About Me

Celiac symptoms since childhood, with no diagnoses til age 45

Confirmed Celiac diagnoses summer 2011

Gluten-free since summer 2011

Severely corn intolerant June 2012

Grain-free since June 2012

Just enough Irish genes to put up a fight and beat all of the above.

  1. I have a very similar reaction to chips. I had to cut iodized salt, nightshades, and corn/corn oil (which is also in iodized salt) which all tend to be a risk in chips. Seaweed is high in iodine.
  2. You may have already found the low-histamine & tyramine diet recommended for people with mast cell disorders and others, but here it is: http://www.mastocytosis.ca/MSC%20HT%20Restricted%20Diet%20Nov2012.pdf Note that it's a good starting point. Most people find they have to customize their diet to look a lot like this one plus a few adjustments...
  3. Passover wines are grain free. Keep in mind that intestinal mastocytosis is commonly accompanied by other gastrointestinal conditions. One common symptom of mastocytosis is intolerance to alcohol.

I think we've safely concluded on this forum that...
  5. It's not totally an urban myth, some Celiacs are also intolerant to corn--in any form. I don't think it's a coincidence. My corn intolerance is worse than the Celiac since I have anaphylaxis even if a food has potassium citrate as an additive. I can't touch a cola or anything else with caramel color with a ten-foot pole.
  6. I grew up with so much joint pain (and no real cause other than an occasional doctor who would suggest arthritis) that I only recently realized just how often I thought being uncomfortable was normal. Joint pain is the only Celiac symptom I'm positive I had since earliest childhood, since it's the identical joint pain I still get if I have even the slightest...
