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.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
