    Very unlikely bananas contained gluten.

    Some people develop a reaction to bananas if they develop a reaction to latex. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/latex-allergy And... The latex-fruit syndrome https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12440950/

    Are you feeling better? Did your symptoms resolve?

    You may want to postpone getting any more gluten free flours until you have been checked by your doctor. If exposure to King Arthur gluten free flour has caused breathing problems, that could be a sign of allergic anaphylaxis which may get worse (life-threatening) upon repeat exposure. Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is an itchy skin rash. There are...

    @Estelle21, Welcome to the forum! Nutritional deficiencies can be the cause of your health problems. Thiamine deficiency can cause anorexia and eating disorders. A rash around the mouth and nose can be caused by deficiencies in zinc, Riboflavin B2, and B12. Changes in nails can be caused by deficiencies in iron, Vitamin D, and Biotin B7. Low...

    Some gluten free flours and baked products use Sulfites to bleach the gluten free flours to the nice "white bread" look we've grown accustomed to seeing with wheat flour. I've a Class IV Hypersensitivity to Sulfites, so I avoid products containing them. Einkorn wheat is the ancient breed of wheat. It is NOT safe for Celiac people, though those...

    @selectivefocus, Hi! Long rants are welcome here. We understand. Bananas... some people develop an allergy to Latex (rubber) and this spills over into bananas, bell peppers and cucumbers because of similar triggering proteins. "An increasing number of plant sources, such as avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, peach, tomato, potato and bell...

    @Martin VeganTrailRunr, Taking that supplement has probably masked any actual deficiencies you might have. Blood tests for vitamin and mineral deficiencies are not accurate. They can reflect what one has consumed and absorbed from food or supplements in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Blood tests do not accurately reflect how...

    @LCAnacortes, Vitamin D deficiency can cause tinnitus. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause tinnitus, too. Iron deficiency as in iron deficiency anemia can cause pulsating tinnitus. Zinc and magnesium can help relieve tinnitus, too. You're very welcome.

    Welcome, @LRFun, I found this study.... HLA DQ Gene Dosage and Risk and Severity of Celiac Disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2175211/ "Those with 2 copies of DQB1*02 would be much more likely to get celiac disease than those with a single copy, who in turn are much more likely to get it than someone without a copy....

    @Bob Land, Welcome to the forum! I take Thiamine Vitamin B 1, Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6, and Cobalamine Vitamin B12 for back pain. The combination really works. Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ I take 500 mg Thiamine, 50 mg Pyridoxine, and 1000 mcg B12. Hope...

    @su2099, Welcome to the forum! Replacing nutrients that you're not absorbing is beneficial while recovering from Celiac Disease. Be aware that vitamins are added to gluten based products to replace those destroyed in processing. Now that you are not getting those, you need to eat a nutritionally dense diet. To replace the vitamin stores...

    Xanthan gum can cause diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and can alter gut bacteria. Xanthan gum is produced by bacteria fed sugars from corn, wheat, soy or dairy, so if one is sensitive to those, Xanthan gum might not be a good choice. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xanthan-gum

    @StrongerThanCeliac, I'm thinking it might not be Listeria. You could have eaten something else along with the green beans that upset your system. What else did you eat? High histamine foods can cause problems. Nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant) can cause leaky gut and histamine problems. Do you keep a food...

    This CDC article says it can take two weeks... https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/symptoms.html "Symptoms of invasive illness usually start within 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria." I eat Kroger frozen green beans and have not had a reaction to them. Take some Thiamine. Thiamine has antibacterial properties and can help...

    Have you had a genetic test done to determine whether or not you have any Celiac genes?

    @Jean Carrithers, Hello! I'm sorry you are having such difficulties. Yes, I have had to deal with anxiety like you're talking about. Doctors frequently forget to treat the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that occur as a result of malabsorption in Celiac Disease. Difficulty absorbing nutrients due to damage to the small intestine from Celiac...

    @KatyV93, Could you possibly have a low level carbon monoxide leak at your home? Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause brain fog, headaches, nausea, digestive problems, skin rashes and paresthesia (pins and needles feeling). Perhaps a traveler's bug was caught prior to your return home. A low level carbon monoxide leak won't be picked up by CO...

    @StrongerThanCeliac, Perhaps wearing a Covid type mask to keep out tiny particles? Up your intake of B Complex vitamins. B vitamins help you deal with stressors.

    @NFecht24, Urinary incontinence occurs in Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency. Antibiotics are known to cause Thiamine deficiency. Since you have cut down on gluten, you have cut down on a source of Thiamine. Supplementing with Thiamine and the other B vitamins would be beneficial for both you and your son. My urinary incontinence after...

    @newtonfree, I'm glad you found a way to make peanuts edible. Boiled peanuts in the shell are a big favorite in the Southeastern part of the U.S. Boiled peanuts in the can are available. I just don't like peanuts. DH is pressure sensitive. I have gotten DH blisters on the palms of my hands from pushing a grocery cart around. I get DH underneath...
