Other Allergies And Celiac

It has been horrible for allergies in Chicago this summer. I've been gluten free for a year as of Friday! But although not have any gluten for sure...I've been having horrible GI problems as if I have been glutenized. So bad that I'm curled up in a ball. Benedryl seems to help aliviate some of the pain. My sister has the same thing at the same time.

Anyone else have this? Is this normal and does it ever go away!?

Sounds like something else is causing you gastro distress. Have you cut out other foods besides gluten? Or are you getting sneaky gluten like through a new medication or remodeling you are exposed to? There are many ways you have symptoms. Give a little more info.

I'm sorry you're feeling so sick. You mentioned allergies. Are you susceptable to sinus infections? My daughter and husband are. When they have a sinus infection brewing, the drainage to their stomach can make them queasy. As it worsens, it's really sickening to their stomachs. They don't usually feel different in their sinuses just their stomach. A dr could check your sinuses for infection.

Make sure all your other products are also gluten-free - such as all your medications, your toothpaste, lipstick and other cosmetics, even vitamins. Anti-inflammatories help but make sure it is gluten-free. Good luck

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you for your response. It has some good information for me to investigate further. In answer to your question about Vit D, yes, and it was normal. I am having the B12 level done today. Additionally, I am going to have a urine to test for iodine, after a correlation with it to dermatitis herpetiformis was mentioned in another post. I had read that in my research as well. I am praying that I don’t have that! The dietary restrictions, esp when combined with eating gluten free are horrendous! Talk about malnutrition! Anyway, one step, one day at a time. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself. Not easy.
