I thought I had a reaction to tapioca months and months ago so I cut it out of my diet. I am challenging it today. I had one bite of a thing with tapioca and waited about an hour. No reaction. Then I ate another bite and waited. Then about 4 bites.

So far no reaction.

Remind me of how I should proceed. When will I know for sure it's safe? It's been awhile since I did a food challenge.

I would still be on the lookout for any reaction for 2 days or so. I'm sensitive to tapioca, and the last time I tried it I had stomach cramps hours later in the middle of the night.

I won't eat anymore today and see if anything comes up by tomorrow. I have salsa dance class tonight so my main hope is no gas! It's a partner dance. :lol::huh:

I had a scary reaction actually. My tongue was tingling and my nose got very stuffy, more like allergy than intolerance. But the thing I ate also had soy in it. Recently I tried something with soy again and got that same stuffy nose and tingly mouth so I'm thinking it was the soy, not the tapioca.

So I have no allery type reactions and it's been like 3 hours. I believe I'm in the clear for that. Now I have to wait for intolerance type of reactions.

I sure hope I can eat tapioca. It will broaden my horizons.

That's so funny. As I was reading I thought," that will increase her food choices.". :P

Have fun at salsa class.

Thanks! It's two classes for only $10 plus dancing afterwards. A year ago I never thought I would be able to do this again. It's so amazing feeling good and getting my strength back.

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
