Foods that cause allergy

24 May 2004

In theory, any food can cause a food allergy. But in fact just a handful of foods are to blame for 90% of allergic reactions to food. These foods are known as the

I do have a couple of questions. The milk test from entero labs, is it for lactose intolerance or protien allergy? Also, I've read that many people with celiac disease have lactose intolerance. But then I've read that after the intestines start to heal on a gluten-free diet, they find that they can once again eat dairy. Has that been true for many here? Hugs, Carol B

How nice to see that rice and peaches go together as allergens. I am allergic to peaches, and right now am struggling to breathe because I ate some rice crisps. I do have an IgE mediated reaction to grasses, of which rice is one. It is just nice to have some answers.

Kalo (Carol B.),

Enterolabs milk sensitivity test is for milk protein. Lactose is a milk sugar. I've been told by my childrens GI that we should outgrow the milk sensitivity. I hope so. I miss cheese terribly, so does my daughter, and my kids would like some regular ice cream! There are just so many more gluten-free foods we could eat, but currently have to avoid because of the dairy!

I liked this article because it explains a lot about how allergies affect people. It also explained why I can tolerate soybean oil and soy lecithin, but not soy in the form of soy sauce. I always wondered about that.

God bless,

Mariann

How will you know that you have out grown the milk sensitivity? Testing or trying dairy? It was lactose intolerance that I read about that went away once the intestines started to heal. May do a search on both of them. Yes, I do hope I can have dairy. That's got to be a tuffy. Hugs, Carol B

I suppose we will know by trying dairy again and seeing if we have problems. I planned on waiting at least 6 months to a year. If we do fine on dairy, then after a few months, getting the test done again to make sure we are not producing antibodies to milk. I'll probably do that when we retest for gluten antibodies. Being gluten free is easy, compared to gluten & dairy free!

God bless,

Mariann

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      By trents · Posted

      Staci, take note of the forms of magnesium and zinc I recommended. With some of the vitamins and minerals, the formulation can be very important in how well they are absorbed. Many of the vitamin and mineral products on supermarket shelves are in a form that maximizes shelf life rather than bioavailability which, in your case, would seem to be a critical issue. And with magnesium, if you use the typical over the counter form (magnesium oxide) you may find it has a definite laxative effect (think, "milk of magnesia") simply because it isn't well absorbed and draws water into the colon. Spend some extra money and get quality vitamin and mineral products and research the issue of bioavailability. There are forum members who are knowledgeable in this area who may have recommendations. Do you have Costco stores where you live? Is Amazon available to you?

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      And yes, of course it's better to know and we will adjust.  It's just, he's 7 and in our house we can control what he gets. But he plays soccer 3 times a week and in the changing room the boys share candies. I can and will tell him not to accept them any more, but "mistakes" will be made.   I'm really burdened by the potential social impact for him. He so loves to go to a restaurant as a family - I'll guess that's finished. Going to birthday parties at another kids house? I am reading about Coeliacs and apparently the fact that something as much as TOUCHED something with wheat is enough, even if he doesn't feel the symptoms - how can we control that bar from keeping him locked up?    And the worst worry of all: how do you tell a little boy to do all of this to not have symptoms that he does not have. If he'd been having horrible diarrhea or feeling really tired, we could tell him 'see, you feel so much better now, that kind of food was just not good for your body', but now, what will our argument be? For clarity: of course we will put him on the diet, I am not saying I don't believe in the necessity of that, it is just that it will be quite a stretch to 'sell' it to him 😞

      I’m 41. You have helped me achieve the goals of finding a way of getting nutrients into my body so I will see how it works for me. Thank you so much.

      By Kathleen JJ · Posted

      Thank you for your reaction. The reference values are both "<10", although I found a medical paper from Netherlands (I'm Belgian) who use the same values and there the see a positive daignosis as twice more then 200 and a positive biopsie. I didn't see how to change this in my original message, sorry...

      Hi Kathleen Welcome to the forum. I am based in the UK so I am just picking this post up before our US based moderators appear.  I think they will want to know the lab values of both of the figures you have provided us with (min/max reading) as they tend to vary - could you post those for us, please? We see a lot of coeliacs who also have helicobacter pylori on this forum.  I am not sure how that would reflect in the blood results so I will leave this to be answered by my more experienced colleagues @trents or @Scott Adams. Obviously, you won't really know for sure where things stand until you have your meeting with the consultant.  I am sorry that you have to wait, but it will be worth knowing one way or another.  Apart from his recent gastric issues, it is fantastic to know that your son is otherwise a picture of health.  But it is worth bearing in mind that undiagnosed coeliac disease can cause health issues in the longer term, so far better to know now if he does turn out to have coeliac disease and adapt your son's diet accordingly, before other health issues have a chance to appear.
