Throat symptoms, how do they test for gluten issues

I have had weird throat symptoms for almost a year. It feels like something in my throat. I had an ENT look and she said there is slight swelling on the left side but nothing severe. I had a CT scan done as well. Last night I had a chicken burger made at home and today the feeling in my throat is much worse and it's making my ear feel blocked. I am starting to wonder if it's a gluten intolerance. I am soy and lactose intolerant already. I have suffered from GERD for many years as well. I had my gallbladder out last year just after these symptoms started. I was hoping all my problems would be gone after that but it hasn't helped. Oh and I have IBS. Ugh. 

Stress and anxiety make it come on as well I believe. Reading other posts gluten can cause anxiety!! 

What tests will my Dr send me for??

Any doctor can run a celiac blood panel.  Here are the tests:

You do sound like you could have celiac disease, but  could have concurrent issues as well.  Check out EOE as well.  It is allergy-related.

I am not a doctor — just a lady on the Internet. ?

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
