New Allergies?

[Courtneyk59]

I will be celebrating my 1 yr anniversary of being gluten free and my celiac diagnosis. I have recently noticed that I am having more and more symptoms similar to being glutenized. Except I am having them all the time. Sever bloating, horrible gas, tummy trouble, exhaustion etc. except I can't pinpoint it to any one thing. It's been creeping up on me for a while, but I just realized how bad it's gotten, when every day I'm going to bed by 9pm. If it is another food allergy/sensitivity - where do I start to look? Should I eliminate dairy? Or soy? Or sugar? Or corn? Is it weird to have this happen after almost a yr gluten free? I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but no idea what it could be. I'm pretty sure everything I'm eating is gluten-free.

Hi Courtney,

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, hon, but I do see many people report this same thing often.

It could be gut flora imbalance (do you take probiotics?) or the most common additional intolerance: dairy.

I'm just suggesting something here: take out dairy first, see if it helps?

If you continue to have gastro issues, perhaps you should see your GI doc.

Sometimes, people have concurrent issues with celiac and they are easily treatable, if discovered by testing.

Also, some follow up lab work might be a good idea. Just some suggestions.

Hi, I had a lot of issues like you after being gluten-free for about a year and they ended up being due to a soy intolerance. I agree with IrishHeart to eliminate dairy first, though, because it anecdotally seems to be the most common intolerance in celiacs. If not dairy, then consider soy and so on...Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! We need to remember that this is a lifelong autoimmune disease that we have.

I have been gluten free for 4 years now and I am now noticing severe reactions to dairy. :-(
