    Lily, I understand your worries about mysterious reactions to something eaten or used, but it could be malnutrition. Doctors often overlook malnutrition because they are trained to write prescriptions. Many Celiacs suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Minerals like Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium are essential for the body to maintain...

    Emily, I agree with Cycling Lady's advice to continue eating gluten until all tests are completed. Many Celiacs report horrible reactions to the reintroduction of gluten into their diets after several weeks or months of being gluten free. They endure these Gluten Challenges for diagnostic purposes after they went gluten free on their own or on poor...

    You may want to be checked for vitamin deficiencies. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Deficiencies in different vitamins can result in different kinds of mouth sores. Vitamin C deficiency causes sores on the gums. Vitamins B 12, B 6, and B 3 can cause changes of the tongue and lips. Deficiencies of minerals such...

    Have you tried tryptophan? It's an amino acid found in milk and turkey. Being allergic to milk, I use a tryptophan supplement, along with a calcium supplement, and I'm out like a light. Another amino acid supplement, L-theanine is good for relaxing and a feeling of well-being, though not sleepiness. And passion flower extract is really good...

    Has your daughter been checked for nutritional deficiencies? Many newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Iron deficiency can cause a loss of appetite as can deficiencies of B12 and vitamin D. Additionally, anxiety can be a symptom of vitamin D deficiency. If deficient, more than a multivitamin might be necessary to replenish...

    Hello, The symptoms you described after ingesting dairy are similar to iodine allergy symptoms. https://www.livestrong.com/article/448272-are-iodine-drops-dangerous/ I have an iodine allergy and dairy allergy. I used to could eat certain kinds of dairy, but can't tolerate any at all now. Different kinds of dairy products have different...

    https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2016.00130/full This article discusses how wheat and dairy products can produce opioids that can affect the brain and mess with your mind.

    https://www.livestrong.com/article/363746-what-vitamin-deficiencies-cause-tremors/ Tremors can be caused by vitamin deficiencies. Vitamins B 12, B1, B6, Vitamin E and magnesium are important to nerve and muscle function. Many vitamins are often low in newly diagnosed Celiacs. B12 absorption is less efficient as we age. Your mother might benefit by...

    "Activation of the adaptive immune system is one prerequisite for the occurrence of celiac disease and is reflected by the development of gliadin antibodies and auto antibodies. Our finding that, in a fraction of coeliac patients, CM protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge, may also suggest an innate...

    Playing the devil's advocate.....if you want to have a DH outbreak, eat foods high in iodine, such as seaweed or kelp, strawberries, cranberries, turkey, shrimp and dairy products like cheese and yogurt, or even idolized salt. I had really bad DH outbreaks after eating rye breads and thick chewy pizza crust. Here's a couple of articles that might...

    I have suffered from this. Try increasing your vitamin D, zinc and vitamin C. My vitamin D was very low at the time. I got my vitamin D, zinc and C levels up with supplements and noticed great improvement. Takes several weeks though. Here's a study on the vitamin C helping with it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5125947/ Hope...

    Optic neuritis may be caused by nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies in vitamins B 12, D and A and some of the other B vitamins. This happened to me leaving me blind. B12 deficiency can also make DH worse. Vitamin A deficiency is often found in Sjogrens. Malabsorption goes with Celiac Disease. Please get checked for nutritional...

    http://www.thepatientceliac.com/tag/mast-cell-activation-syndrome-and-celiac/ Here's an article or two on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

    Goose flesh....you know when you're cold and you get chill bumps? Well, goose flesh is like those bumps but they stay even when you're not cold. It's caused by a build up of keratin near hair follicles. Keratin can also build up in your intestinal tract and lungs. The body needs vitamin A to process out that keratin, and for skin and eye health, and blood...

    Have you been checked for vitamin deficiencies? Niacin (B3) or thiamine (B1) deficiency will cause gastrointestinal symptoms like you described. Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition. Many Celiacs develop nutritional deficiencies even on a gluten free diet. Doctors easily overlook vitamin and mineral deficiencies because they...

    I suggest you have your doctor check for nutritional deficiencies common in Celiacs. Deficiency in Vitamin D can make psoriasis worse. Vitamin A deficiency can cause goose flesh and other skin problems. Also deficiencies in several B vitamins can manifest as skin problems. Deficiencies of Vitamins B12, B3 (niacin), B2 (riboflavin), and B 9 (methylfolate...

    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2036.2009.04039.x/full Thought you might like this study done on Celiac patients concerning anti-tissue transglutaminase levels. They conclude high anti-tissue transglutaminase levels may be due to gluten still in the diet, iron deficiency, or abnormal duodenal histology. Getting really strict...

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099351/ This is a National Institute of Health article that summarizes many of the studies done on SIBO, including diagnosis and treatment with different medications.

    Hi! I understand. I reacted that way to the bakery aisle, seafood restaurants (crustacean allergy), and anything dairy (wicked allergy). I had lots of vitamin and mineral deficiencies, so I encourage you to get your nutritional status tested. I find calcium supplements and Passion Flower extract helps tremendously for sudden attacks. Calcium...
