Allergic to Almost all Food - Eating Meat....Support?!

Hi.  I've been eating a limited diet since 2007 when I first had allergic reactions to foods and my body went "hyper sensitive", I went gluten-free fully in 2009 and have been living a great life by eating healthy and gluten-free.  About 6 months ago I had 10 reactions in a two month time frame, went on an even cleaner diet, and was good for two months, and then it happened again. Plus I had a reaction to dye free Benadryl. I saw two different functional medicine doctors and signed on with one of them. He took my labs and told me my yeast levels are very high, I have leaky gut and other than that I should be an easy fix because my thyroid and other numbers were good. Well adrenal fatigue I have too of course. (:  Last week he put me on Paleo Protein and L-Glutamine. Both I'd tried the week before in small amounts and did okay with. Well last week Tuesday I reacted to the Paleo Protein and it really stirred up something in me, because Wed I had a reaction to one bite of eggplant and then bruseel sprouts later in the day and they've always been fine. Thursday morning Turkey got stuck in my throat and I felt off from that. So I went back to chicken, beef and water and kept taking the L-Glutamine. Friday I felt funky and so Saturday I stopped talking the L-Glutamine and had chicken and bison. Felt great for the first day. Today I tried just a little bit of the l-glutamine in water again and my throat started to clench and my face felt full. Then my lips felt numb.  So my first question is....what do you guys take other than Benadryl if you're having a stronger reaction??? I have HistDAO histamine blocker, but if I need more I don't know what to take.  Next....help! those of you that are down to only meat and water too, what is working for you???  Thirdly, how off is my body to have a reaction to L-Glutamine? I just can't do anything man-made. Can anyone relate to any of this??

I suggest researching Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or EOE.

 Also, Benadryl crosses the blood brain barrier and there have been long-term complications.  Talk to your doctor about using  another antihistamine.  If your reactions have been anaphylactic, you should have an epi pen.  I hope you feel better soon!

The L-Glutamine may have gluten in it.  Try drinking bone broth daily instead.

Your getting plenty of proteins for once and I would drop the L-glutamine supplement what brand is it? Paleo Protein as in the brand? They were not gluten free last I checked, I got sick from it 2 years ago or so when they changed to a non dedicated facility.

Thanks everyone!  The L-Glutamine is from Nutri-Dyne and the Paleo Protein is from Dynamic and is sold by Nutri-Dyne. Is this the brand you got sick from?

It won't let me attach a picture. It's the Pure Beef Protein Isolate French Vanilla with vanilla seeds in the front.

Yours looks safe I was using paleo pro back then and the company changed from gluten free to manufactured in the same facility as.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
