Other Food Intolerances Disappearing!

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd share some good news with everyone, maybe give some new forumers some hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel :)

I've been gluten free for about 8 months now, and slowly but surely my other food intolerances have been disappearing. It wasn't immediate, but I found that eating small amounts of the food every now and then, my reaction to it became less and less severe.

Especially with regards to egg - I started with small amounts of egg in baked goods, then moved to well cooked egg white, and then well cooked egg yolk, and finally normal fried eggs, sunny-side up. Obviously you can't do this if you really have a egg allergy, but it's something to try if you have a non-anaphylactic reaction to egg.

Went on a cruise this week, and somehow managed to survive it without getting too badly hit with gluten :) I had eggs for breakfast every single day, since they didn't have my usual gluten-free grain cereals that I enjoy for breakfast, and had no problems whatsoever.

So my current list of food intolerances that seems to have disappeared :

Nightshades (Briefly when I went gluten-free, this was causing nausea. Disappeared first).

Eggs (A big one)

Chicken (Also big, no problems now)

Olives, coconut (Wasn't sure about these, but they're definitely not a problem now)

Chocolate (Used to get massive headaches/sinus pain from chocolate, not a problem anymore!)

Soy seems to be getting better as well! I've risked small amounts in sauces a few times now, and haven't had any bad reactions so far.

Haven't yet tested goat cheese/milk, but I'm fairly sure it'll be fine.

Quinoa seems to still be a problem :( I'm just going to stay away from that one for now :P Although that could be gluten contamination in the flour since the reaction was to processed Quinoa cereal, so not 100% sure.

Thank you for sharing this,,,It gives me hope :D

I am really OK with NOT eating gluten EVER,EVER again,,

To be honest I really dont think I would ever add soy back into my diet,but it would be nice not to worry so much about CC,,,

I would LOVE to have corn,nightshades and dairy back :D

I tried soy last week, just a tiny little bit in the form of HVP (Hydrolysed vegetable protein). Oh boy did it make me sick :( Soy unfortunately still a big problem for me.

Thanks so much for posting such good news. It gives me hope. I currently can't tolerate gluten, soy, dairy, eggs or yeast. Hearing this makes me feel like some day I will be able to add some variety into my meals again. Congrats!

The website Open Original Shared Link gives a good explanation of why other sensitvities are no longer a problem. As you might expect the core problem for most people is a leaky gut. Heal the intestines and most of the problems go away.

Thanks for the link, Edward. (I have seen this site before and it is very helpful) I have read a great deal about leaky guts during the past few years and I also think that in time, healing the gut damage from the celiac will also resolve the other intolerances. My cousin could not eat cheese and now, she can!! I remain hopeful!!

In order to keep the intestines in good condition, my impression is one should take appropriate enzymes and probiotics for life. More during the healing period, and then a maintenance amount later. And we eat less fermented food than other societies and the bad intestinal flora overwhelm the good.

I take both enzymes and probiotics and eat fermented cabbage (homemade) and when I can, will incorporate yogurt.

Good to know I am doing all I can to heal properly.

I did a ton of research and hope it pays off.

Thanks again for your thoughts! :)

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Levi · Posted

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
