Tonsils Got Smaller

My whole life I have had rather large tonsils....it was debated to have them removed. Everytime i went to the dentist he would ask me if I was sick.

Well, I've been gluten-free for a few months. I looked down my throat the other day and was suprised to see they are almost not even visible!!!! one is still a little larger than the other, but nothing like on gluten. I'm amazed :) which would also explain why it is is easier for me to sing now!

Has anyone related? is it something to do with the antibodies?......kinda like the tonsils swell when fighting off infection, so it would make sense for them to swell if the body is fighting off an intruder (gluten)

Yes. It must be nice to hear your full voice unmuffled by tonsil tissue. :lol:

My daughter's throat was always irritated and swolen prior to diagnosis. The doctor would just look in there and say it looked like allergies and give her a nasal drip spray to use (because we'd usually take her in to be seen for her perpetually clogged sinuses).

Voila. When she was diagnosed with Celiac the sinus problems and throat irritation (and dark circles under her eyes) cleared up. :D

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      The only vegetable sources of B12 are some fermented bean products using a certain microbiotic culture. It is next to impossible to get adequate B12 from vegetable sources without supplementation. Same with D3. Some mushrooms can make D3 when exposed to UV light. Are you vegetarian or vegan? Do you do dairy and eggs or no animal products at all? Low B12 and D3 could definitely cause or contribute to many of the symptoms you have been experiencing but would not cause celiac disease. It is more likely the other way around, especially if you are a vegetarian eating no animal products. Many of your symptoms seem neurological in nature. The B vitamin complex and D3 is vital to neurological health. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9820561/

      Russ, can you link an article supporting your assertion that small amounts of gliadin are detectable in human breast milk? Not doubting you but it would be nice to have the whole text for reference.

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.
