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.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.
