Possible Allergic Reaction

I have been gluten-free for over 1.5 years now (self diagnosed - blood work was negative) - adjusting nicely to the diet. My health was great for awhile, but then I started having symptoms again - mainly skin problems, depression, anxiety. If I try to stay strict on a no sugar/no carb diet, I feel ok. But today, I had half a sandwich (Udi's gluten-free bread) and some potato chips (all items strictly gluten-free). About 20-30 min later, my eyes are burning, I have a headache, my lips sting, and my head itches like crazy. This isn't the first time this has happened. Had some rice with dinner a week ago, same thing. Had a couple glasses of wine, same thing. I know I have a problem with Candida, but will that trigger the almost immediate reaction? After having a couple drinks watching the football game on Sunday, I realize it is the cause of my anxiety - I was a mess the whole day Monday. I am taking probiotics everyday along with antifungals and digestive enzymes. I know I need to be more strict with the carb/sugar intake for the Candida diet, but this is getting crazy. Meat and vegetables is easy for dinner - lunch is the hardest meal for me....oh and that crazy time after dinner when all you want is a snack - I've been surviving on cheese, but I only like the GOOD cheese, so it's getting expensive (and technically not supposed to have it on Candida diet anyway). Just wondering about the allergic type reaction.

Are you by chance allergic to yeast?

I was thinking it might be sulfites, or something similar. I can't eat Udi's nor most potato chips for that reason. Udi's due to the corn syrup; most processed corn as well as potato products are sulfited in the processing. As for the rice, the enriched rice has corn starch or something similar that many with sulfite sensitivities have to avoid. Not sure if you had white rice or not? I think I've been o.k. with rice, but I usually do a mix of brown and white rice. Wine also usually has added sulfites, in addition to the natural sulfites.

      Hi RMJ. I read your post. Sounds like you need a second opinion? Have you been advised by Dietitian or referred to one? There are protocols for treating patients that have ongoing celiac disease antibodies / histology. Particularly as you have nausea and pain. You probably already know about the gluten contamination elimination diet. It may be that you are super sensitive to even the allowed 20parts per million gluten in certified gluten free flours and products? An elimination of all grains for a time may be necessary? Especially oats if you currently include them? It’s worth noting that a minority of Celiacs have oat intolerance and T cell response similar to gluten (particularly carriers of high risk HLADQ2.5), and ongoing celiac damage to the gut can occur with oats. Even certified gluten free oats. If you are already super strict and careful about cross contamination, do you eat cheese or have any cow’s milk in your gluten free diet? It’s often overlooked, even by specialists and Celiac dietitians. But there are case study reports in children. There’s a study in adults showing mucosal reaction to casein in Celiacs, and quoted 50% of Celiacs react to casein similar to gliadin because of molecular mimicry. Then there was this letter to the editor following up a case that states, ”We conclude that given this novel information, pediatric, and possibly adult, celiac disease patients with suspected “refractory” celiac disease and no detectable gluten exposures, should be trialed on a combined CMP-GFD with close monitoring for disease activity resolution prior to consideration of more restrictive diets…” (Jericho H, Capone K, Verma R. Elimination of Cow’s Milk Protein and Gluten from the Diet Induces Gut Healing in “Refractory” Pediatric Celiac Patients. Ann Pediatr. 2021; 4(2): 1082.) CMP-GFD: cow’s milk protein-gluten free diet. Hope you figure it out.

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?
