Gluten And Other Food Sensitivities

Why is it that when you develop a sensitivity toward gluten that other sensitivies also happen, as well. I had never been gluten intolerant but now that I am, I find I am also having problems with soy, high fructose, potatoes, chocolate, milk products, etc. Before this, I never had a problem digesting these foods - but now everything has soooo changed.

Does the gluten intolerance contribute to these other sensitivities??

Yes, it does. Gluten intolerance puts your intestine into a state of inflammation that makes it more likely to have other food reactions. Also, damaged intestine can become "leaky", allowing allergenic fragments of food into the bloodstream where you react to them.

You may find that these reactions subside after you've been gluten-free long enough for all the inflammation to subside and your intestine to heal.

Ditto what Skylark said. :)

Thanks so much for the explanation! Last night I spent hours reading up on Leaky Gut Syndrome and thought maybe that it what was happening - but after awhile, when you play detective for so long with no real answers, you get sort of frazzled really wondering what is going on with your body!

They had other appies to choose from so all's well that ends well. The Costco scallops are excellent but 4 x the price. Thanks!

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.
