Prevent Other Allergies ?

Is there anyway to prevent becoming intolerant to other things such as diary? Is there something you could tell me now that you wish you would have known before hand? And let's say I'm intolerant to dairy or corn etc. already, is it doing damage to my gut and the villi? Or is it just I have to put up with the consiquinces but it's not damaging anything?

This may be a dumb question, I just don't want to lose everything and I'm trying to understand the difference between being allergic and being intolerant. It would be if it's doing damage correct?

You've asked a lot of questions, but I'll give you a tip on one thing I wish I had known...

Don't eat the same thing every day. When I first went gluten-free, I started eating apples and peanut butter for lunch every day. I did this for a long time. Now I'm intolerant to peanut butter. :-(

Vary your diet.

Also, allergy and intolerance are different. You should look up allergy and see what consequences are involved in eating something you're allergic to. For me, I am allergic to nuts and I get hives, stuffy nose, my throat swells, I get eczema, and my doc says I could possibly get anaphylaxis and need to use my epi-pen. An allergy has those kinds of symptoms, an intolerance doesn't. But an intolerance can be just as severe... your body reacts differently than if you were allergic.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.
