Many Allergies?! Celiac? Candida? Leaky Gut?

My husband took gluten out of his diet in Jan. for 2 weeks he felt better than ever.ever since- for the past few months, the slightest amout of gluten can cause him issues for days. even cross contamination. Instant mood swings, cannot reason or think, brain fog, feels like he is floating, numb lips and tongue ( just by being in a bakery). stomach gurggling, head pounding- then feeling hungover and depressed the next day. Does this sound like Celiac or an allergy? Also- since going off gluten, he now reacts to tomatoes, cinnamon, dairy, shellfish, and eggs. some the same way ( with lips and tongue getting numb) and some just make him a little gassy. we cannot get tested for celiac since he has been off gluten for a while now. and he never wants to touch it again. it just seems like every week some new allergy is coming up. we already took out sugar, dyes, perservatives, gmos, msg, and  high fructose corn syrup along with all of those allergy foods mentioned. He takes pro biotics and digestive enzymes when he eats and is seeing a chiropractor 2x a week.. but the slightest thing can make him miserable for days. also- found out that our 4 kids have intolerance to gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, citrus, and shellfish. Does this sound genetic or  like leaky gut or Candida??? I have no issues though..Help please

Sounds like celiac. Note that celiacs have leaky guts too.

 

Make sure that your house and all your ingredients are gluten free. Eg: the cinnamon you have may have traces of gluten from manufacturing or from your own house.

Eggs and shellfish sound like regular allergies, but try washing your eggs well before cracking, and washing hands well after touching the carton too.

      I am not a medically qualified person, but I think in your shoes I would do the same.     If you are in the UK, there are some really good gluten-free aisles now.  The largest range near where I live, currently, appears to be in Tesco's.

      @cristiana I’ve got an appointment with the midwife next week so will speak to her then. Waiting for gp to get back to me. I’ve made the decision today to cut gluten out regardless due to the risks I’ve read about

      Hi Katie I am so sorry you had two miscarriages in the past.  Try not to worry, though, because it could be that they were unrelated, perhaps? Well done for contacting your GP.  Is it possible that you can speak to your midwife in the meantime for a chat?    Cristiana

      @cristiana hi!  the things I’ve read online about having untreated coeliac disease whilst pregnant has really scared me and made me very hesitant to continue eating it. I feel like the best option might be to eliminate gluten from my diet now and then continue with testing after I’ve given birth. I’ve got in touch with my gp and am due to get a phone call back on Monday. Really worried now as I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past

      @Katiec123 Welcome to the forum. I started to have symptoms related to coeliac disease (mouth ulcers, aura migraines etc) but no gastric symptoms during my first pregnancy.  That went to term, in fact, I was 10 days over and had to be induced.  But my second baby, born 21 months later, arrived at 33 weeks.  He's now doing well, and taller than all of us - it was just an earlier than expected arrival! I agree, it would not be wise to eat gluten  if there is any suspicion that you have coeliac disease during a pregnancy.   It would of course be good to know for sure, one way or another, because I believe coeliacs receive extra monitoring during pregnancy in many countries.   I think it may be well worth asking your GP if you can be referred to a gastroenterologist for a formal diagnosis asap.   By the way you spell 'coeliac' I'm guessing you are posting from the UK?  If that is the case, the NHS may rush things along for you, I suspect they will.  If it appears that they cannot refer you urgently, if you have the money for a private consultation it might be well worth it, as there is a trend here in the UK (I'm British) to diagnose coeliacs without the need for an endoscopy if the blood test results are compelling. Sounds like this is the case for you.  If you can see a gastroenterologist privately s/he might be able to diagnose you there and then (make sure you take a printout of your blood tests). Generally, there is a lot of support for coeliacs through the NHS, with a nutritionist, annual reviews and blood tests to check for diet compliance and health related issues, DEXA scans to check bone density, extra vaccinations where indicated and in some areas, certain gluten free food available on prescription.  So for lots of reasons, if you can get a diagnosis it's worth it. I hope all goes well with your appointment, let us know how you get on.
