Food Sensitivities

Well, after several years of thinking I had a gluten intollerance and two doctors suggesting I get tested - which I chose not to do B) - I finally decided to try to eliminate gluten from my diet. WOW!!! What a difference!! I felt normal...it was truly amazing to me, I could live without pain and not be tied to the bathroom and not "stink" up the whole house.

I finally figured it out the way I figured out I was Lactose Intollerant several years ago by eliminating the food for several days then reintroducing it--for 4 days of pain. Well, now that my stomach is not in constant pain, I have discovered that I have food intollerances to:

-Lactose (milk and ALL related products)

-Gluten

-Peanuts (and ALL related products including peanut oil)

-Corn (and all related products including High Fructose Corn Syrup) in all but the smallest amounts

-I have not tried oats - I have been a little leary

I can still eat rice...my question is, is this somewhat normal? :o

I have NOT been tested for celiac disease--I did not feel the need for the label.

Thanks in advance - Kate

If you react to all dairy products, you may want to change that "lactose intolerant" to "casein intolerant". There may be a few more things (ah, those silly ingredients with chemical names) that you have to eliminate, but it may help. If it truely is lactose and not casein, you may want to try dairy again in a few months. (The very tips of the intestinal villi is what produces lactase, and if they've been damaged from gluten, you'll - temporarily - be lactose intolerant. But as the intestines heal, you may start producing lactase again.)

I have recently determined (from my elimination diet) that I'm sensitive to casein as well. (A similar reaction as the one I have to gluten, though not quite as bad.) I thought I was sensitive to corn, but it doesn't particularly cause much in the way of symptoms. I think my digestive system doesn't digest it quite as well as it ought to (it seems to move pretty fast (not diahrrea), so I won't be eating whole corn, but homemade corn tortillas did just fine for me.

I think, additionally, that I may be sensitive to olive oil! I haven't found any research to support this, but at the very least, relatively high heat cooking with olive oil seems to give me a headache. (No, I'm not burning the oil; I keep it well below the smoke point.) I'll be investigating that a bit more as well.

I don't think, from what I've read, that it's really that uncommon to have a number of sensitivities - and the ones you listed are relatively common. You've definitely got company in the multiple sensitivity realm! :-)

It does seem fairly common (although i don't think i have additional intolerances or any allergies).............

      Immediate Reaction

      By FayeBr · Posted

      Hi. It has been a while since I have been Glutened but I have had reactions to soy in the last year. But yesterday I ate 3 crisps that stated it contained just dehydrated sweet potatoes. They are not certified gluten free but I thought they would be safe. Immediately I felt like they were stuck in my throat and I had acid reflux with indigestion. I had breathing problems too. Brain fog then followed and I have today got all the aches and pains, tinnitus, nausea, sickness, D, low mood, weakness and neuro symptoms. My question is does anyone else have an instant severe reaction like this to gluten. I used to have a period of 12/24 hours before having symptoms. This was quite a shock to be so severe and come in so quickly. Thank you

      I have celiacs disease,  and am highly allergic to gluten.

As well as major belly pains ect. There must be trace amounts in my opionion. Which sux, cuz I love the stuff. But it just isn't worth the allergic reactions.

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @CarolTN I haven't been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis but as @Scott Adams says, like a lot of coeliacs I do suffer from itchy skin, and now adult onset eczema. The latter started during one of the lockdowns.  I find my skin is often itchy if the temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot, that seems to set it off. This time of year is bad,  I also get an itchy throat, so maybe pollen is having some effect. I am not sure where you live but here I'm mentioning the products I buy in the UK that help me - they may be available where you live? For my scalp, I have used with some success Neutrogena T-Gel, but I think Philp Kingsley's products for flakey, itchy scalps are amazing. I've used the shampoo and the toner. For the rest of my skin, I use something called Adex Gel after I have showered, and then any really itchy patches I treat with Betnovate, a steroid cream, 20 minutes later, as suggested by a doctor. I currently have some very stubborn patches around my waist, no idea what they are - Canesten anti-fungal cream makes them worse, so does Betnovate.  But when I rub the patches, they disappear, i.e. blanch, which apparently classic for dermatitis.  It's a constant challenge! When I first got eczema I had given up chocolate and was eating cakes which contained almonds.  My blood tests showed the markers for eczema were elevated at that time - the  IgE.  I felt there might be a connection. So you  may find something in your diet isn't helping the situation, other than gluten? Cristiana
