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.

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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
