What Foods Besides Gluten Foods Set You Off?

I think high fat foods, beef, dairy and some soy foods set me off. Also many hurbs and tomatoes. What about you? Pickled foods do too.

Both high fat and high sugar give me D...not sure if it's the lack of gallbladder or something else. I had my gallbladder out 2 weeks after diagnosis so I never got to see how I did gluten free with a gallbladder.

I'm doing a trial elimination of soy and dairy...After 6 days I don't notice any less bloating.

Soy, garlic, dairy, eggs whole( baked into recipes don't bother me) and whole rice bothers me.  I was using a huge tub of " I can't believe it's not butter" that I bought after my diagnosis that I was using in everything I needed butter for not ever even thinking twice that soy is on the ingredient list in like four different places.  I stopped using it on Thursday and feel considerably better already. High fat foods and high sugar foods also bother me. Damn food

If high fat and protein is botheriing you, look into exocrine pancreatic insufficiency: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/105648-exocrine-pancreatic-insufficiency/?hl=%2Bexocrine+%2Bpancreatic+%2Binsufficiency

Corn , Soy, Lactose, Think i'm getting some lactose back! I can eat regular butter now! I don't care about soy, and corn , well I don't care if I ever get HFCS (High Fructose corn syrup) back , but it would be nice to eat corn chips! Soy I really don't care about tho either.

What does not set me off is: rice, GFcornflakes, eggs, lactosfree milk, coffie, salt, gum, crispbread made of rice and cornflour, cheese, butter, chicken (don't know about fish and other meets, chicken is the only thing that taste good just with salt).

 

Anything else can set of some symptoms. I don't know what kind of food intoleranca I have, if other things irritate the system because I am not healed after gluten damage or something else is bothering me. I haven't tested positive for celiac though.

Hi Klisja,

 

Have you ever do a test for the allergy at nickel? My mother has this problem and the foods that she can eat are very limited... I don't know if this can help you, but if you don't feel good I think that prove something else is important.  :)

I cannot eat eggs, dairy, or soy. I'm in the midst of an elimination diet right now, and sadly (but not unexpectedly) reacted to corn. Nightshades are also suspect, but I haven't put them to the test yet. However, after avoiding them completely for the past 3 weeks, the joint pain is gone. I will miss potatoes and tomatoes the most. :-(

 

When I first got diagnosed 8 years ago, there were very few foods I could eat without a reaction. Over the years I have gradually added things back in as I healed. But apparently there are some things that seem to have a permanent place on my naughty list.

Dairy and excess sugar bother me. I feel much better on a dairy free, low sugar diet.

Hi Ele, thanks for responding.

 

I haven't been tested for anything but celiac (wich was negative) and some common allergies. I have looked into nickel but I have yet to test if that is the case. I have alot of testing to do to see what kind of chemicals I don't tolerate, if I can stay clean for a while (but that is soooooo hard :blink: ).

 

Your english is just fine, I am from Iceland and know how puzzling it can be sometimes to line up the right words in a sentence :P

Pretty much everything, unfortunately. I'm so frustrated right now. My food intolerance issues started with lactose intolerance in 2005, then onions and green peppers, then a bunch of other things. Last year, while working with a dietitian, I had some food sensitivity testing done, and found many other things, from meat to fruits and vegetables and tea(!), that I have reactions to. I was just diagnosed with celiac disease and leaky gut this May. Now, my dietitian thinks I may have sensitivities to high FODMAPs foods, which I understand, as many of those foods were also on my test results last year. However, being dairy-free, meat-free and gluten-free already, eliminating high FODMAPs foods leaves me very little to eat.  I'm currently eliminating oats to see if they are causing continued issues, so I'm stumped for breakfast foods. 

 

Sometimes I get so envious of people I see in restaurants who can eat whatever and not have to worry about it making them sick!

Hey Millerb68

 

Have you looked into amines, salicylates and glutamates and tried failsafe diet? It's a tough challenge but might help, here is a great site Open Original Shared Link

 

The food restrictions bother me less then peoples behavior around my intolerances. Sometimes I feel like a freak!

Thank you, Klisja! I will look into that! I hadn't even thought about additives. I eat mostly whole foods (fruits, veggies, few grains), but I bet there are some hidden additives in things I'm not thinking about. 

 

Yes, people's behavior around my intolerances brings a lot of eye rolls. They think I'm being difficult or picky!

I hate to hear people treating other people bad because of their intolerances. Not like you chose this for your self. I really feel Bad for anyone with all the intolerances. I just have a few. I feel so lucky. But when I tell someone my intolerances they say. Wow! What on earth can you eat?

This pattern is very common among people with mastocytosis.

I think people don't like when your different, "you ought to be like the group and eat cake!". Once at work I had a piece of candy and one lady said she was so happy seeing me eating candy! I notice when I eat with other people that they don't relax and eat their food, they are watching what other are doing with their food. Pretty weird.

I'm sensitive to gluten and dairy (casein, whey, and lactose). Sometimes, I feel like the dairy is harder to avoid, and have to ask about vegetable sides containing butter whenever I go out to eat--still figuring out all the places where family and restaurants sneak in milk, butter, and flour.

Im sensitive to Gluten and dairy and allergic to soy. had a run in the other day put me to shame. I make all my food at home, if I leave, I make sure to bring food with me. Some sodas are ok. found out why fanta made me sick, had soy in it. you just dont think about whats in food until this stuff happens to you. I wish I knew what the the gluten tasted like before the modified the strain.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
