Upper respiratory symptoms from gluten?

My son has been gluten free for almost three years and has never been healthier. He is 13 and also has autism. I have had IBS for years, and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about two years ago.

Yesterday, I had a bowl of cream of wheat. I don't think I had eaten that in over a year.

Within probably an hour, I had diarrhea, and I started sneezing non stop. My nose became extremely stuffy. I didn't relate the two (stomach and nose) until today. Could the sneezing and stuffy nose have been from the wheat/gluten?

Thank you very much,
