Why would someone react to foods at certain times of the day and not others?

Hi,

I am having a very strange issue that I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on.

I've noticed that I seem to be reacting to foods at certain times of the day and not at other times. For example, yesterday I ate the following for lunch:

Salmon

Potato

Green beans

Peas

Corn

Carrot

I reacted to one or more of the above foods. This is not what I usually eat for lunch, but here's the thing: I eat this exact meal for dinner at least once a week and I never react to it. This has only happened when I tried eating it for lunch. So what exactly is the problem here?

I've had the same thing happen with cauliflower and broccoli. I can eat those for dinner no problem, but when I tried eating them for lunch I reacted to one or both of them.

The only explanation I can think of is that it's a delayed reaction from something I've eaten earlier in the day?

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Google histamines and mast cell disease.  We run out of antioxidants as the day goes on.

But wouldn't that mean I would be having the problem later in the day instead of earlier?

Did you prepare yourself?  I would s inspect cross contamination.

When you say "react," what exactly do you mean? Is this a gluten reaction? Do you have additional food intolerance issues or allergies? There are many things that can cause reactions, and not all are related to gluten.

I don't know what kind of reaction it is, that's why I'm asking.

The problem I'm having is that I seem to be able to eat foods at certain times of the day and I can tolerate it, but eaten at a different time of day the same food will cause symptoms. It is literally the same food, just eaten at a different time of day. I've gone into more detail in the original post.

I think it would make sense for you to keep a food diary to see if you can find a common link with your reaction and a particular food. From your list, corn stands out as a common issue for many celiacs. Perhaps start by eliminating it for a couple of weeks, then add it back. You could then do this for other foods.

corn bothers me a lot - goes right through me and gives me stomach pain as well as nuts and seeds

Thanks everyone.

I forgot to mention, I do have an intolerance to high histamine foods, so that could mean I am reacting to the green beans and peas, but it wouldn't explain the reaction to cauliflower and broccoli. And again, the reactions only happen some of the time, not all the time, which makes it even more confusing.

I have a theory that my morning coffee is raising my histamine levels and then when I eat more high histamine foods on top of that, it causes a reaction.

A food diary is probably a good idea.

@Aaron, 

Cauliflower and broccoli are members of the Cruciferous family of veggies.  They contain high levels of Sulfites.  Peas are high in Sulfites, too, although they don't belong to this class of veggies.

Here's an interesting article...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4017440/

Since Sulfites are used in many processed foods, you may want to consider eating fresh foods only.  

Check your medications to see if they contain Sulfites.  

I supplemented Molybdenum, as it is needed to process Sulfites out of the body.  

Hope this helps!

P.S. Sulfite Sensitivity can cause hives.

Thanks for this information.

Now that you mention it, I have previously reacted to some packaged foods that had sulfites listed as an allergen.

I don't have hives by the way, the symptoms that I get from reactions are mostly fatigue, depression, brain fog, and upset stomach.

my morning coffee is raising my histamine levels

Do you use milk in your morning coffee? I drink a lot of coffee throughout the day and finally noticed that as the day went on, I put less milk in it so that by bedtime it was practically black. Caused a burning in my gut. Sometimes woke me later and I had to take an Alka Selzer to go back to sleep. Switching to 100% Pasture fed, no grains dairy solved it. Commercial dairy has at least double the omega 6 as grass-fed. Omega 6 is inflammatory and the aspirin in Alka Selzer (original) is anti-inflammatory and the sodium bicarbonate is an antacid. It's been my go-to for 40 years now. The attack on aspirin started when Tylenol started advertising that 9 out of ten hospitals choose Tylenol, in the previous century.

"Get fast relief of heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion with headache or body aches with this effervescent antacid and pain reliever that has been around for more than 80 years."

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Just finished my second celebrity cruise. My first was on one of their oldest ships, it was awesome! Now we have sailed on the edge class. Wow! Not only do they have so many gluten-free options but the selection is mind blowing! Any given day you will have between 5 to 7 different gluten-free cakes to try. Yes that is right, one day at the coffee shop I had to choose between 5 gluten-free cakes not including the several puddings on display. So they gave me a small piece of each. 2 were great, 2 were just good, and 1 I did not enjoy. But never have I had the tough decision of which cake to eat?  These selections are from their normal options available for all guest. In the main dining room they always surprised me with some awesome desserts.  In my opinion the best pizza was on the Millennium class and best buffet on the Edge class. Although these two ship vary in size they are both consistent and serving high quality food from the main dinning room. The edge class gives you 4 “main” dining rooms (all included). I was unsure how this would work with my gluten-free diet? It worked great! I was able to order or see the next night’s menu for each of the four dinning venues finding that very little to no modifications needed to be made due to their extensive gluten free options.  The Millennium and Edge class ships provide the best gluten-free options from any of the cruise lines I have sailed with. You will find a larger selection and options on the edge class ships, however you will not be disappointed with the smaller Millennium class. Which is still my favorite cruise ship to date.

      9 year old- questionable results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ABP! We can't comment on the test numbers you give as you didn't include the range for negative. Different labs use different units and different ranges. There are no industry standards for this so we need more information. If your daughter doesn't have celiac disease she still could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which some experts believe can be a precursor to celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. However, there is no test for it yet but it does share many of the same symptoms with celiac disease. Both require complete abstinence from gluten.  It is seldom the case during testing where all tests are positive, even for those who do have celiac disease. This is no different than when diagnosing other medical conditions and that is why it is typical to run numbers of tests that come at things from different angles when seeking to arrive at a diagnosis. It seems like you are at the point, since you have had both blood antibody testing and endoscopy/biopsy done, that you need to trial the gluten free diet. If her symptoms improve then you know all you need to know, whatever you label you want to give it. But given that apparently at least one celiac antibody blood test is positive and she has classic celiac symptoms such as slow growth, constipation and bloating, my money would be on celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      9 year old- questionable results

      By ABP · Posted

      My nine-year-old daughter has suffered with severe constipation and bloating for years as well as frequent mouth sores, and keratosis Polaris on her arms. She also has recently decreased on her growth curve her % going down gradually.  After seeing a gastroenterologist, her IgG GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG) was 22.4 while her IGA was normal. Her TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 11.9.  Most recently her genetic test for celiac was positive.  After an endoscopy her tissue showed inflammation of the tissue as well as , increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) but there was no blunting of the change in the villi.    It seems that every result that we get one out of two things positive rather than all leading to an inconclusive diagnosis. While we do have another appointment with the doctor to go over the results. I'm curious based on this information what others think.    I would hate to have her eliminate gluten if not necessary- but also don't want to not remove if it is necessary.    Signed Confused and Concerned Mama

      I guess using "GF" instead of "PL" would have been too easy! 😉

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.
