Hi everybody. I have been having symptoms daily for almost two weeks now, and I am careful about what goes near my mouth, and live in a gluten-free house. Somebody suggested fructose malabsorption, which could be a problem.

So what is "Safe" without:

Corn

Soy

Gluten

Dairy

Shellfish

Fructose

I like veggies, fruit (which I guess is a problem now), rice, quinoa, meat...

Any suggestions would be lovely!

I don't know if this will be helpful, but I had a similar experience. Turns out, besides the gluten issue, I'm allergic to many fruits/veggies. :)

Mom has fructose malapsorption. I can tell you how she was eating when she came to visit last.

She eats eggs and sausage or ham for breakfast. Mom eats corn so we were having grits and corn bread, but maybe you could eat Cream of Rice. You also might be able to make yourself bread from tapioca starch or white rice flour. Mom says that brown rice has too many fructans and a lot of the commercial gluten-free breads are made from brown rice flour and don't agree with her.

She would eat a little fruit, with a trick. She mail orders bags of dextrose and came with one in her suitcase. When she has a little fruit, she sprinkles dextrose on it to shift the fructose:glucose ratio and make it easier to absorb. She also puts dextrose in her coffee although it's not as sweet as sugar.

For lunch, she usually has salad. Lettuce and greens are great on the FODMAP diet, and she can have limited amounts of enough other veggies to make interesting salads. She found some mayo without HFCS and made tuna salad and chicken salads a lot. (I think there's soy free mayo?) She checks labels for gluten-free dressings with no HFCS. She was eating hummus with corn chips too - you could probably use potato chips or celery.

For dinner, she eats meats and fish, white rice, potatoes, or sweet potatoes, and lot of cooked greens because they have almost no fructose. When she visited, we had kale, chard, spinach, and collards. She also finds that green beans are pretty easy to digest and she might have been eating peas. She'll also eat bean soups or white chili (no tomato!) if she takes a little Beanzyme. I had some frozen, homemade chicken with rice soup that she liked too.

She doesn't eat much sugar or sweets. She does have a square of Dove chocolate every night after dinner. B)

Hope this helps a little.

FODMAP is great. I am dxed Gluten Intolerant probaly Coeliac. Then Dr thought Dairy was a problem so I went DF for a year or two. But every now and then I would get worse. I finally had lactose tests and fructose tests and found I was lactose and fructose intolerant. Then Dr suggested I am FODMAP and I knew as soon as I read it - that it was me. Onions are one of my biggest allergens and they are Fructans. Sorbitols are another. Fruit upsets me but berries are fine.

This list helps.

Another good read.

Dr Sue Shepherd developed FODMAP in 2001. Open Original Shared Link There are lots of links here which explain the different groups as as one poster said - you can often tolerate small amounts of the intolerance if you mix it with glucose/sugar/dextrose. And lactose free means you can have cream, butter and hard cheeses as they contain virtually no lactose. Sue even suggests small amounts of milk are OK if taken with a meal. And fruit is fine if cooked with sugar as in an apple pie for instance. Its all about finding the level that suits you. And some fruits are worse than others.. It does mean reading the labels a bit more carefully though as many commercial gluten-free foods have onion powder or other nasties.

I feel SO much better since eating FODMAP and I have only been on it about a month. I have an Australian made commercial pre mix which is brilliant. Cakes, muffins, waffles - all just add an egg and water and mix. Brighterlife mixes. They are no Wheat, Soy, Egg, Gluten, Corn, Artificial Colours, Preservatives, Yeast, Salicylates, Amines, Casein, Fructose, and are low in Fat and low in Sugar. Open Original Shared Link You may have a similar company there.

As Sue explains - make sure you are lactose intolerant - as it is important to keep to have some dairy in the diet if you can. And there is no need to be dairy free if you are only lactose intolerant.

Its worth it to feel healthy and I don't miss the FODMAP foods at all.

Great post! This is exactly the type of information I was needing for myself. I started 2 days ago eliminating fructose to see if that was the cause of my unrelenting symptoms. Seems it was indeed as I am gas free for the 1st time in...well, maybe my life B) . And great information about the lactose intolerance. I was just wondering about dairy because I had eliminated dairy when I went gluten-free, but I love dairy and definitely want to reincorporate if possible. Did you purchase the Sue Shepherd book? I probably need to do that.

Thanks guys! Georgie, I'm pretty sure it's a caseine thing since things that are supposedly lactose free bother me.

I went grocery shopping and bought blueberries, celery, spinach, chickpeas, rice, white potato, eggs, and some herbal tea. anything wrong with those?

Skylark Collaborator

All is fine, but go easy on the blueberries. :) I really hope you've figured out something that helps.

Go easy with the chick peas... Try hard cheeses first and see how you go. Once the onion , fruit and sorbitols were removed I found the casein was 'not' the problem. Berries are fine. Fruit is OK if you share it with glucose. I try to have less sugar these days so avoid the fruit/glucose idea. I do like FODMAP though! The Sue Shepherd books are really good. I have just bought her latest - lots of good ideas.. The idea she stresses is that although you need lactose free - this does 'not' mean you cannot tolerate low amounts of it... once all the other FODMAP allergens are under control and you start to heal. I disagree with her low gluten idea but she does say that some people have Coeliac + FODMAP and need the gluten-free diet.

      Hi. Yes. I’m awaiting my Biopsy results. I had B12 and other labs drawn on Mon, including Thyroid levels, as I am on Levothyroxine for radiation-induced hypothyroidism. Those levels should indicate any iodine issues. We had discussed the urine iodine, but he went with the thyroid instead. We’ll see.  I never had any of those Pellagra skin changes, or Casal’s necklace. Just itchiness in the supraclavicular hollows on both sides of my neck, and the anterior aspect as my neck radiation site.  The hollows had no changes until I scratched them, then I got the rash on those areas like the ones I have now scattered in different areas, usually on both sides with the exception of my anterior thighs. My right is affected, my left isn’t. I am 70 and have all my teeth as well - amazingly after having had max dose radiation in 2002. 😂 Unfortunately, because of long term changes in my oral mucosa because of it I can’t use mouthwashes - even non-alcohol ones, as they all burn my mouth like fire. Toothpastes burn as well, but not nearly as bad. I have an electric toothbrush but it is getting more difficult to use due to increasing trismus. Some days I cannot open my mouth wide enough to get the electric brush between my back teeth, so on those days I use a regular one. Gotta do what you gotta do.  Thank you for your input. Any insight I can get into this is appreciated. So, for now it’s the waiting game for test results, then we can form a treatment plan going forward.

      Hiya..I was 48 when diagnosed two years ago and I was in right bad way but strict gluten-free diet you will recover I promise x

      Hi everyone I'm James, I hope you are all feeling well??. Accidentally had gluten at weekend and I've had severe diarrhea since sat night. My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week
