Other Intolerances?

I've been gluten free for a year and a half now, and the past few months I've been having problems again. They are similar to my gluten symptoms but different, too (no weight loss, no anxiety, etc.--just mainly GI issues). I know for a fact that I'm not getting gluten, and I don't eat out, so it's not that. So, I think it's other food intolerances, especially dairy. I cut dairy/casein out this weekend, and I feel a bit better. My question to you all is, for those of you who have other intolerances, how long did it take for you to feel completely better once you cut those foods out? Days? Weeks? I just hope it's not anything worse than a food intolerance.

Thanks for any input anyone has!

I think it's a different time frame for everyone. From reading different posts on this board it looks like it's a mixed bag. Several people are forever battling and trying to figure out their multiple food intolerances, while others cut out one or two things and they get immediate results and thrive.

I just found out two new things to watch, one an intolerance - I think, just this month. I cannot have any meat if it has been sitting out in the meat section, I only seem to be able to eat meat behind the counter, not wrapped, not packaged. Also, no more non-dairy milk (except I haven't tried my Vance's yet - I will, I will), no rice, no hazlenut.

For me, if it is bothering me, I can eliminate the food, once I have figured it out, and start to feel better in a day but it really takes up to a week to get it out of my system.

Most of my problems are GI but my knees ache when my food gets messed up, any food - they really are my best indicator that something is really making me sick and it isn't my GI out of wack again.

Have you tried eliminating all grains and night shades? LLee

they say calcium keeps you thin--if weight is a problem-eat calcium foods. magnesium helps it to absorb. LL

I have played with the grains and some plain rice doesn't bother me, I just don't overdo it. Also, I was afraid I had issues with potatoes but now that I fixed the other things, I am fine and I have potatoes on a regular basis.

My sister has issues with nightshades.

Julie,

When I was trying to figure out what was causing the dark circles under my daughter’s eyes, I read that it takes 2 weeks for your body to get rid of the bad stuff and to heal enough that you notice.

When I finally cut out dairy and chocolate out of her diet the dark circles went away in two weeks.

When my son gets sulfites, it takes him two weeks for all of his problems to go away too. I would give any new diet changes at least a two week trial. I have had some luck doing a Google search on the symptoms and adding the word allergy. Sometimes you can find people who have written their story. These stories seem to be more accurate and helpful than people who write articles. Good luck figuring it out.

Interestingly, I recently found out that it was fructose that was causing my indigestion problems (someone has recently posted a link to fructose malabsorbtion). I can tolerate some of it but I have to eat a lot of starchy foods.

My stomache will start gurgling really bad then the next day I'll wake up and feel/look like crap. Huge dark circles under my eyes, gluten symptoms but without anxiety.

This has been a hard bullet to swallow this past couple months but now I know and I feel better. The hint for me was that I have never been able to handle fruit juices.

At least I can handle milk which I guess is a bit of a blessing. For the longest time I thought it was milk but nope! ;)

I've been gluten-free for 2.5 years now.

Good luck

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      I realize I'm super late in the game regarding this topic but in case anyone is still reading/commenting on this one-does anyone who is especially sensitive have their personal observations to share regarding Primal Kitchen brand?  My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with celiac and within 6 months, her follow up labs were normal and a year later vitamin levels significantly improving, but we are still battling GI symptoms; particularly, constipation, so much that she has been on MiraLax every day since she was 3.  We've managed to get her down to a half cap every other day but without that, she continues to have issues (when she has a known, accidental ingestion unfortunately it takes a lot more MiraLax and additional laxatives to help her).  I was searching for something else and found this and am wondering if anyone has any specific comments regarding Primal Kitchen.  I feel like we are so incredibly careful with diet, logging diet and symptoms to look for patterns (we've had multiple dieticians help with this piece as well), not eating out, contacting companies and of course, there is always room for improvement but I'm running out of ideas regarding where her issues could be coming from.  Even if the Primal Kitchen is contributing, I'm sure it's not the only thing contributing but I can't help but think there must be handful of things that are working together and against her.  The ingredients list distilled white vinegar, but also white wine vinegar and balsamic, then "spices" which I'm always cautious about.  However, after contacting the company, I felt more comfortable allowing her to consume their products but over time I've realized that the front-line customer service support people don't always provide the most accurate of information.  Thanks for reading to anyone that does.
