Multiple 3cm lymph nodes in my armpits.

@kayabbott This has been going on for 2 years now. They come and go but have never gotten that big before. My tonsils did the same thing a year ago and they took them out along with part of my sinuses and something else I cant remember. Mayo checked me out a year ago thinking lymphoma and thankfully it wasnt that. Funny you mentioned celiac disease. My princess just took blood to look for it. I am just confused that they dont know what's wrong. My primary Dr. said she has never seen armpit nodes that big with no obvious reason. Thanks so much for replying and best of health to you.

@livininthestix I had mine on and off for more than 20 years; for me they were a marker for the intolerance to gluten (celiac triggered later by H1N1). I also had itchy skin rashes. Irksome putting one's arms down and feeling the lumps. It is good that your doctors are ruling out the dangerous culprits. If additional inflammation and other tests come up negative, consider an elimination diet to see if your are sensitive to some food(s). There is no good test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity. My celiac panel test was negative, but I tried gluten free afterwards and my rash, lumps, and GI and reflux problems went away (GI in days, rash and reflux a few months).
