Increased Sensitivity To Gluten After Going Gluten Free?

Hi, all. I'm just wondering if anyone has found that they are more sensitive to gluten and/or to other food allergens since going gluten free? Have you developed or discovered other food allegies after going gluten free?

I seem to be much more sensitive now, after 15 months of gluten-free living. I wonder about other foods, but haven't had the courage to test the hypothesis. "Just" being gluten free is enough of a challenge. I don't know how others who have multiple food allergies manage that challenge!

Thank you for any insight you can offer.

Oh yes, that can happen. I became more sensitive to smaller amounts of gluten as time went on--I'm just short of 5 years gluten-free. I also discovered that I was sensitive to other foods a few months after going on the diet. I'm still intolerant to legumes, tapioca, coconut, and soy--but have recently been able to successfully add dairy and corn back.

I think you'll find quite a lot of people in the forums who are not only gluten intolerant/Celiac, but also have a few other food intolerances.

I don't tolerate sugars well at all, and just the smell of corn makes me nauseous. I haven't tried to actually eat it though to find out if it's just my nose or a real intolerance! I can live quite happily without it, so I see no reason to chance it.

This happened to me. The only other food intolerance I noticed was to oats. Other things I could have in their whole form, but not if they were processed into flours or whatever. It seemed like it was tiny amounts of cc. It made it really difficult to figure out a diet, but I seem to be almost there now.

      Help Understanding Test Results

      By Brown42186 · Posted

      I added the normal ranges below. Yes, I had mostly quit eating gluten before the test was done last year. I have been consistently eating it since this past Christmas. I wasn't sure if the results could've been incorrect since I wasn't eating much if any at the time of the test. I have a GI appointment next week and was considering seeing if they'd retest me. Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGA - 4 units (0-19 range) Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGG - 3 units (0-19 range) Endomysial Antibody IGA - Negative Immunoglobulin A, QN, Serum - 211 mg (87-352 range) TTG IGA - <2 U/mL (0-3 range) TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range)

      The elevated TTG-IGG could be caused by celiac disease but it can be elevated for other reasons as well. The centerpiece of celiac blood antibody testing is the TTG-IGA and apparently that was not elevated. When you had the blood draw done for the testing, had you already been cutting back on gluten?

      @Cathijean90 It's pretty common to suffer from symptoms for a long time.  I had symptoms for a decade before I was diagnosed and I think that is about average.  The problem is the symptoms are often vague enough to be attributed to other digestive issues and that was the case with me.  It was only after I found out I was anemic from routine bloodwork and the doctor referred me to a gastroenterologist that I was finally diagnosed.  Afterwards I was mad at myself for not figuring it out sooner. That being said, you do probably need to talk to your doctor and figure out where to go from here.  A dietician and online resources (including this site) can assist you with going gluten free and as long as you do that, I think you'll likely be okay and your body will heal in time.

      I'm having a hard time understanding my blood test results. I've dealt with stomach issues for a few years and was tested for celiac but had not been eating much gluten if any at all around the date of my test. Could you help me interpret my results? Should I eat gluten consistently then have them redone? Thanks! Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGA - 4 units Deamidated Gliadin ABS, IGG - 3 units Endomysial Antibody IGA - Negative Immunoglobulin A, QN, Serum - 211 mg TTG IGA - <2 U/mL TTG IGG - 9 U/mL The bottom result for TTG IGG is the only one flagged as high, but does that mean I have celiac? Or is that just something else?
