Food Allergies

Most of us have more food allergies than just wheat, barley, and rye but I feel like one of my allergies is kind of strange and I haven't met anyone outside of my family that has it. I'm allergic to cinnamon, have been since I was 20. I never had a problem with it when I was younger and made a lot of desserts with it because it helps keep away illness. Is any one else allergic to Cinnamon? I wish I wasn't, I have gotten used to not eating it but the smell is so yummy! Even if it does make me sneeze and my face itchy :-/

Two spices that I like are fennel and fenugreek.  Fennel has a light licorice flavor and I use in gluten-free muffins or cookies.  Fenugreek tastes somewhat like maple.  My family likes the flavor.  I also sometimes use peppermint leaves for a light minty flavor.

 

I am missing cinnamon, but I can possibly eat it again one day. I know, one can't help smelling it from afar when it is being baked.   Yet, some other spices are a nice change of pace.

So you are allergic to cinnamon too? When did it develop?

I've only met one other person who's allergic to cinnamon.  That must stink.  Especially around Christmas time when everything is all cinnamon-y.  What a drag.

I have a food intolerance to cinnamon, but the hope is that as my body calms down and my digestion improves that it won't be a problem anymore.  I have got some other foods back, but since spices are so small, they are not my first priority to get back in.

So you are allergic to cinnamon too? When did it develop?

I found out by being tested for antibodies to cinnamon and tested positive. It registered as an intolerance.  I waited the indicated amount of time and longer before I tried it.  A week or so ago, I tried a supplement that had cinnamon in it.  It caused a unique reaction that I didn't get from anything else  I got aching joints and my usual general swelling. .  Use to get achy joints mysteriously in my gluten life.  This is the first trouble I had trying to add back in foods. 

 

I think that I would rather live without cinnamon than potatoes; I am not quite sure.  I say that because I tried mashed potatoes before I went on the cinnamon riddened supplement.  When My joints ached, I blamed it on the potato trial.  But my joints still hurt 8 days later, so then I noticed the cinnamon in the supplement.  I stopped taking it and my joints stopped aching the next day.

 

Soon, I will enjoy mashed potatoes again, perhaps for the last time.  I can live without the achy joints.

I have a diagnosed allergy to nutmeg. Like most of my other delayed reaction allergies, consuming nutmeg gives me days bloating and gut pain and sometimes diarrhea.  Many people have spice allergies.  I'm also allergic to vanilla.  I'm still recovering from my last accidental ingestion, which caused all the above mentioned symptoms.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
