Other Food Allergies Or Something Else

Hi everyone. I have been gluten free for a little over two years and casein free for about let's say a year and half. I still get sick all the time and I'm careful of what I eat and am specific when I go places about how my food should be. I still get diarrhea all the time and so I am wondering if I could have some other food allergy or if it's something else. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Hi Clarise,

My daughters and I had been struggling with a wide range of symptoms and it wasn't until recently that we related them all to food. The most helpful test to us was the ELISA blood panel, which will test your blood for reactions to about 100 different foods. In addition to picking up gluten and dairy problems, it also picked up eggs, peanuts, sesame and sugar.

Here is some more information about it. Most naturopaths are aware of this test:

Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be...

Thanks for the information. I hope it will some of it.

You say "when you go somewhere"; does that mean you eat out fairly often? Even if you are very specific, you may be getting cross-contamination. Do your symptoms coincide with eating out, or do you eat out (or anywhere where you have not prepared your own foods) too frequently to tell?

No not very often, but just when I have anything even if I fix it myself I still get sick. No I hardly ever eat out. But I've just started college two weeks ago and every day I have been sick to my stomach. It is no fun. I don't know. Maybe I'll just need to talk someone at school about preparing the food.

Have you ever tried eliminating corn? Sorry for those of you that have read my recent posts - a bit redundant. I eliminated it this week and it seems to have helped me (that is, until this afternoon when I made a mistake and accidently ate some). Most of my gluten-free cereals and snacks had corn in them, and, of course, corn syrup and starch are so ubiquitous. Its very hard to avoid. And yet, with the frequent exposure, I am not suprised that so many develop allergies to it. With corn, I was having the typical bathroom/stomach issues and fatigue. The stomach issues seemed to clear, though not the fatigue - who knows though, this symptom may take longer to dissipate. Also, check out some other postings that address potato and Nightshad allergies. These two (corn and potato) seem to be very common problems (aside from the dairy and eggs, that is). Good luck!

Do you have roommates? or share a kitchen with others?

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky

      Welcome to the forum, @Lburnett! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? I'm just trying to get a handle on the health context from which your question comes.
