butter from the non-gluten-free butter dish.

I will get glutened symptoms from high fructose.

Corn is the only intolerance that gives me gluten-type symptoms. The others are always rashes, hives, mostly skin-type things.

I haven't been doing this long enough to be certain, but strong salicylates (food preservatives, colors) give me "acid flashback" reactions, as well as my DH popping up. Then again, how can I be certain I didn't get glutened, too??

It's tough to figure out.

Soy makes me fatigued and brain foggy in a similar way that gluten does but it doesn't give me any stomach issues or other neurological issues that I get with gluten so that is how I tell the difference.

I think that I get different seeming symptoms from low level cc than I do from higher level cc. If I continue with that low level cc for longer, days or weeks, they symptoms develop into the high level cc ones.

I am also intolerant to oats and I can't tell my oat intolerance from my wheat intolerance, from the barley or rye one. Of course I don't know what is contaminated with what so how would I know?

Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat - still trying to figure it all out. I'M not even sure I HAVE symptoms from gluten yet. I know that corn, and now almonds, make my psoriasis kick up. I know corn gives me insomnia. And although I didn't have much for digestive symptoms before starting the diet, SOMETHING is now bothering me that way too. It's going to take time, maybe a year or two, but I WILL get to the bottom of this. I WILL find a way to stay healthy. At this point, I really don't care WHAT I eat, as long as I don't go hungry. If they told me living on nothing but cardboard will heal what's wrong with me, I'd be happy to eat cardboard for the rest of my life.

Hmm. Yeah, it sounds like many of us are in the same boat as me, or were and still don't have everything figured out. Thanks for sharing though, everyone. :)

My reaction is pretty much the same from everything on the "gotta avoid it" list. For me that includes gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, yeast, several spices, and turkey, and other things to a lesser extent. Even a hint of those things and it's a must to be close to a bathroom for several painful hours. So, it's not easy, but it's a must to be ever vigilant. Do you have GERD or other stomach acid issues? Those can cause canker sores, as can hormone imbalances. It does sound, though, like you have real CC problems.

My reaction to fructose is totally different than my reaction to gluten.

My noticable reactions to gluten are minor... my reactions to fructose are more noticeable, and more immedate (hours, where as my one main gluten reaction-- cold sores-- usually takes 1-4 days to appear)

I get the same reaction from gluten free oats as I do gluten. I do believe it caused the gastritis and ulcer I had last year. I react to gluten free oat contamination in products also. I'm with dilettantsteph, I have slightly different reactions to low CC over time than if I overtly get a big dose of gluten all at once. Eventually the low level CC will add up and feel like a big gluten reaction.

Same boat here too! I need to post my numbers for my known food intolerances. I DO suspect tha I have others but havent been able to distinguish between them yet. It will be a long road. Does anyone else recommend igG testing to help identify food intolerances?

My daughter had very bad canker sores, so bad, in fact, that her physician finally sent her to Mayo Clinic for a diagnosis. They were caused by iron mal-absorption. She has great difficulty getting her levels up. Her celiac panel was negative at that time--she should probably be retested.

Since iron mal-absorption is another celiac symptom, it may improve as you heal. However, I would get tested and add a supplement if needed.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me. Soon after diagnosis I suffered...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,
