Feeling Great gluten-free But.....

I have been gluten-free for 2 months and feel better than I have in years! No more food hang overs, no more headaches, joint aches and bloating, etc. BUT I now have hay fever (running nose, itchy eyes and throat). Is this reaction at all related to Celiac recovery? Dont get me wrong, I would take hay fever over my previous issues any day but it seems a strange coincidence. Anyone else experience this side effect or completely random?

And thanks to all of you for all your help during my last two months!

you know, I was going to post about this also! I've been having allergy like symptoms much more lately since going gluten-free. I always get symptoms this time of year, but this is differant than usuaal...I almost thought I was getting a cold at first! itchy eyes, runny nose, itchy throat! normally I get sinus infections this time of year, but i guess I'd rather have this....

When I went gluten free, the nasal stuffiness I've had all my life went away and I've had no more sinus infections. So the diet IMPROVED my sinus problems.

I wouldn't think a" gluten free diet" could contribute to hay fever at all ----

After reading the variety of symptoms from glutens (and the result of going gluten-free), I guess I am not surprised some people clear up, others go the opposite.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
