Advise About Salicylates/histamines

im beginning to feel my problems are nothing to do with gluten and more to do with histamines and salicylates.( all tests neg, even allergy tests)

 

so ive still got the rash on hands and face even though ive changed all toiletries and makeup, and im now eating a very restricted diet

ate some cheese the other day which i think makes my hands worse but when i think about it i ate a mixed salad with olives and olive oil, tomatoes, peppers,hummus and grilled halloumi .nearly all of them high in histamines!!!

 

i also bought some ds gluten free bread- it was on the reduced section at 30 p!!- bought 3 loaves coz it doesnt have potato in it. but it did have soya and yeast.  the rash on hands and face is pretty bad now. so is it the soya or the yeast in the bread-which ive read is high in histamines.

 

if i do have a problem with histamines wouldnt it have shown up in my allergy tests when they put the tester on?

 

im so confused at the moment. on the one hand i feel im restricting my diet for nothing, but on the other i do know im reacting to things.

cant remember now why i was looking at salicylates heads a bit mixed up at the moment. how would i bring this up at the doctors? considering they,ve probably not heard of it.and ive read to be tested for histamine you have to be eating it.ive probably cut most of it out due to the diet im eating at the moment.

any help gratefully received.

Honestly I'm just as confused in my situation cept it's allergies or sals. I too don't want to be on such restricted diet unless need be. Eating the same thing over and over is making me more sick.

im feeling the way i did before i gave up gluten and dairy!

 

i have this sickly feeling that goes right up to my adams apple, i can feel something stuck in my throat and i have absolutely no appetite but still not losing weight.

im proper fed up!

The throat and weight thing sounds like possible thyroid.

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
