I am a 37 yo female. I have 4 kids, 15, 11, 8, and 5. We are all Celiac. I had my 5th on January 8th, so he is 14 weeks. Celiac pregnancy obviously. I got severely glutened in the hospital with him. I had a very rough 3rd trimester where I could barely eat and developed oral allergy syndrome. My husband eats gluten. Not much at home, our kitchen...

This is just a shot in the dark to see if anyone else has this problem. My Celiac 11 year old just finished up her swim session for gym class. She's been in the pool about 4 or 5 times over the past 3 weeks. She missed the first week due to having the flu. Anyway, she has the worst rash right now from the stupid chlorine. It reminds me of how bad...

Hashimotos and Celiac

Can I ask what your symptoms were? -
My 11 year old Celiac daughter has recently started showing some thyroid symptoms. She got glutened pretty bad, had a decent outbreak of DH on her elbows, but she came to me about feeling like there was something stuck in her throat, and itching/bumps on the front of her throat. These symptoms definitely coincide with being glutened. I know gluten is a major...

I placed a big Katz order last week. I wanted to bring fall donuts apple picking for my family, we all have Celiac except my husband. Their powdered donuts are my favorite-- but I seem to be reacting to them (cramps, diarrhea, DH). The only difference between the powdered donuts and the rest of the donuts I bought (4 other flavors I did not react to...

I have histamine intolerance. My reaction to bananas is as if I ate gluten, and I get DH-like bumps because of it. It is not a histamine reaction (I'm well versed in that unfortunately). Everyone should read the replies by the scientist and doctor on this thread. The phrase "potential gliadin cross-reactivity" needs to be a more frequently used phrase... -

Celiac disease is in no way a one size fits all autoimmune disease and not thinking outside the box when it comes to food problems will be detrimental in the long run. For me, my banana symptoms cause DH-like bumps, which makes me think that it's a lectin/gluten protein confusion. Symptoms and context matters in ALL situations. Basically, tl:dr, I agree with... -

I love hearing about supportive spouses!!! Good luck to you on your journey. 😊 -

So, with OAS, things have to be super cooked. I only know with my kid that when we make fajitas with peppers and onions, she can eat them as long as they are really cooked down, whereas she reacts to raw pepper. The banana thing may not be OAS. I really think there is a protein thing going on. Everyone is different with their intolerances. You are still... -

It may be oral allergy syndrome. I take benadryl every single day because I have mast cell issues. My Celiac 14 year old daughter has oral allergy syndrome and reacts to almost all raw fruits and veggies. She also has an anaphylactic almond/cashew allergy. You have to be careful with OAS. Her symptoms are primary which means her tongue gets itchy and throat... -
The Quaker ones. They're not certified. I ate literally an entire sleeve of the caramel ones. When I got the trademark migraine the next morning, I knew I screwed up. I had joint pain last night (day 2) and today is day 3 and I'm so freaking irrationally angry. I don't always get the anger symptom but i hate it. I am usually the picture of composure...

So I react to bananas as well. I don't think it's latex related. I have read a couple things about how the proteins in ripe bananas are similar to gluten proteins. Do with that what you will...You're not crazy, though. Stop eating the bananas. I live in a sterile gluten-free home...and I react to banana bread, ripe bananas in smoothies, etc. I don't... -
Yes, I love the insane grocery bill and never having bread and putting my children through all.of the difficulties of Celiac....just for attention 😑 🙄

A long rant. I am 20 weeks pregnant. This is my first true Celiac pregnancy. My last baby I was "mostly" gluten free--but at this point with her I could eat all the things that gave me trouble not pregnant, like bananas and sweet bell peppers and milk. I was still cheating occasionally like an idiot back in 2018 so my immune system was still focused...

Yeah I'll second the lectins. I can't tolerate them and I used to. I can have peanut butter only occasionally. OP, lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose, is made in the tips of the villi. When the villi are injured, lactase is not made. Celiac also increases issues with the pancreas and enzyme production. My enzymes were super low when my allergist...
