I hope this is the right place that I can ask for help. I have been trolling the internet looking for somewhere to ask my questions.

 

I have been diagnosed as having allergies to Yeast, Tomatos and dairy. Dairy and tomoatos aren't so bad, I have been dairy free now for a year as I always felt unwell when I ate dairy products. The yeast is getting to me. The list of foods I can't eat is huge and majority of them play a big part of my diet right now.

 

Walking through the supermarket I cried at the small amount of things I can eat. I brought the yeast free/ Gluten free bread and it is horrible. Im scared that I am not going to be able to stick to this diet but the side effects of this allergy are horrible and I have been waiting 2 years to find out what the hell was wrong with me. I guess my biggest thing that I am wanting it some reassurance from people suffering from the same thing, that there is foods that I can have when we go for dinner etc.

 

Thank you all for your time

Eat tortillas! Eat rice and have a cupcake made with a milk substitute. Just don' t eat bread and donuts!

Obviously this is celiac website. Has celiac disease been ruled out? You said that you feel better without dairy, but you know for sure that yeast and tomatoes make you sick?

Giving up tomatoes means giving up peppers and potatoes too.

I am allergic to tomatoes. I have no issues thus far with potatoes. Are you thinking of a nightshade intolerance rather than an allergy?

I do not know. I am only an expert regarding my allergies and intolerances. Ha! I am allergic to eggs, nuts, garlic and milk proteins. If I consume anything related to garlic (onions, leeks, etc.) I react the same way (congestion, itchy mouth, intestinal cramping, rash). Same goes for nuts. If it grows on a tree I am allergic to it, but I am fine with peanuts which are a legume.

Emmah might consider testing out the rest of the nightshade family if she has been told that she is allergic to tomatoes.

There is a lot of dispute on how to define an allergy and I am not going to get into it. My MD, who is an allergist, did the skin scratch testing and told me what I was allergic to which is basically what my mom, brother and I have known forever. Unfortunately, these same allergies are popping up in the grand kids.

I just hope Emma is on the right path.

True enough :)

 

I don't eat peppers and the rest, just potatoes on occasion.

As has been stated, this is a celiac site, and celiac in itself would not preclude us from eating dairy, yeast or tomatoes.  That said, all celiacs are experienced with having to tinker with their diet.  You're right.  A lot of that gluten free stuff tastes like garbage!  That said, there are also a lot of good things out there.  If I had to eliminate yeast, tomatoes and dairy, I would look into asian or south american cuisine if I were going out to eat.  There should be some good options.  Obviously a good steakhouse is still in as well.  Pasta is going to be difficult as most will have either dairy or tomato included. 

 

At home...I'd invest in a rice cooker.  You can make some amazing stir-fry that is going to be free of your allergens and gluten free as well.  Throw some seasoned chicken in with the stir-fry veggies for a great meal.

Being allergic to yeast doesn't mean you have to eat gluten free. You might want to google recipes for yeast free things - you could use baking soda or baking powder to help things like cookies & cakes rise. Might be harder to get good bread.

Thanks everyone for the help. I guess it just seems so hard going from eating whatever I like to being what seems so restricted.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
