Would hives be a symptom of celiac disease. About 2 years ago I had a severe case of hives for about a year. My eyes would swell and i would have huge patches of hives all around my body. It was so bad that my chest started to hurt. I know hives you never know why you get them. But could hives be a symptom of celiac disease. I get them on occasion, but not as severe as I used to.

Hives are an allergic reaction. Something you were exposed to (pollen, detergent, soap, animal dander, etc.) was causing a histamine reaction in the skin. Hives are far more likely to be a contact allergy than a food allergy.

I to have had hives. I know that it is a allergic reaction but I get them sometimes when I eat not often but then I can eat the same thing the next day and not have a reaction. I have had a positive blood test for celiac (not sure which) just waiting on the biopsy now. Does anyone else have this happen to them?

Hives can be from food allergies and if you are getting hives from a food allergy, then you are at risk for anaphylaxis. Not something to mess around with. You need allergy testing to find out what you are allergic to and avoid it.

My son is very allergic to walnuts and when he accidentally ate them and got hives all over his body we were rushed to the E.R. We carry an epipen everywhere we go.

I wanted to add- keep Benadryl on hand for them and take it as soon as they start.

I get hives as well. I was just diagnosed with celiac's disease, and the nurse told me today that my biopsy confirmed it. I noticed that my hives would come at times when I was really stressed. I got them around November last year, they weren't as bad. But before they would cover my whole body. And honestly I have no clue why!

You can be allergic to weird things and not know it. My grandmother was getting hives all over her arms. It turned out she was allergic to newspaper ink. She started wearing dish gloves to read the newspaper and it all went away.

My son gets hives (and swelling, etc) from dairy. He's considered anaphylactic to dairy, and we carry benadryl and epipens.

I occasionally get hives if I get gluten. Sometimes from sulfites - doc put me on Imitrex, which is a sulfate drug for migraines - and I wound up with some major problems breathing!

Okay so I just learned something. This is very interesting and I had no idea.

So autoimmune disorders CAN cause hives. Hmmm the things you learn. Yay, another symptom we can add to our list. Let's just keep piling them on shall we?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jo Woodard! The problem with oats is not always cross contamination with gluten from other grains. The main protein found in oats is "avenin" and it has a structure similar to the wheat/barley/rye protein "gluten". It is similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs. About 10% of celiacs cannot tolerate oats.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      You might find this interesting as it outlines the various antibody tests that can be ordered and rates them for their relative reliability: What symptoms do you experience and how long have you been experiencing them? Do you have any other blood work parameters that are out of range from say a CBC or CMP. For those with celiac disease, the immune system misinterprets gluten as an invader and sends attacking cells into the lining of the small bowel, causing inflammation. Over time, this inflammation wears down the "villi" that line the small bowel, millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that constitute the nutrient absorbing organ of the intestinal track. This can greatly reduce the efficiency with which nutrients are absorbed and often leads to other nutrient deficiency-related medical problems such as anemia and osteopenia/osteoporosis, just to name a couple. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and is often found in association with other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease and diabetes. There are over 200 symptoms/medical problems that have been associated with celiac disease, many of them not fitting into the classic category of GI distress.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you for your input- and I do think it’s best for me to just wait a little while before I do gluten challenge for a biopsy. Getting a dietitian is also a good idea.

      By Ryangf · Posted

      @trents As much as I want to believe I have NCGS it seems unlikely that I do based on the fact that it caused other possible intolerances to other foods and I had clear signs of malnutrition exhibited by my rapid weight loss. Which may indicate stomach lining damage- as well as the anemia I already had has worsened. As far as the wheat flour particles that is valid- I may start putting on a mask when i know we’re going to be handling wheat otherwise I don’t really need to wear one because the wheat and any type of flours are in a small corner of the room far away from the cooking a preparing space and we have a cleaning regimen.

      @Wheatwacked Unfortunately I haven’t been able to intake a sufficient amount of iodine through means of salt because most big name brand iodine salts contain dextrose which is a corn derivative…I have only been able to use kosher salt.
