Help I Have No Idea What's Causing Symtoms

I have been wheat/ gluten-free for 7 years. I also have IGA deficiecy, asthma,diabetes and interstial cystitis.

Over the past 2-3 weeks my Gi celiac symtoms have been kicking in something fierce and the only things that have changed are some meds.

Diabetes meds- now on 1500mg Glucapgage XR

Asthma meds now on Singulair 10 mg

Anyone else ever had problems with these meds???

Thanks Terry in Dumont NJ :unsure:

Have you checked the gluten free status on both meds?

Could also just be your body adjusting to the change in medications, and not necessarily a gluten reaction. Have you talked with your doctor?

The Singular makes me sick but I don't know what kind of starch is in it...for me, too corn bothers me. Look for it on the Web and look for inactive ingredients.

I don't take any medications but I looked Singular up and saw it on the gluten free list. Could you possibly have another intolerance with something else that could be in it? You may want to double check with the company to see if the status of it changed.

Yes the doctors think that my body has to get use to the new meds. But after 7 years + with fairly excellant dietary control of the celiac....... the symptoms are not all that nice to have., I don't think I will ever get use to them.

Thanks Terry

      Are you using the same mixer that you used for your gluten containing baking? That could be your culprit.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits
