Nightmare questiion and allergy question

Hello Everyone,

For the past few weeks, I have had a recurring nightmare that I have Celiac Disease, thhen I wake up and realize that it is true. ? 
It is so strange. I am still a newbie I guess. Does this happen to anyone else?

I have a question about soy, apples, milk and hazlenuts.
I am newly allergic to all of those, I hear the milk allergy will go away with the return of my villi.
Has anyone encountered the same sort of healing with other allergies? Have any gone away? Apples were so damn easy to put in my purse and have handy for a good gluten free snack!

Thanks, Hope I'm being clear, been in a brain fog for a few days ;)

Wishing you all health!

Yes on the nightmares. Usually I know I am Celiac and my family gives me food but it has gluten in it and I am furious. That has never happened and they arensuper supportive to the point my home is gluten free so go figure.

As for food allergies and inollerences. I had blood tests for food but they are 50% accurate at best. I never had these before going gluten free but while healing for many years I had countless intollerences. I ended up on an elimination diet for years. Mind you I had no undamaged GI and I was in my 40s so it took longer for me to heal fully which I am now. I still have intollerences to legumes, citrus, soy, casin, chicken (not eggs), nightshades..... some of those have to do with neurotoxins being very high in the vegetable itself. I went on the FODMAP diet and got rid of gas and bloat. Some nuts are ok others go right through. I can do dairy but my CRP marker for inflamation goes up. I am also MTHFR single gene positive so foods high in folic acid make me feel awful so i avoid and take lmethyfolate daily. Many vitamins i take are the methyl form, the broken down form. 

Keep coming here, lots of great information and great people. You will heal and it gets better little by little. My change in diet cleared my arteries, got rid of my kidney stones, made my hair and skin soft, fixed my gi cramping and gas.....hang in there.

Yeah get those nightmares randomly of eating somewhere or something not safe.

Food allergies? Allergies do not really go away.....they are pretty much life.
Food sensitivities and intolerance issues do go away sometimes. I used to have a legume issue with pea protein that went away in a few months, the sesame issue stuck around for over a year I can eat in moderation now, and double issues with olives (Adultered with corn oil I was allergic to and then I had a sensitivity to real ones. The latter went away...still have the corn issues and stick to certain brands.) I get rolling issues of intolerance or food sensitivities that spike after a exposure and sometimes go away....lettuce is still a NO, and peanuts have made me vomit for the past 3 some odd years. Soy will give me bloating, and soy lectin containing foods are fine.
Some other things are enzyme break down thing, so I can not eat animal fats, or meats without feeling sick.
But I am forever allergic to corn and whey, but I will say certain things can make them MUCH worse, less antihistamines, or taking foods high in iodine can make reactions more drastic.

Hey Ennis_TX ! Thanks for your reply & helpful link! I am still learning. I'm glad your legume sensitivity went away since that pea protein seems to help you a lot. My apple, celery, soy, and milk allergies all showed up on a igE blood test. Some of the numbers were not very elevated, but I will see this with a new DR who is also a micronutritionist and knows a ton about celiac in a few weeks. (can't wait to be heard!!!) I would be so interested to get the same blood test in a year to see the results. Good point about soy vs soy lectin, I will see about this as well. It would be a huge relief if this is ok. As for allergies, my symptoms with apples are really nothing when i eat royal gala, all other apples make me feel only slightly acidic. Anyway, this low fodmap, gluten free, whole food diet is really working for me in many ways including digestive issues, just can't wait for the nerve and muscle pain to dissipate! 

Have a lovely evening!

pikakegirl. Glad you are well surrounded, although you aren't in your nightmares...which is quite normal ?

Interesting about the accuracy of the blood tests! My intolerances seemed to have come during my healing as well. Did you stay on the low fodmap or have you reintroduced anything? What a perfect name for that gene... MTHFR!

Very good idea about the vitamins. I think that while healing, I need to change to methyl!

Glad your diet has resolved so many issues for you!

Awol cast iron stomach Experienced

I had weird dreams too. I had cc dreams and watching my symptoms and pain as 3rd person.  I had dreams I was hiding my favorite missed gluten  foods in my sock drawer of my bedroom nightstand and my family would bust me opening it and tell me honey / mom you are celiac you can't eat that and I would cry. I woke up one day realizing the feelings were so real and I was grieving. So yep been there.

As for intolerances I went from one to 8 to 13 and now down to 3. I was dropping anything that gave me an inflamed gi, off gi, muscle pain, nerve pain, and joint pain as my guide while mending. The veterans and community here helped me tremendously and they will you too. 

I am glad you know about the condition and are on the right track. Good luck with the healing.?

Hey AWOL !

trippy nightmare! So happy to hear you have less intolerances now. Amazing. Phew! Thanks for the hope. I feel much better everyday. Suddenly seems accelerated?! I can almost walk normally. Still in pain, but I am walking about 10 x faster than a few weeks ago. Something I am doing is working. I even had a cookie today (gluten-free of course) but it was my first processed food in so long. I was scared and it was totally fine. I haven’t had alcohol in months. I am scared, but i would love a wee drink. Curious how long people take to reintroduce booze. I will never drink as I did before, i loved beer and brewed, but a drink once in a while would be fab.

      Some studies, with admittedly small sample sizes, show that about 50% of celiacs react to the protein casein in dairy the same way they do gluten. Can't find the NIH article I'm looking for but this one basically makes the point:

      I was diagnosed in April. I have been very careful about being gluten-free, except for one accident in August where I ate candy with wheat. Despite being careful, I still experience extreme painful bloating almost daily. I'm so frustrated. I stopped eating gluten-free oats because I wondered if that was it. Now I am wondering if is dairy. I'm already tired of constantly wondering if I messed up.

      In general I'm all for a formal diagnosis, except in cases where someone gets very sick when they eat gluten, and have already been on a gluten-free diet for a long time and don't plan to eat it again anyway. There seems to be more drawbacks that keep popping up with being formally diagnosed--at least here in the USA. I can testify that it's definitely harder to obtain life insurance, and if you can get it the premiums are quite a bit higher than if I did not have it, at least from my fairly recent experience when getting a new policy.  @Ginger38 you're very close to the end of your challenge, so let us know how it turns out.

      Just to add something here... if any people in the UK are reading this, there can be definite advantages if you are formally diagnosed coeliac,  in terms of getting extra support from the NHS.  For free you get to see a nutritionist, additional vaccinations if deemed necessary, in some areas prescriptions for gluten free food; bone density scans, annual blood tests and reviews with a gastroenterologist, plus it has been my experience I've been able to see a gastroenterologist without a GP's re-referral when I've had complications.  That said, I don't know what impact there would be on health insurance; but I have found that when it comes to travel insurance I have had to declare it but it hasn't made any difference to the premium. However, I realise things can be very different in other parts of the world, and I am not sure where you are from, @Ginger38

      Yes I figured out I couldn’t have gluten years ago when I was symptomatic and tested positive, but was misinformed and told I couldn’t have celiac but to go gluten free. I was already gluten free. I was never willing to go back on gluten and make myself so sick to have the biopsy especially when the biopsy isn’t 💯. But Now I have to have a procedure anyway and he told me he was doing the biopsy either way .. but I should consider the gluten challenge since I have never had the biopsy. He acted like it was super important to have this on paper.  I had no idea there were any possible negative drawbacks to having a formal diagnosis 🤦🏼‍♀️
