Other Intolerances

Unfortunately some of us have other intolerances as well.

What I want to know, is like it says in books and on the internet, these intolerances, such as milk can go away after abstaining for a few months from the offending product. I know our intolerance for gluten is here for life.

So has anybody come through the other side of these intolerances and can eat dairy, soy or whatever again without any problems? And if you can, how long did it take?

I was intolerant to soy at first. I think it was for two or three months. I also had dairy intolerance, which is still coming and going.

Nancy, that sounds encouraging. So I guess I will have to stick with it and try soy, or dairy at a later date.

Thanks

I think it depends on whether you're intolerant of lactose or casein. If it is the casein (protein), then no. That is permanent. If it was lactose (sugar), then you might be ok once the villi grow back. Maybe... if you create the enzyme to digest it.

Pretty much what I was going to post ....

I think even with casein I have mild reactions but if I'm otherwise healthy I can put up with them.

The effect is nowhere near as strong as gluten for me but I do get awfully bunged up....

If you end up with a sinus infection or similar then this can be a real pain but otherwise is mostly an annoyance.

I haven't been able to add anything back in yet. My docs (3 different ones) all agree that because I have so many intolerances, it is unlikely that I will ever be able to eat these foods again.

However, my ears (yes ears) go through phases that last for several years and sometimes I can wear any earings, sometimes I can only wear nickle free, and other times I can only use titanium. I am currently going through a titanium only stage now and have to switch all my new earings over.

So, maybe in a couple of years, I can go back on corn or soy??? Who knows...

This is similar to what I was asking about on my ice cream post :)

I started adding foods back in as soon as my bm's normalized and I was no longer having cramps everytime I ate. About 4 - 6 months gluten free.

I've been at this for a year now, but I'd guess things really got much better about 2 months ago. Or I at least figured out that I could relax and try things again.

I have added things back very slowly though. I would add something back and then wait a day befroe trying it again.

Kefir and yogurt are good for testing your dairy intolerances because the process the go through allows them to digest easier.

Eggs still tear me up, but I keep trying them. I am experimenting with ice cream now. :D

Hang in there. It gets better ... :D

I first found out I had food allergies/intolerances/sensitivities a little over 10 years ago. I was told that if I avoided those foods for a long time and got my digestive tract healed, then I would "probably" be able to start adding them back in a year or two. That worked for things like bananas, lentils and peanuts, but definitely not wheat or gluten, milk, soy or eggs. Although I can eat a bite or two of something with soy or 3-4 cookies out of a batch of about 48 made with one egg in it and not have a major reaction . Whenever I try to add milk products (except small amounts of butter and raw goat cheese or goat yogurt) my skin (psoriasis) breaks out and I generally feel yucky.

Soy is poison no matter how you look at it.

Pick up the book DANGEROUS GRAINS you will get a better understanding of these secondary food allergies. Don't kid yourself it just gets worse. It took me 5 years to find out the truth. Something no one ever tells us about - that is the -- ROTATION DIET -- rotate (3 to 5 days out) the things you are eating so you WILL NOT develop the secondary food allergies. Then very slow you try to reintroduce small amounts and rotate a week or two weeks.

It is helping me and others that are doing it.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Levi · Posted

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

      Oats gluten free?

      By Lori Lavell · Posted

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
