Secondary food intolerances due to gluten

I've been gluten free since September and have found that I now can't eat red dye 40, stevia, or artificial sweeteners. I can't have lactose either, but I've had that for years. However in the past few months I've noticed that I seems like I can't eat eggs. Thankfully the reaction isn't as bad as when I eat any of the other things I listed, but there definitely seems to be some sort of reaction. When I eat scrambled or hard boiled eggs I'm very gassy and my stomach is a bit upset and bloated all day. When I eat something like bread, cookies, etc., I don't feel as bloated, but within minutes my stomach starts to feel kind of upset and it usually lasts for a few hours. I've been trying to avoid eggs for the past few weeks, but I ate something tonight that had eggs in it and I'm feeling the same way and the right side of my chest hurts? Is an intolerance to eggs common after going gluten free? Will it go away? I'm almost scared that it could be an allergy or something just because of how fast the reaction happens. With gluten, lactose, food dye, etc., I don't actually have a reaction until several hours later or even the next day, and with this it happens in minutes. What do you think??

Yes I have been gluten free since 2007 and immediately became intolerant to many things... most are the things I ate my whole life with wheat like tomato, onion, cheese, legumes but also preservatives like citric acid (corn) and dyes.  I have read there could be a gut association or memory from prior combination but unsure...I have learned to eat and enjoy new foods I rarely ate before.

Hi 1398days,

The reaction being that fast may indicate an allergy.  I don't know how common among celiacs but eggs are one of the leading allergens in the USA.  There have been other posters on the forum with egg reactions.  Some of the common foods that cause reactions among forum posters seem to be  soy, corn, and nightshades.  I am sure there are others I am not thinking of though.  These are often food intolerances, not allergiies.  They may cause a different immune reaction (non-IgE) but still cause symptoms.  There aren't many food intolerance tests available at the doctors right now.   Allergens (IgE) are more easily tested.  If you google top 8 food allergens you can find more info.

Open Original Shared Link

Allergens

Although nearly any food is capable of causing an allergic reaction, there are eight foods that cause the majority of reactions. These foods are:

  • Open Original Shared Link
  • Open Original Shared Link
  • Open Original Shared Link 
  • Open Original Shared Link 
  • Open Original Shared Link 
  • Open Original Shared Link
  • Open Original Shared Link
  • Open Original Shared Link

Another common allergen is Open Original Shared Link, which affects hundreds of thousands of Americans. The information in this section offers a more in-depth look at each of these common food allergens, and provides guidance for avoiding these ingredients.

Great information. 

I just had blood tests for a list of about 20 food allergies. Even though I am intolerant to both soy and lactose, I have no allergy to them at all. In fact, I am not allergic to had of the 20 foods on the list. 

Food allergies often cause quick symptoms. For example, my mother loved strawberries but didn't eat them because they caused a pretty instant rash all over and made her feel sick. It was most likely an allergic reaction and not intolerance (the doctor told my grandmother that mom was allergic to strawberries, but given this was in the 40's this may have been a diagnosis based on symptoms).

At this point, I just go with symptoms.  Angioedema trumps all for me.  All foods listed by other posts are intolerances for me as well causing flare up of GI symptoms,  joint pain, etc. so I avoid them.    I found this book a great resource:

The Paleo Approach

Reverse Autoimmune Disease and Heal your Body

Ballantyne, Sarah

Her website is helpful as well.

I have understood that after the gut heals, some foods can be reintroduced so maybe there is a health professional that could guide you thru this.  Naturopathic doctors seem more familiar with food allergies, leaky gut and autoimmunity.  It is just important to find a ND that respects a MD's approach and vice versa.

Hope that helps.

Sometimes things like milk intolerance will go away after your gut heals.
I would watch your diet and stay connected with a GI doctor... you never know if something else could be going on as well.  There are other diseases associated with Celiac.

Thank you.  I just had the endoscopies done, multiple biopsies so hopefully will have some answers soon.

      My 16yr daughter was recently diagnosed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry to hear about the challenges you and your daughter are facing. A celiac diagnosis, especially during adolescence, can be overwhelming, and it’s understandable that she’s struggling with the lifestyle changes it requires. Coupled with the complexities of self-medication and signs of an eating disorder, this is undoubtedly a difficult time for your family. It’s great that you’re already engaged in therapies—this is a crucial step. For celiac disease, connecting with support groups (like those from the Celiac Disease Foundation) and working with a dietitian specializing in gluten-free diets can help ease the transition. For the emotional and mental health aspects, family therapy or support groups for parents of teens with similar struggles might provide additional tools and comfort. You’re doing the right thing by seeking help and information—stay patient and compassionate with both your daughter and yourself as you navigate this journey together.

      It is only the very start of this journey but it's actually been one of the hardest things we have had to deal with as parents.she started complaining about her stomach and after months and test after test the diagnosis came back as Celiac disease but while this was happening she has been self medicating with THC and also started making showing signs of a eating disorder, we are in therapies of all sorts in relation to these issues and well I'm just reaching out to find any and all information tools and knowledge as at 16 my daughter is fighting the change but it will be with her for a lifetime so I just trying to do all I can do ... If anyone can help with anything like anything mentioned please reach out to me.....thank you all for existing

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.
