I Think You're My People!

For 2 months now, I've been reading and commenting on this board, and i have to say how glad i am to have found you all. It's like i've found people who are "my" people!

My first food allergy was at 2 weeks, when my pediatrician had my mom giving me orange juice, and i vomited it across the room. That was the start of the food fun, i suppose. I've had terrible teeth and saw a few posts in the past week about others with that problem, so i looked online and found that celiac is the underlying cause of it! I've been allergic to citric acid since i was about 15 - but never met another person who was. And here there are a bunch of you that have it in your sig lines! Citric acid is evil stuff!

At about that same age, I became lactose intolerant, too. i've been taking digestive enzymes since i found them about 15-20 years ago and no doc could ever explain to me why i needed them to be able to eat - but here there are many people who use them. i've had all these food allergies/intolerances and other than my mom, never known anyone else who also had so many. When I order in a restaurant I have to ask "does this have cinnamon/oregano/basil/thyme/pork/citrus/blah blah in it?" Now I add gluten on to the list. I had the worst acne of almost anyone i knew - and a lot of people here also have skin issues.

I just read someone's post that said they were in their 50's and the first sign that they'd gotten glutened was their face the next morning. YES! I get that face too!

*sigh*

so i know this is a bizarre post but i just had to say thanks for being here. I'm learning so much by reading everyone's posts - so many of my "odd" symptoms seem to be connected to celiac disease. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but at the same time, am thankful for me not being the only person with all of this stuff. I think people here understand - and after feeling like the weirdest person around, I'm glad for some company living in Food Intolerance Land.

btw, how do you put info into your sig lines?

I had to come because I laughed when I saw this post. I find myself often mentioning conversations from here to my husband and instead of saying things like "so I was talking to the people on the forums" which takes forever to say I stick with "I was talking to my people" or "my people say" and he knows exactly who I mean. I've been calling everyone here my people probably since I just started coming. :D

Sometimes misery loves company. It was something I could show my kids and say, "Look how many other people have this!!?" You are not alone.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By Monte Carlo Fine Taste · Posted

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.
