hi everyone :)

i was wondering if i need to worry about cross contam with my other intolerances like i do with gluten? does anyone get sick from their food TOUCHING things like corn, soy, dairy, nightshades, peanuts, etc... or is that only a gluten thing? right now i'm being super crazy about gluten, and then just not eating things with my other intolerances in the ingredients. but not feeling 100% yet, so thought i would ask!

thanks!

How did you determine that you had those other intolerances? I found out that I am sensitive to very small amounts of gluten. I think that this is genetic. I found out that reactions that I was having that I was told were intolerances were actually due to traces of gluten. I found out that if I could get these items in a pure form, that I didn't react to them after all.

Do you know if you react to oats? If you do, then you have to be careful about oat cross contamination too.

I hope that you can start distance soon.

I have to be just as careful with soy as I do gluten. I'm pretty sensitive to small amounts of gluten, and the same with soy. Thankfully, the reaction soy gives me doesn't last nearly as long as a gluten one, but it makes me feel pretty gross for a couple of hours.

Although, I am one of those people that can handle soy lecithin, so, go figure :huh: So much of this is a trial and error, unfortunately.

I tested positive to soy protein. My doctor said I should be able to handle soy lecithin. Still, I'm scared to try anything that lists soy lecithin as an ingredient.

i noticed reactions to some of the intolerances (corn, peanut, soy, nightshades, rice) and the rest of the foods i'm avoiding (almonds, eggs, yeast, most nuts) showed up on an IgG test I had done from Immunolabs.

My Enterolabs results also said that i do in fact react to yeast, soy and dairy.

i too am super ultra sensitive to even a micro amount of gluten. i've really sworn off restaurants for now, i'll have to think about that again later...

so maybe for now i'll be super diligent about hidden corn and soy in products as well!

the other day at whole foods market i was buying veggies and grass-fed beef, and the checkout belt had flour all over it!! the poor employee did not understand why i started freaking out and handing the groceries straight to him :) haha

I ask the checkout lady to make sure that DH's bread is in its OWN bag, and I place it at the far end of the counter, and I put it away first thing when I get home, wash my hands, and then put the REST of the groceries away, lol.

My DS is severely allergic to milk, and we have to be just as careful about CC with that as with gluten. His aunt tried to give him bacon off her plate, and DH was like NO!! Don't do that!! LOL. They just don't get it...

      What should I do with these test results?

      From the article you linked: "Currently, there are no recommended methods to test for non-celiac gluten sensitivity." "No recommended methods" is the key phrase here. Just on the anecdotal evidence of reading many posts on this forum, I think we sometimes see some elevated igg test scores with NCGS. They seem to be mildly elevated in these cases, not high...

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the...

      Reply to Russ H, Thank you for your input. As a nurse for 46 years I was aware of much of this. However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer...

      Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the same necklaces for literally years with no reaction. The dermatologist at the time repeated over and over again that “allergies are acquired.” Which I knew. But I was not reacting to any other jewelry I was wearing. So it didn’t make any sense to me that it would only be from my necklaces. Anyway, it abated on it’s own. Only to come back with a vengeance months later - and I had not worn any necklaces at all. And the rash involved more area. I was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) taper and it worked well, and the itch and eventually the rash went away. Another trip to a different dermatologist at that time, prior to starting the Prednisone, told me to change all of my hygiene products like soap and shampoo, and to slather on Vaseline. None of which worked, hence the Prednisone. Needless to say, the itch and subsequent rash returned - and now spread everywhere, not just the hollows on both sides of my neck. It’s there, on my upper chest and left breast, both upper arms front and back, and elbows, my entire back, down both of my hips and buttocks and the front of my right thigh. Now the back of that right thigh is starting to itch as well. Also my lower right forearm and middle knuckle on my left hand since going gluten free. I’m just itching everywhere all the time. It keeps me awake, or wakes me up when I do fall asleep. I’m trying my best not to scratch, but it’s nearly impossible! I’ve been using a dry washcloth to rub instead of scratching. And I have used cool wet washcloths which help, but only lasts for a few minutes before starting up again. I’m pretty much at my wit’s end. Just waiting for something to indicate what’s really going on so I can do SOMETHING to stop it!

      Reply to Russ H, Thank you for your input. As a nurse for 46 years I was aware of much of this. However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer to abate. Instead of relief from the Dapsone, I had adverse reactions so had to stop it. After 2 months on it, if hadn’t helped with the itching at all, and I understand it usually helps in the first few days if it’s going to. My itch and rash actually got worse on the Dapsone and with going gluten free - which lead me to question whether I was getting glutined from other products I am using. It’s like a huge puzzle trying to put all these pieces together to somehow make it fit and make sense. Right now, myself and my doctor are perplexed.
