I have an immune reaction to gluten. I come out in a rash to my face and itchy spots on my hands and feet.
I haven’t had the necessary biopsy to determine with 100% accuracy that I have coeliac disease, but even when I opened a box of ‘Shreddies’ breakfast cereal and accidentally inhaled the excess air in the bag i came out in a rash and itchy spots.
The ingestion of the slightest amount of gluten always causes this reaction.
I try to be gluten free entirely, but a lot of things are cross contaminated with gluten such as nuts and seeds. Washing fruit is essential too.
I have been gluten free for years. I am stable, but heavily medicated.
Noticing that those with coeliac disease are 3x more likely to deveolp sz and the fact that I had a DNA test that says I carry one of the two genes that may cause coeliac disease, I am most likely a coeliac.
Another tell tale symptom of a coeliac child is delayed puberty and lack of growth. I had this as a child and had to have growth hormone injected in me. They missed the diagnosis of coeliac disease at the time though. My faith in doctors is poor to say the least.
To think that diet plays a crucial role in our neurofunction cannot be denied with the gut biome brain connection being in the media lately. Avoiding gluten for all szs, I don’t know. I certainly must avoid it though.

Personally I noticed drop in energy if I eat gluten. Not that I have a lot, so when energy drops I feel it. Might be from carbs as well
