New Food Intolerances

I know there is a thread on tapioca intolerance. This is my new intolerance. I am curious as to why we seem to get new food intolerances. It's very annoying because we are already inconvenienced enough having to eat gluten-free. Not that I should be complaining since I feel great. But I just want to know why these things keep happening to us.

I don't know, other than maybe the protiens in these substances may be similar and our system responds to them as aliens. You will have to wait for a better answer. :blink:

I think it has to do with leaky gut. I don't think these additional intolerances are always permanent.

Yes, I hope they are not permanent. I was casein intolerant for the first year of being gluten-free. I have a science thinking mind and so I like to ask why. LOL

i bet non celiac people have them but are just unaware of it. People who have celiac are probably very very aware of exactly what we put in our bodies, and therefore can probably pick out better what's bothering us. (I'm sorry you're intolerant to tapioca!)

I don't really know the answer either. One reason might be that your exposure to different foods has changed. i.e. you are eating more of something now as a repacement.

My allergist has told me that a food intolerance can develop to anything that you eat more often than every 4 days.

I am hoping that after 1-2 years of strict gluten free that my allergies will calm down as it has for some people.

I've heard the four day intolerance rule before. It's funny though, I eat the same homemade bread daily for five days with the same pb & j. I try to vary everything else I eat. I haven't had any other new intolerances yet. Oh it's lots of fun listening to your body. I think the previous poster is right, celiacs are very in-tune with their bodies.

I've read about leaky gut (intestinal permeability) being the cause of the additional intolerances as well.

The image I have in my head is that my immune system is on hyper-overdrive already from the celiac, like a swarm of bees, and so things that would get mild reaction get an intense one. Most foods we eat cause our bodies to produce antibodies, but instead of a few (in my weird mental picture) lazy bees, we get a swarm. It's not surprising that all that extra stinging would cause a problem, to my mind.

I wish I knew more about food rotation. Can anybody recommend a source? Or maybe a table? (I can barely remember what I ate yesterday, much less remember to avoid it). Ah, my poor celiac brain.

I recently had to give up green tea and decaf iced tea. Not sure why - I also cannot tolerate the calcium suppliment that is added to many OJs and non-dairy milks.

Life just can be difficult. I don't know why all these additional problems. However, I do know that if I eat too much of a food, I do develop an intolerance so I try to rotate most of my foods.

Re food rotation, I can't remember the name. But there used to be several books, and also a cookbook that followed a rotation diet...did the menus for you.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Biopsy results can be negative despite positive serum antibody results for these reasons: 1. Early onset of celiac disease. Inflammation has been happening for long enough to cause damage to the small bowel lining that is observable in the biopsy sample. 2. The damage is in the part of the small bowel lining below the duodenum. The duodenum is the part of the small bowel immediately below the outlet of the stomach. 3. The damage is patchy and was missed by the one doing the biopsy. A thorough biopsy would include several samples taken from different areas of the duodenum. Not all scoping is done this thoroughly, unfortunately. 4. The positive serum antibody results are caused by some other medical problem, food or medication that mimics the inflammatory reaction typical of celiac disease.

      I am not a cigarette smoker and the only time I ever tried to smoke a cigarette was when I was 13 years old and it made me nauseous. I'm sure if I were to have kept at it, I would have developed a tolerance to nicotine such that it would no longer have made me nauseous. But I also imagine that if I quit for a good amount of time and went back to it I would be made nauseous at first again until I built up a tolerance to it. I could site many examples of toxic things we could put into our bodies in small doses at first and build up a tolerance to them but lose it again after quitting them. That's how gluten can work for the celiac. When we force our bodies to deal with it by consuming it every day, the body does the best it can to handle it and sort of gets by, even though it may be doing long term damage. But if we quit and remain off for a good period of time, we lose that tolerance. Yes, for the celiac, gluten ingestion causes the immune system to mount an attack in the lining of the small bowel. By definition, that is celiac disease. But we now know that in addition to damaging the small bowel lining, gluten can also cause inflammatory reactions in other organ systems such as the liver. About 20% of celiacs have elevated liver enzymes. So, the effects of gluten ingestion for the celiac can by somewhat system in some cases. Another example is headaches. Migraine rates are higher for the celiac population than for the general population.  Small amounts of gluten ingestion would likely cause less inflammation than larger amounts. The absence of a discernable reaction after gluten ingestion does not necessarily equate to no inflammation. This factoid can make it more challenging for "silent" celiacs to get a handle on cross contamination. It takes weeks of consistent gluten consumption for antibody levels to build up to detectable levels in the blood. Occasional accidents and missteps are not likely to be reflected in serum antibody testing. After beginning the gluten free diet, antibody levels begin to drop but it can take weeks or months to return to normal (negative) levels. For adults, it can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining but for children and young people it can be much shorter. Follow-up testing, either serum antibody or endoscopy/biopsy can gauge healing progress and can also shed light on the success and consistency of eliminating gluten from the diet.
