Gluten/egg Intoelrant

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,

 

Eva

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

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      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.

      Medication

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the community! Generally, for a gluten challenge before celiac disease blood tests, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safe and should not interfere with your antibody results. The medications you typically need to avoid are those like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) that can cause intestinal irritation, which could potentially complicate the interpretation of an endoscopy if you were to have one. However, it is absolutely crucial that you confirm this with either your gastroenterologist or your surgeon before your procedure. They know the specifics of your case and can give you the definitive green light, ensuring your surgery is comfortable and your celiac testing remains accurate. Best of luck with your surgery tomorrow
