What >other symptoms have others noticed in the immediate aftermath of >gluten challenge? A tightness in the chest that I can test with a cough. I comes out as a wheeze. I may notice a mental dullness and slight depression. My not-so-immediate symptoms (next day) are overall respiratory congestion, tender throat, and the constipation/diarrhea pattern. My facial skin becomes bumpy and scaly, but not consciously itchy. I follow this message with a question message of my own. Best of eating to all. Mary C. [log in to unmask]
