Thanks for that it is really helpful. I feel my story is similar to Welda's as despite advances I have been unable to get medical diagnosis and found out much of my problems myself. My asthma and rhinitus started when I was 16 or at least were diagnosed then, but I had lots of health problems as a child too. I have found a few helpful health professionals...

I wanted to post in case any one else has similar symptoms. I have facial swellings which have improved slowly with a low gluten and then coeliac diet. After finding about iodine and DH on this website I stopped using my sea water nose spray and after this the swellings cleared up completely. I am now 90% sure they are an unusual variation or pehaps...

Is it common practice to get genetic tests done in the US. It is not ever offered in the UK?

Yes I spent some time considering Lupus. I have had the ANA test and it was negative. I am not sensitive to the sun. I have had the rash about 9 years and there has been no sign of organ damage. The rash does seem to be responding to a coeliac diet but when I just went very low gluten (everything except for traces) the rash continued. I definitely...

I went onto a completely coeliac diet (I have not managed to get a diagnosis but it definitely helps) in April and have only had one accident with gluten since. I have now had 4 incidents of night sweats and aching legs. I didnt think much of it until the fourth one as there are lots of viruses around but now I am wondering if it is hormonal and as I am...

sorry I have posted twice may take me awhile to get the hang of this. Meant to say have asthma and rhinitus but also many other sensitivites and intolerences.

I have just found this site as I was searching for sites discussing links between celiac and asthma/rhinitus. I have had symptoms of celiac and DH for about 9 years and have found out mainly through my own work and despite a negative celiac biopsy (my dietician said she thought it a false negative as only ate gluten 2 weeks before, they took biopsy from...
