I have figured out what my "load" is - the amount of sals I can tolerate. I can eat a small amount of sweet potato a day. That would be one small one, one half of a medium one, or one third of a really large one. I can eat broccoli too, but not on the same day as sweet potato. That is about the only high sals food I eat. The rest is meat, cheese, cauliflower, rice, peeled white potatoes.

 

Everyone has a different load tolerance. The secret is to find out what yours is. Cut out all sals for a while, then pick your favorite high or medium sals food and eat just a little bit. If you don't react, wait a day, then after a day off from sals, eat some more. It takes a long time to figure it out, but it's worth it.

I have yet to find the urge to stop drinking tea and coffie, I have no problem resting from fruit and veggies because that makes me so sick. I know I need a rest for few weeks, just waiting for the teabag to stop jumping in my cup (so rude).

I didn't give up my coffee. I will NEVER give up my coffee!!!! I miss blueberries so much and I bet if I gave up coffee I'd be able to tolerate them once in a while, but even my beloved blueberries aren't worth giving up coffee for.

 

One thing to keep in mind - after you have been gluten-free for a while you might be able to tolerate more things. Don't give up hope. :)

Are you allergic to salicylates or NSAIDs (e.g. Ibuprofen)?  I am, but I'm able to eat foods containing salicylates.  I guess I'll remain watchful.  I supposed moderation and rotating foods is helpful.  

 

My NSAID/Aspirin allergy has caused anaphylaxis (facial/eye, throat, tongue swelling) which was very frightening!

I'm not sure if my problem with asperin and other NSAIDs is a true allergy or just an intolerance. The last time I had any I was so sick anyway I couldn't tell. (Rash, extreme pain, and a cold verging on bronchitis.) I DO know that my jaw pain (unrelated to celiac) becomes UNBEARABLE when I am exposed and my psoriasis flares badly.

 

It's been a year since I have varied the sals in my diet. I know that a little over a year ago organic blueberries made me sick. MAYBE I could eat them now but the pain is so severe when I do react that I just don't have the heart to try.

Mmm blueberries.  :wub:  I used to eat them every day.

I've been testing abit and it has been a horrible week for me. I am afraid to test iceberg :wacko:

Maby if I would just drink coffie or tea, that would probable make a difference :)

I think I am sensitive to sals, I am not 100% sure. But a started to suscepct it was sals when I had to remove all spices from my diet. But I can't tolaret the onion family either so, I don't k now. Need some testing :)

Testing isn't very reliable. The best way to test is to do an elimination diet. Have you been to Open Original Shared Link ? They give lists of foods with their sals levels. For example, yes, spices are usually high in sals but you CAN have garlic. And although most fruits and all berries have rather high levels, you can eat bananas and pears if you peel those pears thickly. (The only reason I don't eat either of those is because it is almost impossible to get decent produce where I live.)

Yes, I am going by that list now. Or starting monday (I don't know how many mondays I've planned to start). I am allergic to bananas, and they make my colon puke (it feels like it). Where I live the pears are unripe and usually damaged before they become soft.

 

Garlic and onoins make me sick, eating garlic gives me flu like symptoms and I can't even eat garlic diffused oil (wich is supposed to be safe).

 

I am testing some things on the list, like iceberg, canned pears, cashews ect. Or I will this week when I am better.

 

Thanks for beeing here, I really appreciate the help :)

Hi... new to the board.

 

Yes I found that too. I have been intolerant to salicylic acid forever. As an adult with me it only seems to be apples, oranges and apricots that are guaranteed to take me over daily tolerance... the other suspects such as tomatoes seem fine.

 

HOWEVER before I was diagnosed coeliac I would occasionally get hayfever symptoms at times from eating a much lesser load. (That's how the salicylic issue manifests with me.)

 

Since going gluten-free I can eat a whole apple or drink two pints of cider, so I assume these two autoimmune disorders must somehow encourage each other to misbehave...

Hey just seen this thread... Just wondered what symptoms you all get with you saly intolerances/allergies??? As I saw oranges and tomatoes included somewhere I wonder whether what I have could be a saly intolerance?? I became severely asthmatic to oranges lemons limes and tomatoes after going gluten-free. I assumed it was just a citrus thing? I thought a saly intolerance produced things like bone and muscle aches, gut troubles etc.... Hmmmmm

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
