Gluten/egg Intoelrant

[Matt37]

Hi Everyone,

 

After having some tests done im intoerlant to the following: gluten,eggs, almonds, crustacean mix and hazelnut.

 

This makes sense to me, but now its a challenge to remove gluten most of all, and the informtion out there is often totally contradictory.  

One of my current issues is a permanant headache and i was wondering if stopping oats would be a good thing? They are gluten/wheat/dairy free but i think the headaches started around the time of starting these.

 

Also I had the foods listed below on Wednesday and they were all marked gluten free, but felt terrible as a result. Bloating, fatigue e.t.c Can anyone see why this might happen with the food listed below.   

 

Mediterranean Salad with Tomato, Red Onion, Peppers, Olivers and Feta Cheese

Organic Puy Lentils with Beetroot

Roast New Potatoes with Chilli Flakes and Salt & Pepper

 

I've also had issues with apples, bananas, and foods high in sugar for example a lamb shank with high sugar.

 

One of my biggest issues is maintaining a healthy weight as luckily for me it seems to drop off, but oats were one of the few things that seemed to help me maintain a steady weight. Any tips for food fatty foods?

 

Anyway be keen to hear peoples thoughts and thanks in advance for any help. 

 

Thanks

 

Matt

Sounds like you were not tested for celiac disease. Here is a link that talks about the disease and the standard blood tests. A biopsy via an endoscopy is often recommended.

Testing for food intolerances is not really accurate per my research. However, tracking foods in a diary is really helpful.

I would hate for you to go gluten free for life, if you do not have to!

Fatty foods? Add coconut oil to your coffee. Smother salads with olive oil. Bacon! Cheaper cuts of beef stewed. Chicken skin. Lots of butter.

As far as those foods you listed: peppers, cheese, tomatoes, potatoes those can bother some people with or without celiac disease. Any foods prepared outside your home are risky unless they are made in a dedicated gluten free restaurant. I am assuming someone else made them?

Thanks for your reply. Ive spent 18 months doing elimination diets and ive been tested for cealic diseaae which returned negative. The company I used for intolerance testing has helped me eliminate eggs which qas one food I always had and that has helped.

I know with gluten free bread it was the eggs giving me a reaction. Im going to remove oats for a week and see if that helps with the headaches although I have no idea what I can eat for breakfast.

Thanks

Hi Matt,

 

What a struggle, isn't it?

As for BF foods, you could try making your own "oatmeal" using, for example, quinoa flakes and milk/almond milk, maybe adding flax or chia seeds if you feel like it.

There are also nice gluten-free pancake recipes, a little involved but worth it.

 

All the best,

I can not eat eggs either. So, I always eat dinner for breakfast. Usually leftover fish or meat and a cooked veggie. In a hurry? Canned sardines, tuna or salmon with cold veggies. I add coconut oil to my morning coffee for extra calories and needed fat. By adding fats, I have finally brought up my good HDL over 20 points without raising LDL (cholesterol).

Unless the oats are certified gluten free, I would not eat them. There is too much field/processing/handling for them to be safe. Some people simply have issues with them regardless (me) and that may be due to intestinal damage at the beginning.

If you want cereal or porridge, try rice or corn-based products (e.g. Cream of Rice).

Another cereal option is Cream of Buckwheat. Open Original Shared Link
