Soft Palate/Palatoglossal Pain/Redness

Hi! 
 

I was just diagnosed with Celiac after having a variety of symptoms, mostly throat/mouth issues. Since I was just diagnosed I haven’t yet started a gluten free diet. Has anyone else with Celiac had pain/redness of the soft palate and back of the mouth (palatoglossal arch) as a result of eating gluten? I also have a lot of mucus draining down the back of my throat throughout the day, I’ve been burping a lot the past few months, and my throat gets extremely dry at night. I’m curious to see if these issues start to go away when I go gluten free. Any advice is appreciated!

I had very serious sinus drainage/clogged up issues for most of my youth, until I was diagnosed with celiac disease and went gluten-free. In fact I took both food and pollen allergy shots for many years to try to deal with it. Sore throats and the symptoms you described were quite common for me.

The good news in my case is that this did go away after a year or two being gluten-free, and I've never really had this issue since...and so I've "graduated" into being a nose breather!

Welcome to the forum, Emily.

How were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

The problems you describe with you throat, mouth and sinuses sound like they could be related to acid reflux. Reflux can get all the way up into your sinuses and cause irritation/inflammation and also frequent sinus infections. This can happen particularly at night when you are laying for hours in a horizontal position.

Thanks!

My TTg IGA was 100, TTg IGG was 29, Deamidated Gliadin IGA was 60, and Deamidated Gliadin IGG was 68 - all strong positives according to my doctor. I have an endoscopy scheduled as well.

That is so interesting! I’m glad you’re doing better now! Thanks for sharing!

You might also consider making an appointment with an ENT to get those nasal passages and sinuses scoped out.

I recently saw one 😊 They did a laryngoscopy and said things looked pretty good, but that I had signs of laryngopharyngeal reflux. My PCP that did the blood work for celiac said since I’ve been eating gluten that may be causing the reflux issues.

Yes, there is a significant correlation between celiac disease and reflux.

My mouth has also been itchy. Particularly in the back.

I would guess that in addition to celiac disease, Emily, you have some significant food and/or environmental allergies going on.

Happens to me every year when the heating season is on. It can actually be allergy to something in your environment - mucus drainage down the throat is typical and it can irritate the back of your mouth as well. Get a good ENT check up and maybe start popping some antihistamines.

      Popcorn pain

      By JenFur · Posted

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
