Hi everyone. My first post and excited to have found this forum. I've been fighting with allergies of all sorts for a while now and hoping I'm on the right path. I have allergies to food dyes and a lot of additives; MSG being the worst (migraine and rashes). I also have odd reactions to dairy - not the typical lactose intolerant - mainly bloating and belching, increased heart rate and sinus issues. I eat a vegan diet now but if I misread a label and have dairy, I can tell. I also have terrible year round allergies.

About three weeks ago I started having odd eye issues and saw a neuro-opthamologist who thought my symptoms were sinus related. They were - a really bad sinus/ear infection in both ears, etc. I was on huge doses of antibiotics which cleared things up a lot but I'm still fighting allergy type symptoms. I've also been sick with a head cold and still not over it. I'm ADD and struggle with constant focus issues. Sometimes, when my allergies flare up a lot, I ache all over because of the inflammation. So...my doctor has suggested elimating gluten for a period and see if my allergies/sinues/immune system get better. She doesn't think she can get the insurance to buy off on testing based on my symptoms (no digestive issues) but because of the dairy issue, she feels there may be a link. I should mention that overall, I'm healthy.

I'm excited to see if this helps. Finding alternatives has been a bit challenging since I don't eat meat but it hasn't been too crazy. Any advice you all have is greatly appreciated!

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      In the U.S. endoscopies are typically done under light sedation. You wouldn't even be aware of what's going on or remember it.

      Thank you both so much,for the helpful advice on this topic & I am happy that it's not in my head,on my body telling me that something is up with my symptoms & needs a doctor's input on. I have a strong feeling in my gut,that my symptoms are either related to a gluten sensitivity,or even Celiac Disease itself. I am keeping a detailed track of my symptoms,& what foods I ate that triggered them to happen, because I know this will help me to better answer my doctor's questions on my symptoms. I am gonna ask for the blood test,& I am a little nervous lol about maybe having to get the Endoscopy but honestly if the blood test & Endoscopy helps diagnose whatever issues going on with my digestive system & the rest of my body,& why I haven't felt good in what feels like forever,then I will gladly get whatever diagnostic procedure needed. I will keep everyone updated on the doctor appointment & if there ends up being a diagnosis😊

      Yes, IMO, you need to quit and look for another job. You can't put a price on your health. It's unfortunate that your parents don't understand but they don't have to live with the ravages of unattended celiac disease. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and just be willing to live with the fact that some people will not understand. I don't know your age but that's being an adult and taking ownership of your life.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      Oh I definitely am doing that!  I'm having a "last hurrah" leading up to the endoscopy and I am making sure to eat as much gluten as I can now.  I will say I am BLOATED but I've been this way for so many years, it's kind of my norm.  Just a couple more weeks until I have answers though, I hope!
