Im 58 and have had asthma since I was 12 yrs old. Just recently I chose to reduce sugar and remove wheat for 1 month – in order to lose a pound or two. After 3 weeks I realized I wasn’t using my inhaler much at all and no wheezing, hmmmmm…. Started introducing trial amounts of wheat back in and within 12 to 24 I was needing the inhaler. Imagine, all this time I have unknowingly been allergic because it is was in everything I ate!

I thought I was left with asthma to be honest, even went to an allergist, but wasn’t allergic to any environmental allergens nor did I have asthma. A few months later my PCP did some blood work to test for food allergies and low and behold I had a gluten allergy. Not celiac, but a gluten allergy IgG antibody.

Hi, I don’t remember how long it took, but when I ate gluten and dairy regularly , my seasonal allergies made me miserable. Now I am amazed that I can go out and breather the air with all these flowers around, my kids 14, 16 stay inside because of spring but me, I breather freely. Hang in there. Try avoiding corn also if you can, it’s full of Roundup anyways, or make sure it’s organic.
Hang in there, and stay tuned to your body. If you feel bloated, or even really full, there is a food you just ate that maybe should be avoided. Good luck !

I’m sorry for your suffering! I am 55 and was having digestive issues, which is one of the ways wheat bothers me. A few yrs ago, when I was having severe digestive problems that caused bloating, pain, et made it impossible to eat, so I didn’t. After a week I went on a liquid diet. After 3 wks. I was feeling better. What I discovered as a consequence was that I felt a lot better and no longer had NIGHT TIME COUGHING. I had coughing during the night since I was 10 yrs old.I realized I hadn’t had any wheat in 3 wks. The coughing was definitely caused by wheat, as it causing inflammation everywhere in my body. Even though I tested negative for wheat allergy. I know better! Wheat affect my airway, digestion, my joints, causes brain fog. My son who is 30 now, had “exertion” asthma as the doctor called it, since he could run. I suspect he is sensitive to wheat too. In your case, it may depend on how much inflammation your body has stored before you are better, if wheat is the issue. Wheat is hidden in a lot of foods, so you have to be careful, you know like soups, sauces, et. I saw a nature path doctor last week, she said she’s hearing of more and more patients who are suffering from coughing that have wheat allergies. You are NOT crazy! You are listening g to your body. Good job!

Age 20 through 35 i always sneezed, had runny nose, watery/itchy eyes, and found that regular workouts kept my allergies at bay. However, in the last two years my system responds differently – I’ve had onset of asthma. No runny nose, sneezing. BUT, I wheeze a lot and my lung inflammation lasts a long time. Although I use the fluticasone inhaler once a day, I feel miserable. I walked about 2 km today and was out of breath. I want to be able to breathe. I want to run.

After reading the posts, I’ve taken out all dairy from my diet for last 5 days, and gluten (wheat) for last 2 days. I’m yet to notice an improvement, but I see from the responses that this may take some time to make a noticeable change.

I love wheat beer and I can now connect to being always having allergic response after consuming wheat beer. I have similar reaction to red wine too. This led me to believe that I’m sulfite sensitive but I have eliminated alcohol from my diet as well.

From people who have seen benefits with gluten free diet, how long should I be on it before noticing a change ? I’m off gluten, dairy and sugar. I do consume rice and oat from the grain family. The rest fruits and veggies.

I’ll appreciate any advice. Help me put on my running shoes. I want to feel the fresh air deep in my lungs. Thank you.

For 40 years I took inhalers everyday. 5 years ago I went on a gluten free diet. After 1 week on the gluten free diet my asthma disapeared and I found I didn’t need the inhalers anymore. I have been asthma free ever since and I’m still gluten free. Sometimes I go back to eating foods with gluten in it and after about a week or two the asthma slowly comes back. So I’ve learned my lesson and try my best to stay away from all gluten!

I decided to try cutting out wheat after finding links online suggesting a possible connection. Immediately I’ve noticed improvement – less wheezing & sleeping the night without inhaler. I’ve never had intestinal issues but I have had reflux. It’s tough – giving up dough but I’ll try alternate flours & have to learn to cook a bit.

In 2016 I was diagnosed with wheat allergy plus other food allergies including cow’s milk, egg whites and peanuts. After having cut most of the wheat out of my diet, my asthma symtoms are much better. Eliminating wheat is difficult esp. with bread.

I have had 2 anaphylactic reactions. I have been on many different medications. I have always known that I had a milk allergy and decided to embrace that and eliminate dairy products 6 months ago. This made quite a difference. I noticed wheezing had decreased and I no longer had the deep, phlegmy cough. One month ago I decided to eliminate gluten and my asthma totally disappeared in 1 week. I actually have never breathed this well ever. I continue to take my asthma medications but plan on a visit to my Lung Specialist. I would like to be medication free, if possible.
